doll husband
n.—Gloss: a man with a social or emotional attachment to a life-sized, realistic female doll. «The new movie “Lars and the Real Girl” is pulling back the curtain on an unusual world where people find companionship in the arms of eerily lifelike silicone dolls.…The dolls are so realistic, light years beyond the cartoonish vinyl blow-ups of gag-gift fame, that some owners treat them as spouses—even to the point of calling themselves “doll husbands.”» —“People find a lot of love in their Realdolls” by John Wilkens San Diego Union-Tribune (California) Oct. 28, 2007.
