I think that at least some people may find the notion of loving an object impossible because love, as opposed to an infatuation or obsession or stalking, has a component of reciprocity. If we zero that out then we all have experience of "loving" an object, even illusory ones - such as some version of ourselves that we would admire and respect and want to be. The production of experience and emotion being local, there's nothing stopping a person from feeling it even in the absence of any object. That kind of love, airquotes or not, just takes one person. People love their cars, their favorite baseball teams, a certain patch of ground, etc.
Most people don't fuck them - but love and sexuality are often disconnected or, to put it kindly, at odds with each other.
