I think the amazing thing about the psychology of it, (and humans as a whole really), is that we form attachments to just about anything. Including inanimate objects. I think the term is pack bonding.
Some people are very attached to their Roombas. Or they have a favorite mug, a preferred chair, weird knick-knacks and throw pillows they take with them any time they move.
Now apply that to a submissive/slave.

For me, objectifying my partner isn't about them being equivalent to a throw rug or a coatrack.

It's about them being the very best THING I own, a prized possession.
My pride and joy. Something I want to show off and say, "Look at this! Have you ever seen anything this great?"

The term 'object of my affection' comes to mind.

Anyways, I just realized I replied to another one of your posts earlier. Thanks for sparking discussion!

Take care,
Gigi

This is how i experience/value objectification from the opposite side as a sub.

The term "object of my affection" has also been my take, come to my mind as i have reasoned it out trying to understand.

For me, another descriptor You use is also key "possession." For whatever reason/s, objectification can strengthen a sense of being possessed for me.
