When the spark went out of Masayuki Ozaki’s marriage, he found an unusual outlet to plug the romantic void – a silicone sex doll he swears is the love of his life.
The life-size dummy, called Mayu, shares his bed under the same roof as Ozaki’s wife and teenage daughter in Tokyo, an arrangement that triggered angry rows before a delicate truce was finally declared.
“After my wife gave birth we stopped having sex and I felt a deep sense of loneliness,” says the 45-year-old physiotherapist.
“But the moment I saw Mayu in the showroom, it was love at first sight,” blushes Ozaki.
Ozaki takes his doll on dates in a wheelchair and dresses her in wigs, sexy clothes and jewellery.
“My wife was furious when I first brought Mayu home. These days she puts up with it, reluctantly,” he adds.
“When my daughter realised it wasn’t a giant Barbie doll, she freaked out and said it was gross – but now she’s old enough to share Mayu’s clothes.”
Ozaki is one of an increasing number of Japanese men turning to rubber romance in a country that’s lost its mojo.

The staff at John & Tony’s Steakhouse in West Chicago know the couple well: There’s 54-year-old John – a genial man with a big, partially toothless smile who works in truck deliveries – and his wife, Jackie, a petite, dark-haired beauty in a wheelchair whose favorite dish is bacon-wrapped dates.
The inseparable pair are staples at John & Tony’s, and it’s their annual dining spot for celebrating Valentine’s Day – but the wait staff are accustomed to taking other reservation calls, too, from people who simply want to sit near them to observe John’s doting love.
Because Jackie is no normal suburban wife; she doesn’t walk, talk, laugh or even eat her beloved dates. Instead, she’s a life-sized doll that John ‘married’ on the Jerry Springer show years ago, but he treats her like she’s a human princess, gazing adoringly at and chatting away to his silent bride (as strangers look on, aghast.)
John and Jackie are the stars of new documentary Silicone Soul, which chronicles the lives of men who’ve fallen in love with dolls – as well as other doll enthusiasts who have interests and motivations separate from sex or romance, such as a female artist who uses dolls for photography and friendship.
Sadly...I think this kind of stuff is just the tip of the iceberg.........but hey, if it keeps people from going to the zoo and shooting up a school womens dorm...get your latex on.
