People have been freaking out about how some new piece of technology is heralding the collapse of society since the invention of the gramophone (and guess what? We\u2019re still chugging along pretty well!)<\/p>\n

Rather than think of new inventions like\u00a0Netflix\u00a0or cell phones as distractions from our sex lives, we\u2019re going to embrace it (and more) by looking at all the ways that mobile phones can make sex better.<\/p>\n

1. A Stranger is a Friend You Haven’t Met Yet<\/h2>\n

Where would we be without apps like Grinder, Tinder or Lespark? Clearly, people managed to meet other people with which to have sex in the past, but were all the\u00a0hook up apps\u00a0<\/a>to disappear tomorrow, would we fall right back into the methods of yore?<\/p>\n

While said scenario wouldn\u2019t doom us to dipping into our pool of exes for sex, it is interesting to note the way that dating apps have made it much easier to find sexual partners, and particularly helpful, sexual partners who are into the same stuff as we are. Oh, and it wasn\u2019t just the Internet that changed how we meet people either; there have been several\u00a0changes over the past 50 years to our methods of mate-finding<\/a>\u00a0that reflect everything from urbanization to the age at which people are settling down now.<\/p>\n

2. A Total Write Off<\/h2>\n

Obviously, we are fans of the written word (what else lets us wax loquacious about everything from fisting <\/a>to the strangest ways to reach orgasm<\/a>?)\u00a0but the large role it has in our sex lives nowadays would actually be a surprise to many in the 1980s, had you gotten into a time machine to talk to people about dating rather than do something cool like see Michael Jackson in concert.<\/p>\n

See, people were pretty much all about using the phone for actual talking at this point, and letter writing was something you did to thank your grandma for sending you twenty bucks on your birthday.\u00a0 Then we got the Internet.<\/p>\n

Faster than you could type \u2018a\/s\/l?\u2019 people were rediscovering the erotic possibilities of writin\u2019 dirty. And of course, now we use texting not only as foreplay, but also as a less-awkward way to discuss\u00a0 your\u00a0 deepest fantasies <\/a>with your partner. a<\/p>\n

3. Come On Feel the Noise<\/h2>\n

The modern mobile phone is so much more than a telephone: we can watch videos, take photos, stream music and more, all from a device that fits in our pocket.<\/p>\n

For sex that might be spontaneous, having all that in your pocket can be quite handy when it comes to both setting the mood and drowning out any noises you both might be making. Just pop on a movie or playlist\u00a0 and place it close-ish to the door so you won\u2019t be tempted to fiddle with it and it will have the maximum effect as a roommate courtesy. As a pro tip: You can put your phone in an (obviously empty) glass to amplify the sound if you don\u2019t have speakers.<\/p>\n

4. Make Gains<\/h2>\n

Are you in one of those chat groups where everyone compares how many steps they\u2019ve taken that day? We prefer to brag about something a little more fun.<\/p>\n

Much as sleep apps can use your phone\u2019s gyroscope to monitor the quality of your sleep, the same has been created to monitor your sexual performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, we aren\u2019t going to say that the number of pumps dictates the quality of your sex, but it can be fun to monitor how long the sex lasts and how loud you were both being.\u00a0 If you and your partner are the competitive types, you can set goals and challenges for \u2018quickest quickie<\/a>\u2019\u00a0or \u2018who can be the loudest\/quietest\u2019 – something you could try measuring with a sound-responsive vibrator like SIRI 2<\/a>!<\/p>\n

5. Remotes out of Control<\/h2>\n

Of course, the newest reason to bring your phone into the bed (out, if you\u2019re into\u00a0public play<\/a>) is none other than our own\u00a0REMOJI<\/a> app.<\/p>\n

This app turns your cell phone into so much more than just a remote for your (or your partner\u2019s) vibrator; it turns it into a fun and interactive game (that also happens to look totally innocuous when used in say, the club, out in the park, or in a restaurant).<\/p>\n

Take a look at\u00a0our\u00a0entire range of app-controlled sex toys <\/a>to see which one gets you buzzing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
