👋HEY ALL!

Welcome back to your weekly download from the frontlines of the future of sex, power, and pleasure.

This week’s roundup: Gen Z loneliness (and how dating apps are bringing IRL back - but also using AI wingmen?), the surge of wellness vending machines on campus, a luxe menopause retreat in Miami, and the data that’s turning heads in Singapore’s sexual wellness landscape.

Did I mention I may be building a BryBot? Anyone else trying to create an AI version of themselves?

More to come on that soon... and our next episode of the Future of Sex podcast focused on dating in 2025. If you have a story to tell using the apps, AI or any technology to help you find love, hit reply and let me know about it :)

Plus the usual: 💼 30+ job openings and global events you won’t want to miss.

Let’s dive into what’s shifting culture this week—
