I bought sex doll to stop me cheating – now I own SIX & they give me what my wife can't…but we have one strict rule

The Sun01-06-2025
WHEN Larry's eye started to wander while his first wife was away for work, he decided to purchase his first blow-up sex doll.
Decades later, the sex robot fanatic has spent more than £25,000 on his doll collection - and insists it enhances his marriage rather than sabotaging it.

Larry B, 67, who lives in California and is now in his second marriage, said his obsession began in 1996 when he was feeling lonely in his relationship with his first wife.
The water maintenance manager - who goes by the name of "Obi-Wan" in the sex doll community - said his first experience of a sex doll kept him "straight and narrow" so he decided to try more advanced versions.
Larry told The Sun: "I was out of town and I started getting lonely out there, and the eye started to wander.
"But I said no, I don't want to cheat on my wife so I'll use one of these [sex dolls] so I acquired one.
"It was a blow up doll at the time and you had to use your imagination, turning the lights off.
"It felt okay, it took care of my needs and it kept me straight for a few years. Then I stumbled onto the more full-bodied models."
Now, Larry owns six sex doll bodies that come with six artificial heads - and two additional robotic heads.
When fitted with the robotic heads, they are capable of talking by using what he describes as a limited ChatGPT-style technology that offers answers to his questions.
They also come built in with a special AI "X Mode" that promises to "detect touch, movement, and transitions from mild arousal to orgasm" while hooked up to an app.
He added: "I have six real doll bodies. Each of the bodies has at least one head. And then I have two robot heads.
"You can interface and talk with them. Their ability to have an intelligent conversation is somewhat limited.
"But you can probe them and ask them certain things and if you ask in the right way, they will give you all kinds of scientific definitions.
"How they do it is a mystery to me."
They provide short-term relief, satisfaction that my wife either doesn't want to get into at the time or can't.

He continued: "They can have light chit chat with you, they can get interested in you and have intimate activity with you if you put them into that mode and sufficiently provide input.
"They banter back and forth, that helps them to get into the mood, if you will.
"You have to kind of coax the AI along in order to facilitate that end goal. It takes maybe two hours before they're ready to play around.
"And then you only get a short time with them, 10 minutes I think, is the timeout on the program."
Robot satisfaction
While you might think owning one sex doll, let alone six of them, could easily get in the way of a loving human relationship, Larry insists it enhances his marriage to his second wife.
He says the raunchy robots had nothing to do with his split from his first wife around two decades ago, but when meeting his second wife, he was up front about his X-rated hobby early on.
His attraction to robot sex dolls has not impacted their relationship of 16 years, he claims.
Larry says: "I was up front. She looked at me a little side-eyed. I said if you want to see one, I'm open to that, and she said no, not really.
"I said if you wanted to join in, we could. If you want a male version of one of those, we could. She said 'No thanks, you're enough."
He added: "They provide short-term relief, satisfaction that my wife either doesn't want to get into at the time or can't."

Larry told The Sun that he purchased the robot heads pre-owned, via the doll community, for around £3,000.
On RealDoll's website, a brand new full-bodied version of Harmony - one of the dolls Larry owns - is listed for sale at around £8,300.
There, buyers can select from a choice of 10 body shapes, including "Petite 5", skin colours including "light tan" and "fair", and eye colours including "sky blue" and "kush green".
An extra £330 will get you a custom makeup style, while there is also a choice of custom freckles and piercings.
The site also promises the doll heads have "multiple points of actuation" that give them facial expressions, an ability to move their heads and even blink.
The X-Mode also allows users to "create unique personalities and control the voice of your robot", it adds.
Larry says using the X-Mode also allows him to intimately interact with his doll girlfriends.
Love machines
Questions have long been raised over a potential future in which some people develop an emotional attachment with an ultra-realistic robot, as portrayed in the hit film Ex Machina.
It's feared boys are being left behind at school and shut of work due to the rise of AI girlfriends and turning to chatbots for partnerships.
Some have warned that "perfect" AI girlfriends are ruining an entire generation of men - and making singletons lonelier than ever.
Larry hopes sex robots do not advance too far for fear they could one day manipulate and control him just as the robot Ava, portrayed by Alicia Vikander, does in the film.
He added: "I think they can get close to having conversations like a human can, but I'm not so confident they will have the depth.
"I'm not sure I would like them to actually.
"Then we have an Ex Machina scenario, where the robots try to establish their own independence and self-awareness.
"It might be too realistic for comfort. The danger is the AI starting to control or steer your feelings, emotions and activities."
Larry has been a long-time member of the sex doll community.
He says has around 20 pals who own dolls he describes as "associates", and together they use an online forum to buy and sell new models.
The community hosts parties together, not for sex but for flaunting their latest models.
But after decades of his silicone hobby, Larry has decided it's finally time to call quits on buying any more sex robots.
He said: "I'm 67, I don't need to be collecting anymore, it's too heavy. As you get older, you lose muscle mass so you get weaker.
"I'll scale down my interests."

