👋HEY ALL!

Typing this from Sydney where I had the pleasure of moderating a panel on dating at the Sunrise conference.

Wow, what a week. So many brilliant humans, big convos, and a room full of fresh thinking.

Honestly, I’m still riding the high and trying to remember everyone I met (and everything I said 😅), so I’m keeping things breezy this week.

Let the headlines, jobs, and events do the talking 👇

Let’s get into it.

🔥 Selling Sex to Gen Z: Beauty Brands Adapt

A new generation of consumers that craves playfulness, inclusivity beyond gender binaries and a sense of emotional nuance is rejecting the corporate polish, female empowerment lingo and ‘MoMa-esque’ toy designs that defined pandemic-era sexual wellness brands.

🔍 New study on gen AI and adult entertainment

Read the report below, and summary in Psy Post here.

💋 China's sextech surge

At the 2025 Shanghai Adult Expo, more than 400 global exhibitors unveiled a new era of pleasure: hugging robots, whispering dolls, and biometric toys that respond to emotion and touch.

With AI integration and real-time data feedback, China's booming sex tech market is pushing the boundaries of intimacy—turning pleasure into personalized, high-tech wellness.
