Inside the rise of 'teledildonics' and why some couples swear by it for sex
Couples claim 'teledildonics' are the secret to keeping things spicy in the bedroom, especially for those in long-distance relationships.
As anyone who has done long distance will know, it can be challenging to keep the spark alive when you're apart.
So, in a bid to stay on top of their intimate lives, lovers are turning to remote devices such as app-controlled vibrators and sex toys, also known as teledildonics.

For instance, Lovehoney's selection of Bluetooth toys has been called 'life saving' for those in far-flung relationships.
One glowing review for the We-Vibe Sync O Couple's Vibrator reads: "I have been wanting to get my hands on an app-controlled toy, that can be controlled from anywhere in the world for a long time, as my partner is often overseas."
"For anyone that has a partner that travels or is away from home a lot (or not), I can't recommend this enough... it's been a game changer for us!"
Another raved, "My partner and I are in a long-distance relationship and this has made those nights away from each other feel like we're closer."
Speaking about the We-Vibe X Lovehoney Jive Lite, another said: "Life saver for a long-distance relationship. Bought it as a couple as we were in two separate locations.
"Since its app-controlled, it allows me to have both my hands free, which is great."