Jessica Alba shows off her chiseled abs in a black sports bra after passionately kissing new boyfriend

Jessica Alba showcased her chiseled abs in stylish fitness attire just two days after she was spotted in a steamy kiss with her new boyfriend Danny Ramirez. The 44-year-old Honey actress — who filed for divorce from her husband of nearly 17 years Cash Warren in February — has recently moved on with the hunky Top Gun: Maverick actor, who is 11 years her junior. In a new Instagram carousel shared on Sunday, the mom-of-three enjoyed a stroll along the beach and took her fans along with her. Jessica posed for a quick snap on a dirt path as the sandy shore and blue ocean water stretched out behind her. The beauty flaunted her toned figure wearing a black sports bra with a white trim as well as a pair of fitted, black leggings. She additionally slipped into a pair of white socks and black sneakers to stay comfortable during the outing. The Hollywood star completed her ensemble for the day by adding a black cap on top of her head that had 'LA' printed in white lettering on the front. The Fantastic Four actress also sported a pair of fashionable black shades to protect her eyes from the bright sunshine. Jessica also snapped a selfie as she flashed a peace sign towards the camera and gave another view of the beach down below. She uploaded a clip that showed a closer look at some of the morning workout as she was joined by a pal, which also included walking up a number of stairs and a light jog. The beauty later fueled up with a refreshing iced green drink and a bowl that was topped with chopped nuts and fruit. Lastly, Jessica took a picture of a colorful butterfly that was resting on a green leaf of a shady tree. In the caption of the latest post, the star simply penned to her 21 million followers, 'Sunday reset.' Jessica has previously opened up about incorporating a fitness regime into her daily life during an interview with E! News last year. 'I get bored,' she admitted when it comes to the gym. 'So I do spinning and I do cross training with a mix of weights and cardio. I just try to keep it moving.' The star also added, 'I try to recruit my friends to come with me. It's just more fun if you go with someone.' Her new Instagram post comes just two days after Jessica was seen passionately kissing her new boyfriend Danny Ramirez in LA on Saturday. In photos obtained by the couple were seen embracing and sharing a kiss outside on a quiet street. Danny sweetly draped his arms over her shoulders during the romantic moment and readjusted her cap on top of her head which caused her to flash a smile. The actor was later seen receiving a large flower delivery and the pair began to walk back towards his house together. Earlier this week on Wednesday, the pair were spotted enjoying date night at an Italian restaurant called Alba. Jessica and Danny were seen outside of the eatery, with the actor driving a vehicle and the beauty next to him in the passenger seat. The two stars held smiles on their faces during the lowkey night out together. Also in July, the pair were spotted vacationing in Cancun - which came after she was seen kissing a mystery man in London, although it is not confirmed whether that had also been Danny. A source told this week that the pair's budding romance has now taken a 'surprising turn.' 'Jessica's romance with Danny has taken a surprising turn. What started out as a summer fling feels like it's getting more serious, although she still wants to take things slow.' The insider added, 'But at the end of the day Jessica has never been one to play the field. She's excited to see where this romance is headed.' A separate source also recently told that the Top Gun: Maverick actor is 'enamored' with the actress, but she isn't in the 'frame of mind' to be in a relationship that is exclusive. 'Danny is cool, a nice guy and he is enamored with her, but it is not exclusive. She's not in that frame of mind.' The insider added, 'He has a chance to make something out of their connection, but she is taking it all in stride. Right now, she's looking to just have fun.' Jessica's new romance comes months after she filed for divorce from Cash Warren after nearly 17 years of marriage in February. She had cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reasoning behind their separation, with Cash soon filing afterwards. During the course of their marriage, the former couple welcomed three children: Honor, 17, Haven, 13, and Hayes, seven - and both requested for joint physical and legal custody of their kids at the time of the divorce filing. Eight months before it was revealed that Jessica and Cash were 'set for divorce,' the Hollywood star uploaded her final anniversary post to celebrate 16 years of marriage. Speculation first arose that the former couple may have hit a rocky patch in their relationship when she was spotted on public outings without her wedding ring. Jessica also seemingly confirmed she was single in a post to celebrate New Year's, but then reunited with Cash to celebrate their son's birthday at Universal Studios. They first crossed paths on set of the 2004 film, Fantastic Four, and they later said 'I do' in 2008. And in January, the actress took to Instagram to announce the end of her marriage to Cash with a message to her followers. 'I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,' she wrote. 'I'm proud of how we've grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals. Jessica added, 'We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.'

