EP 711: Morgan Hewett – How Women Are Redefining Intimacy and Dating Standards

Highlights from this episode

What is Devin?

  • Morgan Hewitt, Harvard MBA, is the founder of Devin (AI-powered vibrator + interactive erotic audio).
  • Devin: device with sensors for adaptive vibration + customizable interactive audio voice/fantasy.
  • Target users span ages 30–65; many presale signups from women 40–65.
  • Use cases include solo pleasure, partner-enhancement, and therapeutic support for trauma survivors.

Dating trends & why women opt out of dating

  • Increasing numbers of women single by choice; many report equal or greater life satisfaction when single.
  • Economic independence raises expectations: women now prioritize emotional availability, not just financial stability.
  • Generational shift: younger men (Gen Z) show more emotional intelligence; older cohorts may lag.
  • Toxic relationship patterns and trauma lead some women to delay or avoid dating.

AI, privacy, and ethical concerns

  • Privacy caution: large AI platforms may use conversational data for ads; Devin emphasizes limited/no collection of PII and safe onboarding (use of fantasy identities).
  • Ethical concern: AI replacing human creators/artists and full replacement of human relationships is troubling.
  • Devin positions AI as augmentation (self-exploration, rehabilitation, sexual literacy), not replacement for human intimacy.

Practical takeaways for dating & sexual health

  • Self-knowledge and self-pleasure improve communication and relationship satisfaction.
  • Tools like Devin can help people experiment safely, build sexual literacy, and practice intimacy (including for PTSD recovery).
  • Dating advice: be authentic, set boundaries, cultivate self-attraction before seeking validation from others.
