A man enjoying a relationship with his sex doll girlfriend as well as his wife of 36 years has confessed he wouldn’t know what to do if he had to choose between them.
James, 58, bought 5ft blonde robot April – who he now has sex with four times a week – for £2,000 when his wife Tine began caring for her sick mother.
He explains in an upcoming Channel 4 documentary, The Sex Robots are Coming, how he shares a bed with April and takes her out on dinner dates, and claims people often don’t even notice she isn’t a living, breathing woman.
And the engineer’s sexual relationship with the doll has his wife’s blessing, according to the Daily Star.

Although Tine has admitted she found it difficult at first to come to terms with her husband’s sex doll obsession, she has adapted, and said she was glad he hadn’t cheated with another real woman.
‘If he really wanted to he could have gone out and found someone else, but he didn’t do that, he was true to me,’ Tine said.
James and April’s relationship features in the new Channel 4 show, which follows a manufacturer’s attempt to create one of the world’s first fully functioning sex robots – a doll that looks, moves and talks in a more lifelike fashion than any that has gone before.
And James already has his eye on an £8,000 robot named Harmony.
The robot, which is due to arrive on the market in the next few months, has been developed by engineer Matt McMullen of The Real Doll Company in California.

Of his existing companion, James explains in the programme that he ‘feels deeply’ for April, and insists she is ‘more than just a sex toy’.
He believes that the pleasure of their relationship lies in taking care of the doll – being able to dress it, put on make up and interact with it – but also bending it into whatever position he desires.
‘It’s amazingly like having sex with a real woman,’ he explained.
‘The biggest difference is whatever position you want them in you have to put them in, as they will not get there on their own.’
The Sex Robots Are Coming will air on Channel 4 at 10pm, Thursday 30 November
