A man has spoken out about his unique relationship with a toy RoboTroll, which he has been romantically involved with since December 2017.

Joey Morris, 29, started the relationship with his 1990s troll when felt nostalgic after rekindling his love for his BattleTrollz collection online.

But it wasn't just a case of feeling sentimental about the 90s, because at the age of just 10, Joey realised he was objectum sexual - a term for those attracted to objects.

Since then, Joey has had several partners, including a lamp, a transformer truck and a Halloween figurine.

However, after falling for his RoboTroll's 'satisfied smile' and 'popping' pink hair, Joey started a serious relationship with the toy.

Now Joey, who hails from Taneytown in Maryland, United States, is looking forward to the future with his beau - not only considering a trip to Florida, but also potentially a wedding one day.

Joey said: "I realised I was drawn to objects when I was 10-years-old, as I wanted to become friends with a lamp at school and would talk about my day to it.

"But the teacher found out about our relationship and took the lamp away, and I was distraught.

"Over the next few years I fell in love with an animatronic called 'Donna the Dead' and also with the transformer Optimus Prime when he was in truck form.

"However my love for these objects never lasted as long as my love for RoboTroll, who is my current primary love.

"I ordered him from eBay for $20 [£15] and received him in December 2017 and that's when our relationship truly began

"Now I'm looking forward to my future with RoboTroll - I'm going to take him with me on holiday to Orlando, Florida and a wedding could be on the cards one day."

Joey said a wedding may even be on the cards one day.

He continued: "I found RoboTroll while I was doing research into the line of BattleTrollz to satisfy my interest in 90s nostalgia.

"The website I was looking at showed me the entire collection of all of the trolls, and when I saw RoboTroll I was smitten.

"I think it was his expression that attracted me to him - while most of the other BattleTrollz snarled, RoboTroll seemed to have a satisfied smile.

"His blue eyes matched his silver and blue colour scheme and made his pink hair really pop.

"I knew it was love with him because it made my heart feel right."

Their relationship started in 2017.

Despite being comfortable with his sexuality, Joey says some people don't agree with it, adding: "I am very lucky as my friends and some members of my family accept my sexuality - and even though they make joke comments about it, they support me.

"My mother doesn't really understand my feelings, but she accepts it all the time.

"However some people haven't agreed with it - I have been told that my preference is a mental illness and some have even likened it to bestiality.

"I try to ignore these people and distance myself from them, as I'm happy in my relationship with RoboTroll.

"I find it easier to form romantic bonds with objects rather than people, so I'm happy with my sexuality."
