Whether it's an illness or a long-distance relationship,
it's frustrating to be separated from partners and lovers. In the age of the
Internet, there are so many ways to connect, however, and some of the
tried-and-true methods of distance sex are still as good as ever! Don't believe
me? Try the following for yourself!
Phone Sex
There's an entire generation of people who have missed out
on phone sex because they're not comfortable with phone calls, and it's a
shame. Phone sex is awesome, y'all. You get to share an intimate connection
with someone that can feel quite taboo and all the much hotter for it. But you
don't have to shave, brush your teeth, or even remove all your clothing. Hell,
you don't even have to turn on the lights.
Phone sex combines the best parts of masturbating with the
best parts of partnered sex, and now's it's time for a comeback! Thanks to
smartphones and headsets, you can reserve both your hands for pleasure! So read
your partner a sexy story, describe your fantasies, or tell the person on the
other end of the phone what you're doing to yourself, and lie back and listen
to their delectable sounds. Just make sure to wipe your phone down before and
after touching yourself.
Cyber Sex
The face of cybersex has changed greatly over the last two
decades. Thanks to high-speed Internet and high-definition cameras on the
devices that we always have on us, you can see and hear the person on the other
end of the line. So go ahead and start a Skype call or FaceTime with your boo.
There are all sorts of sexy games to play via camera, ranging from Simon Says
to self-bondage to erotic hypnosis. You can always stick to still photos if you
prefer.
Of course, just because text-based cybersex isn't as common
as it once was doesn't mean that you can't get old-school with it. Maybe it's
time for the chat room to make a comeback! With so many people stuck at home,
plenty of people are looking for those to flirt and hookup within the digital
world, and some of these people have flocked to online dating sites. Who knows?
Maybe your virtual hookup can lead to a physical one in the future!
Smart Toys
Smart toys have become more ubiquitous over the last few
years. Smart toys, like other smart devices, interface with your phone –
usually via Bluetooth. You can use your phone as a remote control or hand it
over to someone who can tease and titillate you, even if they're in a different
room. However, this technology doesn't just improve on yesterday's frustrating
remote-controlled toys.
The technology known as teledildonics allows users to
controls toys over the Internet from afar, and it pairs perfectly with other
items in this list. Many smart devices offer these capabilities, and some
devices even integrate with your or messaging apps. Perhaps most impressive is
the fact that some companies make toys that can respond to each other over the
Internet when both are in use.
Get Low-Tech
You don't necessarily have to get high tech to enjoy toys
when you're separated from your partner. Clone-A-Willy and Clone-A-Pussy kits
allow you to create molds from your genitals and create sex toys from them,
which you can share through good old-fashioned snail mail. The technique can
take a second to perfect, so be sure to read all the instructions and watch a
few videos before trying it out yourself. However, if it works, your partner
will get a one-of-a-kind sex toy that reminds them of you!
Online Sex Work
For people who don't have a partner, sex workers are still
available online. Cam girls provide a necessary connection to people who cannot
find it elsewhere, not to mention release! And you can support your favorite
performs via their websites, Only Fans accounts, and directly.
Yourself
Of course, solo sex can still be awesome. More importantly,
it can be a form of self-care during trying times. So break out the lube, your
favorite sex toy, and your most reliable erotic content. If you're in a
position to do so, seek out ethical porn and pay for it.
Lock the doors and slip between the sheets or into the tub.
Explore your body and pleasure yourself in the ways that only you know how to
do. Continue on for an orgasm or ten. Or you can also focus on the journey and
not the destination.
