A man sexually attracted to balloons has more than 50,000 of them in his house.
Balloons
The man, named only as Julius, sleeps in a room designated as the "balloon sanctuary" at his home and admits that his connection with balloons is both sexual and emotional.
Julius said: "When I see a beautiful balloon, my heart starts to flutter and I get aroused. I'll take a 12 inch and I'll inflate it to 12 inches. That way it can take a lot of abuse. I'm holding one, you know hugging it, I'll kiss it, and it's like being in heaven."
Julius – whose passion for balloons featured on the TV show 'My Strange Addiction' – has been obsessed with the objects since he was a child and admits that his wife understands his strange arousals.
He said: "She thinks it's strange, but she accepts it."
