App-friendly sex toys you can control from your phone

Think being in a long-distance relationship means a lack of sexual intimacy? Think again.
Before the onset of teledildonics (the term for virtual sex using technology) long distance couples had no choice but to rely on sexting, Facetime or a revealing photo to keep the spark alight while apart.
But thanks to a growing number of brands from Lovense, We-Vibe and Kiiroo, integrating tech into their sex toys, you and your partner can get down and dirty together, no matter how near or far you are – and it’s safe to say the future of sex is here and evolving.
So how exactly does long-distance sex play work? Well, instead of controlling your favourite toy hands on, the device is synched to an app on your partner’s phone, allowing them to determine everything from the rhythm to the intensity of the toy, putting your pleasure totally in their hands wherever they might be.
Some more tech-forward sex toys, like Lovense’s Max 2, Calor and Nora take long-distance tech play a step further. You can pair their compatible devices up, sync with each other, so you can coordinate the same pattern for you and your partner and experience each other’s movements and patterns so you can come together no matter where you are.
Of course, nothing beats being with your partner in real life, but when you’re separated by land or sea, these app-controlled toys will help keep your sex life in sync.
