How would you feel if your husband was searching for blow up dolls? Laugh or cry?

Both. How utterly awful. Is he for real?

TFImBackIn · 31/08/2026 15:53

Both here, too. I'd be doing both as I packed his bags.

There is nothing funny about it OP.

If he's looking for a blow up girlfriend, I suspect he'll end up letting her down.

Interesting first post, OP.

How much is he thinking of spending OP?

Could be quite a bit due to inflation 😏

This is a thread that could blow up quickly.

We've both had difficult health problems over several years and haven't had sex for four years, but I'm still shocked as when we were both well trying to get him interested in sex was quite difficult. Maybe this long without it has effected him. He suffered from ED so things were disappointing a lot of the time and I suspect like a lot of men that he's been watching porn behind my back. At least it's not someone real I guess 🙄

If they are like the ones in Only Fools and Horses, I’d probably laugh.

But, to be serious, and from experience, health can throw up all sorts of sexual issues, mental and physical - this needs a lot of talking.

I'd find the Only Fools and Horses episode with the blow up dolls that explode and watch it together.

It'll be a good laugh, l suppose at least.
