With their long glossy hair, heavy make-up and perfect skin, at first glance you would think these were real life glamourous women. But look a little closer and their vacant stares give away the fact that they are in fact astonishingly realistic silicone love dolls, which sell for upwards of £1,000 - N250,000.
According to DailyMail who just published the photos, the images were captured on camera byCopenhagen-based photojournalist Benita Marcussen, who approached the men via online forums - one of the only places where many of them can be open about their dolls - and spent nearly a year gaining their trust before photographing them for her series Men & Dolls.
These men enjoy long-term relationships with the dolls. For some of them the life-sized dolls are their sole companion, others are married with children, and in a few cases the dolls have filled the space left by lost loved ones for their owners following death or divorce.
