Virtual Sex: Using Sex Toys for Long Distance Pleasure

In an ever-increasing virtual world whereby sex can take on a new form, what actually is virtual sex, why do we need to do it, and is it any good? There are many reasons why people may choose to take part in virtual sex these days so we’re here to explain a little more about it alongside our top tips, and top sex toy picks for that all important virtual time between the sheets!

What is Virtual Sex?

Virtual sex is where you discuss and/or perform any sexual activities with another person but via a phone call, videocall, text conversation or any other virtual format where you aren’t in each other’s presence physically. Virtual sex may involve you describing your sexual actions and tantalising and teasing your partner to turn them on.

There may be a number of reasons you have to / want to have virtual sex – from long distance relationships to the impact of national lockdowns or even just for a bit of fun when you’re spending the night away from your partner. Virtual sex can also be an exciting option for you to explore, be adventurous and have a little fun with your sex life.

How to Make Long Distance Relationships Work

Being in a long-distance relationship, whether it’s because one of you works away or you live in a different city / country, is one of the key reasons people have virtual sex – because, well, what else are you going to do? Sex is a huge part of a relationship and if you aren’t in each other’s presence physically, then you’ve got to play with what you’ve got – yourself, and your partner’s words and actions!

Long-distance relationships can be hard and put a huge strain on a relationship as you may both be feeling the pressure, so you’ve got to have fun to keep that all important intimacy and passion alive! While you’re counting down the days until you’re next reunited, add some adventure and experiment with virtual sex.

Virtual sex with long-distance sex toys can help make you feel connected to each other even when you’re apart, so physical distance doesn’t necessarily mean sexually distant.
