The term teledildonics refers both to remote-controlled sex toys and the technology behind them. Essentially, any toy that can be controlled from a long distance - usually via Bluetooth and a smartphone app- would be considered a teledildonic suit. Teledildonic technology has been around since the 1980s, but the emergence of smartphones and wireless data connections have allowed teledildonics to rapidly evolve over the past decade. Major player in the teledildonics market include Lovense, Kiiroo, WeVibe, and Lelo. These devices tend to be more expensive than other sex toys, but this reflects their upgraded features and usability - particularly for couples in a long-distance relationship.
