WTF: This man has had sex with over 700 cars

It’s one thing to be fond of your car. It’s another thing to be so attached to it that you actually – wait for it – want to be intimate with it.

In this man’s case, however, he loves cars so much that he actually takes his passion to the next level, and – no we promise we’re not making this up – has sex with them.

Edward Smith revealed his unusual tastes on This Morning on Tuesday, telling Philip Schofield and Amanda Holden that he has done the deed with over 700 cars during his life.

And as the pair struggled to keep a straight face, he admitted his interest in cars began as a child, leading to him ‘losing his virginity’ to a Volkswagen Beetle when he was a teenager.

‘I got tempted one night to just step outside and gently caress a car,’ he admitted, ‘and it did something for me, it woke something up inside me.’

He explained, ‘It has to do with the body itself, I have not really been attracted to any kind of penetration.’

Well phew, that’s a relief. So how does one ‘have sex’ with a car exactly? Edward explained that for him it involves ‘hugging and holding the shape of the car close to me and actually talking to it a little bit. And of course the rest is physical satisfaction.’

Edward went on to reveal that his current flame is a white Volkswagen Beetle called Vanilla who has been with him since 1982 (although he also enjoys a ‘close relationship’ with trucks called Ginger and Cinnamon), and that she holds a special place in his heart.

‘Lately at my age the libidinal energies have calmed, but beyond that there’s a very deep love and I wouldn’t want anything to separate us,’ he said.

And he admitted that his interest didn’t just begin and end with Volkswagens, having also had an intimate encounter with a helicopter (er…..) as well as an entire row of cars in a car park (*pushes dinner aside*)

Amazingly, he has also had actual human girlfriends in the past – but said that they just didn’t compare to his four-wheeled friends.

‘Around 1971-72 I had a relationship with a woman but it was not a thoroughly satisfying experience,’ he recalled. ‘I had girlfriends in high school and in college but I never got as involved as my brothers did.

‘I realise my cars are cars – but when I hold them in my arms I do feel an energy that comes from each one of them and then it kind of depends what mood I’m in.’
