The AI companion startup is hiring 10 “masturbation consultants” to test a feature called Daily Guided Masturbation, which uses mood-matched AI voice sessions to guide users through the experience. Participants would document how regular use affects stress, sleep quality, mood, and confidence. The four-week role is open to adults 18 and older in the U.S. and the U.K…
Joi AI is focused on making AI companionship more immersive, personalized, and emotionally responsive," Levin said. “We’re innovating features like Daily Guided Masturbation to make AI a more intuitive part of people’s everyday wellness routines, not just a novelty experience.”

It saddens me to say this, but I don’t believe this path will teach us how to preserve our humanity, or to support a human to learn to become a lovable, empathetic, experienced human.
Yes, I do realize that this has been around for a long time, including the scene from film “The 6th Day” of ~2000 with the apartment “virtual girlfriend” I recall even.
And it feels like I get for where this is coming from, and how lone or ill people (e.g. film Shame) may find it relevant, but… I’m deeply saddened because I don’t see it helping us nurture our truest, most human selves… and personally, I see it a degradation of a humanity, since I believe in people should focus on love between actual people, search for a true love…
We can do better…
It does not seem like this kind of technology will support a person to have a healthy and long-term happy life…
I’m holding out heartfelt deep hope that us people can discover a better way… to not invest technologies to distant all of us even further with every such invention… but instead to ease the search for partners… or for our true… infinitely magnificent Soulmates instead… since isn’t it the purpose… to finally find a miracle… to be a miracle for them, too… and both create a universe…

I don’t think this is what the mods had in mind when naming this community.
I can totally see how this is a harder job that it sounds, because I guarantee you there’s no way I could stay hard with a fucking AI talking to me at the same time.
(in AI voice) You are an excellent masturbator! I have analyzed your music taste and will play some lively music to get you in the mood. There is no challenge we cannot conquer together!
*AI generated Touhou trap mix starts playing*
You’re exactly right! I haven’t actually cum yet.
Let’s dig in and figure out how to resolve this issue.
Grepping…
So you like traps, eh?
You’re absolutely right, dummy thicc big titty bukkake hentai is an excellent choice for this evening’s epic pleasure quest!
Keep going I’m almost there…
I agree.
This is an ad.
Edit: not your post, but the the whole story. A publicity stunt.
Well, an AI masturbation coach was definitely not on my 2026 bingo card.
At this rate, it prolly should have been 🤔🤯🙃
I thought this already existed. Its just JOI.
I can’t believe I’ve been doing it for free, like a chump!
If you’re good at something, don’t do it for free!

All the money I’ve let slip through my fingers…
ewwww hahaha
Were melting glaciers for this
“Hey mom, guess what… I finally found a job!”
Eww, like keep AI out of my personal play time…It’s nasty how these corporations are so desperate to extract value out of people using a cursed tool that will be their doom (at least I hope it will be). I would rather not be paid to listen to a cursed LLM guiding my masturbation, my inner voice is far better at it than a thoughtless, souless techbro creation.
If you really think about it, how is this different from what all the AI startups are going?
Money to burn
Poppin out turds
Slinging shit to the suckers.
Everybodys working
But nothing is getting done.
Its a

You can start an OnlyFans for $10/month and get more than 200 subscribers if your are smart doing the same thing.
Yeah, there are relevant skills with mindfulness and describing sensations, which is largely similar to dirty talk.
The description reads like some post nut clarity porn comment. I get it but still
Even the most disease-riddled backwoods trailer park brothel is still a healthier way obtain companionship .
Um… might depend on the disease though.
That whole notion of “soul mates” is intensely toxic in my opinion. You don’t need it to look at AI jack/jill-off machines with sidelong glances and edging away.
