Meet the man who makes love to cars

Edward Smith, a 63-year-old man
told a television audience earlier
this week that he has made love to
over 700 cars in his lifetime. The
revelation which sounds really
bizarre got the entire airwaves
buzzing, with many describing him
as a ‘lunatic’. However, Smith
disclosed that he has since settled
down with the ‘love of his life’ – a
Volkswagen Beetle he calls
Vanilla.
While ITV’s presenters, Phillip
Schofield and Amanda Holden tried
to ask probing questions about the
details of his sexual history with
four wheeled machines, Smith
rolled out more of his
unimpressive resume. He claimed
to have slept with Jaguars,
Mustangs, had threesomes in car
parks and car showrooms, and has
even had brief flings with
helicopters and planes.
According to odditycentral.com ,
Smith began to look at car
magazines in the same way some
men devoured pornography even
as a teenager. He said he lost his
virginity to a neighbour’s
Volkswagen Beetle at age 14.
“I got tempted one night to step
outside to gently caress the car. It
did something for me, woke
something up inside of me,” he
said.
Once this desire had been
awakened, he began to seek out
cars that he was attracted to.
When asked how he makes love to
a car, he clarified that he is not
attracted to any kind of
penetration.
“It’s hugging and holding the
shape of the car close to me and
talking to it a little bit. The rest is
just physical satisfaction. I
basically just unzip, I’ve never got
naked on a car – in public,” he
said.
The 63-year-old did have
girlfriends in secondary school and
university, and one who he met as
an adult living in San Francisco in
1971, although he was never able
to consummate the relationship.
“It was not a thoroughly satisfying
experience. I never got so involved
like my brothers did and spent the
night with them,” he said.
But today, his white Volkswagen
Vanilla is his girlfriend and the
love of his life.
“She certainly has become special.
I got her in 1982 so it will be 30
years on December 23rd. I met her
when I was involved in a
relationship with another
Volkswagen Beetle called Victoria.
“Sometimes I say to myself that
Edward, in your heart and soul you
know that these are cars but when
I hold them in my arms I do feel
an energy that comes from each
one of them. But Vanilla is special.
She is my baby. Beyond that,
there’s a very deep love that I
wouldn’t want anything to
separate us after 32 years,” he
said.
While he allows mechanics to fix
cars, he has a strict rule: he is the
only one allowed to wash them.
“I prefer to do that myself. It’s like
giving her a bath. I talk to her,
play music, suds her all up.”
