Long-distance couples are reportedly more likely to orgasm - and ‘teledildonics’ could explain why
As anyone who has been in a long-distance relationship will know, keeping the spark alive can be challenging when you're apart.
To stay on top of their intimate lives, lovers are turning to remote devices such as app-controlled vibrators and sex toys.

For instance, Lovehoney's selection of Bluetooth toys has been called 'life saving' for those in long-distance 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."
So, how do teledildonics work, and where can you buy them? Find out everything you need to know below.
For those of you unfamiliar with the term, teledildonics refers to tech-enabled sex toys that enable remote intimacy in real-time.
As mentioned above, this might involve internet-connected apps or vibrators that work over Bluetooth, and they seem to be doing the trick.
In fact, a 2025 study by We Vibe found that 80 percent of men and 83 percent of women who use toys say they're satisfied with their sex lives.
It's hardly surprising either, as 53.5 percent report orgasming every time they have sex using a toy in comparison to 46.4 percent of people who don't involve them in the bedroom.
So, where can you get hold of remote devices to keep the romance alive?
At the time of writing, Lovehoney has up to 50 percent off select items on the site, including app-controlled devices.
With rave reviews online, the We-Vibe Sync O Couple's Vibrator has been slashed from £159.99 to £79.99 for a limited time only.
Described as 'mind blowing' by some, it enables long-distance lovers to share pleasure via a free app. There's even the ability to video call and text, no matter where you are.
Other popular options on offer include the Lelo Ida Wave App-Controlled Dual Stimulation Vibrator and the We-Vibe Ditto+ Vibrating Butt Plug.
