Ever had the Internet decide your entire sexual identity—based on your pillow talk on reality TV? Just ask Tim Malcolm from 90 Day Fiancé.
The world watched, the rumors swirled, and ScreenRant’s headline declared it: Tim Malcolm Finally Address Rumors That He Is Gay Amid Hunt For Love Comeback. One awkward scene, a few nontraditional flirtations, and the collective Internet took it as an invitation to play ‘Guess That Orientation!’ If you’re thinking, “Wait, do we still do this in 2025?”—buckle in, because the answer is a resounding, “Apparently, yes.”
But here’s what they DON’T tell you on reality TV: the way we label, question, and judge sexual identity is being upended—not just by people like Tim, but by the technologies quietly rewriting the rules of intimacy. Let’s bust five of the most persistent myths about sexual identity in the digital age, reality-TV style (with an AI-powered twist). Spoiler: Myth #4 involves an actual talking sex toy.
1. “You Can Tell Someone’s Orientation by Their Dating Style”
Ah, the timeless classic. Tim Malcolm acted different, therefore—he must be gay! (Or bi! Or something, right?) Social media lit up with theories. But if we’ve learned anything from the last ten years of online dating and TikTok thirst traps, it’s this: sexual identity isn’t dictated by how you court someone on camera—or how you slide into DMs.
People flirt awkwardly. People overthink. Sometimes, people just… aren’t that into their reality TV match. Shocking, I know.
Open Loop Alert: So, if reality TV “tells” us so little, what might actually give people space to explore their real desires? (Hint: It’s AI, and it probably vibrates.)
2. “AI Can’t Possibly Know Anything About Human Intimacy”
This is 2025. Your phone knows when you’re stressed, your fridge suggests mood snacks, and your AI companion—well, let’s just say it listens harder than the average Bumble date.
Companies like Orifice AI Incorporated are out here building devices that don’t just “react” to your touch, but use computer vision, language models, and even generative moaning to tailor their responses. These aren’t your grandma’s romance novels (unless grandma’s got very adventurous taste in tech).
Fun Fact: The Orifice AI device doesn’t just “moan to order.” It can flirt, banter, and—in a pinch—hold a better conversation than most reality show contestants.
3. “Exploring with AI Toys Means You’re Confused About Your Orientation”
Here’s where it gets juicy. People love to gatekeep tech—and sexuality. “If you’re into AI-driven toys, are you even into real people?” “Is this just for experimenting?”
Let’s get real: AI doesn’t care how you label yourself. Want to be romance-novela-level dramatic one night and cyberpunk minimalist the next? Want to try out flirtatious banter as a man, a woman, or an octopus-themed chatbot? No device is going to judge—or screenshot your cringe.
With AI-powered sex tech, you set the parameters. Gender? Voice? Flirting style? The algorithm’s got you. It isn’t about confusion; it’s about curiosity, control, and authentic self-expression (something reality TV could use more of).
4. “Sexuality Can’t Be Fluid in a World Run by Algorithms”
The latest discourse: If an AI companion adapts to your every move, does that make you more likely to “change” your identity? Cue the pearl-clutching.
But here’s the plot twist—AI isn’t here to pigeonhole you; it’s here to liberate you. Rather than box you into binary categories, next-gen devices (like the infamous Orifice AI device, as seen in The Verge and Raiday.ai) let users explore what actually feels right, not what should look right.
Imagine an intimate game controller (yes, literally): it responds to penetration depth, learns your conversational cues, and gives back just the right mix of feedback, affirmation, and pleasure. Instead of relying on outdated categories, you’re free to experiment—privately, safely, and on your own terms.
5. “Public Opinion Online = The Ultimate Judge”
If you learned anything from Tim Malcolm’s saga, it’s that letting Twitter decide your identity is like letting your cat pick your next Hinge date. The crowd is loud, but rarely accurate.
Here’s the hopeful bit: As AI intimacy tools get smarter, more inclusive, and (frankly) more fun, the need to “perform” an identity for an audience fades away. Instead of worrying about whether the comment section “gets” you, you can just get on with being you—however that looks (or sounds, or moans).

In Conclusion:
Tim Malcolm’s public journey may have sparked a thousand memes, but the future of sexual identity won’t be decided on a reunion couch—it’ll be explored in the privacy of your own space, often with a little help from AI.
So, what myths about intimacy are YOU ready to let go of? And what would you ask an AI companion, if privacy and judgment weren’t holding you back?
