The man told a Leeds Crown Court jury he ordered the adult sex magazine Pabo because the woman "was wanting something bigger".

He said "I found out you could get these magazines and got one delivered. I had a look through it and she saw a penis extension in there that she thought would be good and she sent off for it and had it delivered to her house."

The court has heard the woman fell in love with the convicted rapist serving life at a Wakefield jail who allegedly attacked her at knife point after she ended their relationship. She visited him regularly at prisons across the UK and when he was released on licence he spent weekends at her home and they became engaged.

The man told the court he had met the woman at a seminar at Wakefield prison and that he was a regular churchgoer.

Prosecutor Sean Morris said: "This was a happy coincidence then that she was a devout Christian?"

The man replied: "Yes, I suppose it was."

Mr Morris asked him: "When you got outside there was friction over money and sex?"

"There had been."

Mr Morris asked: "Do you accept that you were somewhat obsessed about sex."

He answered: "No, I don't."

Mr Morris asked him about the sex magazine that was delivered once a month to the house. The man said in response that it was not a sex magazine, it was a Ann Summers style magazine called Pabo.

Mr Morris asked: "Were you wanting sex more often than you were getting."

He answered: "No."

The man added: "The problem was that sometimes when I got back there at the weekend, by the time I got in from work she had already been drinking from about 4.30 in the afternoon and she was already drunk and she would say it would take her too long to reach an orgasm."

Mr Morris said: "So you weren't getting it then?"

The defendant answered: "Yes, I was getting it, it wasn't about the quantity it was more about the quality."

The man said he was helping the woman do some work at his home and felt like a "glorified workman". He continued: "She said well you have had some sex haven't you and I said I had only... I felt like she was bonking the hired help. When she has had a drink she turns into a totally different person, she becomes very sexually orientated. She was saying to me she had never had a proper sex life and she was looking forward to having one."

The man denied he had ever prayed to the devil and said he was a Catholic.

The woman had previously told the Leeds Crown Court jury her fiancee would go "absolutely crazy" when he could only have sex with her two or three times a week and she told of her terror when he allegedly attacked her with a carving knife at her home after she said they were finished. But the defendant claimed he had finished the relationship and said he pulled the knife and wasn't wanting to frighten her but was intending to kill himself. But the man who stabbed himself in the stomach twice only intended to kill himself.

A female friend of the alleged victim called her one New Year's Even to wish her happy new year the witness told the court: "As the conversation progressed it was obvious the reason she was upset involved my husband."

Robin Frieze for the defendant asked the witness: "Was she suggesting she and your husband had had sex together."

The witness replied: "That seemed to be the inference, yes. When she had been drinking she had not been able to remember what had happened."
The witness told the court the woman would ring her up and say she was concerned she didn't know what had happened during certain periods when she had been drinking.

Mr Frieze asked the witness: "Did she on any of those occasions tell you she thought the sex had been non consensual or that she had been raped."

The witness answered: "There was only one time I remember but that was the one occasion she used the word that she had been worried she had been raped."

The man denies affray and committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence.
