Long-distance relationships are tough. Whether it’s because of work, graduate school or any number of life items that pop up right around the time you want to get serious with someone, being together apart is sometimes necessary. That doesn’t make it any easier, though, and staying connected can be a challenge.
We all know damn well at this point just how harsh separation from people can be mentally, emotionally and especially physically. When you’re used to seeing and touching your partner regularly, a long time spent apart can leave you wanting some things — craving them, even. For these reasons, we’re big fans of Bluetooth sex toys, which are some of our favorite sex toys for couples.
One of the hardest parts of being apart when in a relationship is keeping your sex life alive and thriving. Virtual sex and mutual pleasuring over the phone are great ways to keep each other satisfied, especially when fun sex games and other surprises are in the mix, too. But what if you could control your partner’s pleasure remotely just as you would in person?
Thankfully, there is a new technology that can make that happen, and it’s glorious. Teledildonics — sex toys that can be connected via remote control, apps or synced devices — opens up exciting new possibilities for long-distance lovers.
What Are Teledildonics?
Sex toys have always been a means of connection for people – whether you’re connecting with your innermost animal self or with a partner, they’re one of the oldest forms of self-care that we have on this planet.

Thanks to technology, toys have come a long way in terms of body-safe material, realistic textures, and functionals. Teledildonic devices are basically high-tech, interactive toys that can be controlled via Bluetooth or WiFi to the internet, or your smartphone.
Partners can control sensations from afar, and some toys can even sync to the music, or an erotic novels. There are discreet wearable stimulators for both men and women available, as well as less discreet models designed for at-home usage only.
Sex is all about exploring, and these toys are helping us explore better than ever, enhancing pleasure all over the globe.
Ideas for Games With or Without Bluetooth Sex Toys
- Virtual masturbation sessions: Think visually stimulating Facetime sessions where you use a toy or hands. You can watch practice mutual masturbation, watch porn together via a screen share, dress up (or down), and even set up a sexy green screen.
- Sext, but make it audio: Voice notes are way more intimate than reading a text, so put on your sexiest voice and tell your partner what you want to do to them, or want them to do to themselves.
- Make your own literature: Writing letters is an ancient art, and it’s way more of a turn-on than a purple eggplant emoji. Consider writing a seductive letter – perhaps a role-play story, a naughty instruction manual, or your deepest fantasy.
Whether you’re interested in taking your tech to the next level or just want some tips for keeping it hot in your separate bedrooms, we’ve got a list for you. Check out our favorite Bluetooth sex toys and sex gifts for long-distance relationships.
