Silicone Sally: Japan men find true love with sex dolls

In this picture taken on May 9, 2017, a man takes pictures of physiotherapist Masayuki Ozaki and his silicone sex doll Mayu in Tokyo Bay. Around 2,000 of the life-like dolls -- which cost around 6,000 USD and come with adjustable fingers, removable head and life-like genitals -- are sold each year in Japan, according to industry insiders. / AFP PHOTO

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.
