Murray, from Queensland in Australia, purchased the 6ft doll and named her Noni years ago.
She's made of plastic, and of course cannot talk - but that doesn't stop Murray from feeling that he has a profound relationship with the doll.
Speaking to ABC, he said: "If one had a complete choice you would rather have a real woman but that's not always available to people.
"Loneliness was encroaching quite significantly and I thought well this maybe is a way out."
He first purchased a doll in 2008, but has now settled down with Noni as his one-and-only.
And he feels the doll helps him tackle loneliness, as well as enjoying a physical relationship with it.
"If I come home from shopping," he said, "she's here, in the house. Thank God the house isn't empty."
He added: "It doesn't even feel silent. You talk to them. You are talking through your issues, your life, your highs, your lows, your joys, your sadnesses. Whatever. It just helps."
