Last year, a bodybuilder married a sex doll and now claims to be madly in love with an ashtray, which he hopes to give an artificial vagina to.

Yuri Tolochko claims to have moved on from his heartbreaking breakup with Margo the doll and is starting a new life.

After marrying a doll in a ceremony attended by dozens of guests in November 2020, the 36-year-old from Kazakhstan made international headlines.

However, the pair has called it quits, and Yuri has found a new love interest.

The ashtray in a club recently captivated the Kazakh muscleman, and he now wishes to equip it so they may get closer.

“At first, I just arranged a photoshoot with it,” he wrote on Instagram. But then it started to appeal to me.

“I wanted to touch it and smell it once more. I adore its abrasive fragrance and the feel of metal against my skin. It's quite harsh.

“I also like that it has a backstory, that it isn't brand new, and that it has served and continues to serve many people.”

Yuri is a pansexual who can fall in love with "a character, an image, a soul, just a person" as he describes it.

“I liked it — the smell of it, the touch of metal on my skin,” he said about his new romance. It's incredible.

"I like the touch of sharp metal on my skin, it excites me so I think you can understand what attracts me to this ashtray."

He said, "I have a special passion for objects; they have always been alive for me."

“This isn't the same as being a person; these are entirely different emotions. This is similar to how a violinist might like his 300-year-old violin.”

However, if Yuri wishes to proceed with the ashtray in the future, he may need to seek legal counsel.

His marriage to Margo is officially over, according to local media reports.

The only conditions for a wedding in Kazakhstan are that both consenting parties be male and female and be over the age of 18.

A sign of their breakup could have appeared months before they married.

Yuri made the decision to have Margo undergo plastic surgery.

He mentioned this before the wedding: "She's gone through a lot of transformations. It was difficult for me to accept at first, but I eventually grew used to it.

"It took place in a real clinic staffed by actual doctors.

"When I presented her photo to the world, there was a lot of criticism and she began to develop a complex so we decided to have surgery."
