When Joi AI posted a recruitment ad for masturbation consultants, head of brand Julie Levin anticipated a few hundred resumes. Within two weeks the posting generated ↑ 120,000 applications, overwhelming the original form and forcing a switch to a Google Sheet.

Demand for Masturbation Consultants Soars

The role tasks hired individuals with using the company’s Daily Guided Masturbation feature, logging impacts on stress, sleep and mood, and receiving ↑ $2,000 per month.

“It started as a joke, then went viral,” Levin told Reuters.

Joi AI aims to select ten participants representing a spectrum of genders, ages and sexual orientations; the oldest applicant will be considered. So far, most submissions are from men in their twenties, though thousands of women have also applied.

Among the flood are stand‑up comedians, sommeliers praised for descriptive skill, and seasoned sex‑workers who have spent years in phone intimacy. The buzz has driven the company’s X account past 23.8 million impressions, turning the platform into its primary revenue source.

AI Companion Market on a Rocket Trajectory

Industry analysts at Bloomberg value the global AI companion sector at roughly $36.79 billion in 2023, projecting it to exceed $317 billion by 2033.

With 70 staff worldwide, Joi AI reports over one million monthly interactions, fueled by a recent rebrand that introduced higher‑fidelity chats and more than 300 licensed adult‑entertainment AI twins.

Levin stresses that the selection process will remain transparent, with no preferential treatment for insiders, even as friends and family inquire about eligibility.
