“Like sounding. They’re a bunch of tech guys and they’ve never even heard of sounding.” An emerging practice where men insert specially designed items made from metal or glass

of the penis by their partner, however doing it can cause permanent damage.
“For me it started with basic protections of myself and of our users,” Riley says. “I keep going back to sounding because it’s like the best example of a sexual activity that is physically harmful. So I don’t ever want my AI to say it or to encourage somebody whose never even tried it or
whatever.
“Not that I’m encouraging it or anything but hopefully you have some experience if you’re
going to do it, which means you started from somewhere. But nonetheless I feel like it’s just about people protecting themselves and protecting yourself.”
