Being apart from the one you love can be tough, especially when it comes to intimacy, but distance doesn’t have to mean missing out on passion. In fact, long-distance sex can be an exciting, creative, and fantastic way to strengthen your connection and relationship while being apart.
In this guide, we’ll dive into what long-distance sex truly means and how you can turn it into a deeply passionate experience. We’ll show you how to keep the chemistry burning across the miles, from playful foreplay ideas to exploring long-distance sex toys and sex games that heighten desire.
What Is Long-Distance Sex?
Long-distance sex involves any form of sexual intimacy that takes place when you and your partner(s) aren’t physically together. Instead of being together in the same room, you connect through technology, imagination, and creativity. It can include anything from sexting, video calls, and voice messages to using remote-controlled sex toys or playing erotic games.

A Few Things To Know Before You Hit Send
Long-distance sex has plenty of benefits, as it helps keep intimacy alive regardless of the distance or different time zones. It reminds you that even when you’re apart, you’re still sharing private and intimate moments. It can also bring you closer emotionally, as it often calls for more communication, openness, and trust. And as a bonus, exploring long-distance sex can awaken new fantasies, help you discover sides of each other you may never have explored before, and make your reunions feel even more meaningful.
On the other hand, one partner might feel more comfortable than the other with video calls or sending photos; that’s exactly why communication is key. If privacy is a concern, encrypted apps are available, or you can skip the tech altogether and stick to good old dirty talking.
Remember: you never have to send or share anything you don’t feel comfortable with. Long-distance sex is about intimacy, romance, and fun – not pressure!
Long-Distance Sex Toys
Even though vibrators are usually the first app-controlled sex toys that come to mind, there’s a whole universe of remote-controlled pleasure waiting for you and your partner(s) to explore - from dildos and butt plugs to even strokers and long-distance sex-machines. These toys can help create an intimate space while being apart, but they’re just as perfect for turning up the heat when you reunite, in bed, or if you’re in the mood for a little cheeky public play. In other words, they’re full of possibilities, whether you’re miles apart or side by side.
No long-distance toy yet? No problem. A classic dildo or butt plug can be just as exciting when you let your partner take control and tell you how to use it.

How To Master Long-Distance Sex
Ready to turn miles apart into moments of pure pleasure?
1. Start with communication
Before beginning your long-distance sex journey, start with an open and honest chat about what turns you on, what you’re curious about, and your boundaries. Even if you’ve had similar talks before, this one’s a bit different, because you’re about to explore a whole new experience together. If this part feels a little tricky, a playful card game can be the perfect icebreaker to make it fun and lighthearted.
2. Foreplay
Long-distance intimacy doesn’t have to wait until lights out. A cheeky text, a flirty photo, or a teasing voice note during the day can help build anticipation. If you’re using remote-controlled sex toys, why not turn up the heat with some teasing surprises during the day? A playful foreplay can turn ordinary moments into exciting ones, making the final connection even more intense.
3. Set the scene
It doesn’t have to be all about the act itself. Plan a date night, cook dinner, light a few candles, wear your favorite lingerie, and enjoy a romantic video call before moving on to playtime. This makes the whole experience feel more intimate, but it also gives you a chance to check your connection – nothing kills the mood quite like a glitch in the middle of the fun.
4. Ready, Set, Play
Once you're both comfortable, it’s time to play! Sync up your app-controlled toys and follow your desires. You can even hand over control to your partner(s) – or take their lead if power play excites you. Toys can deliver thrilling surprises, but don’t forget that dirty talk, sharing fantasies, or a bit of roleplay can be just as powerful.
Psst…. don’t let a flat battery ruin the fun - charge your sex toys!
5. Aftercare
Remember that aftercare is as important as the act itself. Stay online for a chat, share how it felt, or plan your next long-distance date together. You could even watch a movie together og play a game - the perfect recipe for keeping intimacy alive no matter the distance.
