(Los Angeles, CA / November 7, 2024) – James Guo, founder of Our Erotic Journey/OEJ Novelty, takes center stage in a new in-depth interview in WIRED Magazine, entitled “The toymaker who wants to be the next Willy Wonka of Sex Tech”.
In the feature, Guo shares insights on his unique approach to cutting-edge technology, including OEJ’s inventive product line, quality standards, and the quirky yet intentional designs that have made his brand an industry standout since its launch in 2019.
Amid a wave of AI and robotics trends, Guo’s philosophy remains refreshingly simple: create quality toys that make human connection a priority. “We want to be more of a bridge from people to people,” Guo explains in the article, “not just from toys to people.”
Guo’s latest launch, the True sensation app-controlled dildo, shows this vision. With three vibration frequencies, seven thrust speeds, and self-heating up to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, the product promises to bring fantasies to life, along with a playful app feature that syncs vibrations to music. “It connects with someone far away,” says Guo, noting the intimacy potential of his creations.
OEJ’s playful offering goes beyond conventional designs, with collections like the Thrillz, Lit and Cristal lines featuring everything from glass toys to glow-in-the-dark accessories. As Guo says in the interview, “Those are for the ravers,” which hints at the brand’s whimsical spirit, he adds that next year OEJ plans to introduce a Zodiac-themed collection, which calls on the astrological interests of Generation Z, with toys adapted for each sign. .
Drawing on his family’s experience in manufacturing, he points out the importance of production integrity in sex technology: “Users expect and deserve products that meet strict safety standards, and any deviation can irrevocably damage a brand’s reputation.” His prudence extends to OEJ’s manufacturing approach, relying on trusted white-label partners to ensure consistently high standards for every product.
Despite the surge in popularity of AI-powered sex technology, Guo is cautious about diving into “AI sex robots,” which he describes as a “low-volume business” that is often financially out of reach for most consumers. Instead, he believes in expanding OEJ’s themed collections to reach a broader audience. He says: “It’s time we [our bestsellers] a sister or brother,” hinting at even more innovations in the brand’s lineup.
