In a move that is turning heads in the tech and wellness worlds, an AI companion company says it has evidence that bot-guided self-pleasure can relieve stress, improve concentration, and reduce cravings. To gather that evidence, it paid ten participants $2,000 a month to act as Masturbation Consultants and interact with erotic AI scripts, then measured how they felt before and after the sessions.
Headline and key facts at a glance
Here are the main takeaways from the report:
- Ten individuals selected from more than 150,000 applicants were paid $2,000 per month.
- AI-guided self-pleasure scored 7.22 out of 10 for satisfaction.
- Toys scored 7.6, porn 7.31, and fantasy 7.27.
- The company claims 37% of adults are open to AI-guided masturbation or already practice it.
- Stress levels allegedly dropped by 25% after the sessions.
- Focus reportedly rose by 17%, and mental restlessness fell by 19%.
- Participants reported a 44% reduction in cravings for nicotine, alcohol, junk food, and doomscrolling.
A new kind of wellness experiment
The company behind the project is Joi AI, which describes itself as a provider of AI companions for love, sex, and romance. It presented the recent experiment as an effort to understand whether self-pleasure can become an AI-guided wellness ritual. The study did not appear to be a peer-reviewed academic trial, and the company has not shared raw data or independent verification. Still, the results fit a long-running pattern of tech companies using provocative marketing to push new AI products.
People have long used imagination, adult content, and physical toys to explore arousal and release. The company's study was built around the idea that an erotic chatbot can play a similar role, offering a guided experience that is tailored to a user's mood, fantasy, or emotional need. The participants were asked to interact with AI companions during intimate sessions and then rate their satisfaction and mental state.
What the numbers actually say
According to the company, the average satisfaction score for AI-guided sessions was 7.22 out of 10. That is lower than toys (7.6), porn (7.31), and fantasy (7.27), but close enough that the company argues AI is genuinely competitive. The differences are small, and all four activities sit in a similar range, implying that the psychological and physical release may be comparable regardless of the tool involved.
The bigger claims involve mood and cognition. The company says stress levels declined by 25%, focus improved by 17%, and mental restlessness dropped by 19% after the sessions. It also says participants felt a 44% reduction in cravings for vices like nicotine, alcohol, junk food, and doomscrolling. Those numbers, if independently confirmed, would be striking. But no peer-reviewed evidence appears to support the idea that orgasm alone suppresses addictive cravings at such a dramatic scale.
There is no doubt that
