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."