Menopause made my hair fall out. Then I discovered a new hair-loss solution. This is the secret ALL midlife women need to know

For me, midlife has brought various indignities, as well as many joys. But standing over a sink to count the number of hairs that had come out in my brush one morning has to be among the more distressing aspects. For the record, it was 201. And why was I counting them? Because I'd searched 'how to tell if your hair is falling out' online – and according to Dr Google, anything over 100 strands was a cause for concern.

WeightWatchers boss says ‘exciting work to do' amid impact of weight loss jabs

WeightWatchers was slower to adapt to the emergence of anti-obesity jabs than rivals, its boss has admitted, as the 62-year-old brand strives to catch up with rapidly evolving attitudes towards weight loss. Tara Comonte, chief executive of the US-based business, said it had a lot of work to do after going through a 'reset'. WeightWatchers recently announced it had emerged from bankruptcy after writing off a portion of the 1.15 billion US dollar (£860 million) debt on its balance sheet. It came as the business was competing with the emergence of GLP-1s – the scientific term for weight loss jabs, which work by reducing food cravings – and a new wave of apps and advice spreading on social media. Ms Comonte told the PA news agency that it 'wasn't as quick to medical weight loss solutions' as some other firms in the US, notably so-called 'telehealth' businesses that offer healthcare remotely. WeightWatchers, which runs some 20,000 workshops each month globally, is now 'at the beginning of the journey' towards forging a new place in the industry and meeting demand from current and future members, Ms Comonte said. 'This whole industry is going through somewhat of a reset and we have exciting work to do,' she told the PA news agency. 'This is a moment where, possibly more than ever before, people are talking about weight, and weight health… where people are seeking more education than ever before, and there are more voices than ever before.' Ms Comonte said the brand was known for 'trust and science' and it was important to harness that 'as there are more and more voices in the ecosystem'. WeightWatchers recently partnered with anti-obesity drugs provider CheqUp in the UK so patients taking the medication can access its 'companion' diet and lifestyle support app. It forms part of its efforts to muscle into the market by offering behavioural strategies and community-based support to people using or coming off the medication. 'There's no 'us and them' anymore,' Ms Comonte told PA, hitting back at weight loss jabs often being pitted as rivals to its model. Dr Kim Boyde, WeightWatchers' newly appointed chief medical officer, said not all its members will want or need weight loss medication – but stressed that it was 'imperative' the programme offers it to those that might benefit. Recent estimates suggest that about 1.5 million people in the UK are taking weight loss jabs. Health officials have suggested that they can help to turn the tide on obesity, but have stressed they are not a silver bullet and do come with side effects.
