Intimate toys for long-distance sex

What about intimacy in a long distance relationship? What options for sex?

Distance. It is perhaps one of the most repeated words since 2020, the year in which the global pandemic caused by Covid-19 began. Physical distance, social distance, two measures imposed to protect our health and that of our loved ones. If distance and sexuality are two words that at first glance seem to be antonyms, this was an opportunity for the sex toy industry to integrate high quality technology into its products. Today, sex toys have become great allies in protecting sexuality in a long-distance relationship in a fun, effective and safe way.

Intimacy without physical contact.



Karina López, a clinical psychologist and sex educator, explains that «in order to have a pleasurable sexual experience with another person, regardless of gender or age, it is important to have intimacy. But we often confuse intimacy with physical contact. They usually go hand in hand, but intimacy is something that goes far beyond whether or not you can touch the person.»
Intimacy is also about complicity, comfort and well-being, empathy and synchrony.
Bonds and feelings that can exist and be strengthened even when a continent separates us from the other person. It's about creating good moments and being able to remember them even when we are not necessarily physically connected to the partner.
From this perspective, it is possible to maintain an intimate relationship despite the distance. You just need to be informed and have the will to do it.

What about long-distance sex?

Before detailing the most interesting option of this article, let's review some possibilities for having fun for two (or more for the greediest among you) despite the distance.



Technology at your service.
There are several online tools available today that allow us to stay in touch with someone virtually anywhere, as often as we want, based solely on the effectiveness of our Internet signal and devices.
Instant messaging and video calling (videoconferencing) apps are some of the most popular ways we get to know each other. You can use them to your sexual advantage. Using sexting (erotic text messaging) to keep the flame of passion alive, revealing body parts in photo exchanges, planning a steamy video call, and using your imagination are some ideas you can use creatively and playfully.

The voice only.
Developing erotic imagination is also a way to increase and improve sexual desire. To do this, we recommend that you use only your voice, i.e. speak only without any kind of image and say with sensuality and in detail what you would like to do to your partner or what you would like him to do to you.
You can include various details such as how you are dressed or if you are naked, what position you are in, or even tell your partner a fantasy.
Enjoying your partner's whispers and moans is a powerful way to increase desire and passion.

Domination game.
Another way to give free rein to your imagination and fantasy is to give your partner, with his agreement, a list of things he has to do on a given day, such as put on perfume, wear a certain type of underwear, masturbate in this way or in this place... and then end the day with a naughty video call between the two of you to share your experiences.

Incorporate sex-toys into your long-distance relationship.



As the ideas above suggest, technology has quickly become essential to maintaining this type of relationship, especially with applications that allow for vocal and visual exchanges. From now on, these exchanges can also be sensory, thanks to intimate toys that can be connected and controlled over long distance. Any distance...
The use of connected sex toys is a trend that has grown significantly in recent years. They answer a question that all couples separated by tens, hundreds or even thousands of kilometers ask themselves: how to make love from a distance? Thanks to this technology, if each partner has a device connected to the Internet and one of these famous vibrators that can be controlled remotely, it is possible, easy... and very pleasant.
These love toys connect to an application on a smartphone, tablet, box or remote control via the Internet (or Bluetooth for much shorter distances) and can therefore be controlled remotely to take or give pleasure, up close and from a distance. They have features designed for use by two people (or more), some allowing simultaneous penetration. They also have the advantage of offering a wide choice of programming, some models respond to audio and/or visual stimulation and synchronize, giving the impression of an almost immersive experience on a sensory level.
Keeping the flame and desire alive in a couple is easier when you can maintain authentic sexual intimacy that goes beyond texting, vocal games, or sensual dancing on video calls.

Connected sex toys: Which one to choose?

First of all, always remember to check that the object can be connected to the Internet (via Wi-Fi technology). If it can only connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth, the control range will not exceed a few meters. The price range is a very good indicator: a sex toy that can connect to a Wi-Fi network will generally cost over 100 euros.
Choose based on the type of stimulation you like or where you want to experience it. Choose materials like silicone, ABS, TPR or TPE for a quality toy that is safe for your body. And opt for a small, discreet toy to also please yourself outdoors (panty stimulator, vibrating egg, butt plug).

Finally, remember that while connected sex toys offer an alternative solution for long-distance sexual relations, it is essential to find the right balance. As long as they are used occasionally and in addition to the emotional and sexual dynamics, they can enrich the experience. Conversely, over-reliance on digital technology can potentially take you away from intuitive sensuality and simplicity.
Long-distance relationships aren't for every couple because of the extra work involved, but just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible. The key to success (whether emotional or sexual) lies in your ability to communicate with your partner and to maintain the bond through patience and originality.
