MEET A YOUNG MAN WHO DATED A ‘COCKROACH’ FOR A YEAR – SAYS SHE WILL FOREVER LIVE IN HIM.

Heartbreaks have really done a number on many people to the extent they have resorted to dating non-human things. There have been many bizarre stories of people getting married to ghosts and trees but it appears this one takes the cake.

A love life of a Japanese man identified as Yuta Shinohara has left many people in shock and some slightly disgusted. The young man dated a cockroach for a whole year before it reportedly died of natural causes.

                   

According to Shinohara who bought the cockroach from an unnamed African country, the cockroach was ‘the one‘ for him and he wanted her to ‘live forever’ within him. He revealed that he ate the cockroach after she died so she will forever live in him.

The nature lover who spoke on Asian YouTube channel Asian Boss went on to describe how he managed an intimate relationship with the roach which he named Lisa Chan.

                   

According to him, they did not have physically intercourse citing the distinct size difference as a major factor. He, however, revealed that he had intercourse with her in his imagination by imagining she was super sized and he became small.

When asked how he communicated with cockroach Lisa, he said: “It could’ve been my imagination, since I got too attached over time, that I started to feel as if we were communicating. We were 100% serious. No human girl was as attractive as Lisa. Lisa was my first love, I pictured doing it with her many times because I really liked her.

I know it’s impossible but I imagined a world where cockroaches become super sized or I become small.” 

The insect lover is known in Japan and has made a name for himself serving insect cuisine. He has organised events serving bug cocktails, insect pastries and ramen with crickets and mealworms.

Speaking on her death, he had this to say: “The day she passed away was difficult but I knew it had to come since she was a cockroach with a short life span. With that in mind, I ate her in reverence. So now, Lisa lives in my heart and continues living as part of my body.”
