The Surprising Reason Tech Toys Are Boosting Couples’ Intimacy

Relationships are not what they used to be. Once, you found a partner, settled down, and spent most of your life together in the same city or town. Nowadays, it’s rare to find couples who have never moved, or whose jobs don’t require travel or time abroad. It’s no secret that distant relationships can be stressful and emotionally challenging. But luckily, modern technologies give us more and more ways to close the gap and bring excitement back into the bedroom… even kilometres away.

 

Why Love Looks Different Today (and Intimacy Has to Keep Up)

While the old concept of intimacy could have simply been about closeness, intimacy today requires way more than that. Intimacy is shared experiences, having fun together, being vulnerable, and finding new ways to keep the sparkle alive. New needs call for new tools. And intimacy is no exception.

 

Because Love Doesn’t Always Live in the Same City Anymore

More than ever, we live in a world of constant, multi-layered connection. Of course, grabbing an in-person coffee with your best friend will always be an amazing way to connect. But if your friend lives abroad, you plan a video call. The same should apply to intimacy. Distance doesn’t have to be an obstacle. It can become an opportunity to explore new experiences.

 

 

How Interactive Toys Fit Into Real, Modern Relationships

At SVAKOM, we’ve listened closely to the changing needs of our customers. And while we started by creating toys meant to help couples have fun together, we soon realized that more and more people were travelling and struggling to keep the spark alive at a distance. If you travel, or live far from your partner right now, you know how frustrating this can be. A video call can be nice, but it isn’t always enough.

 

From Solo Use to Shared Moments

We started asking ourselves: what if couples could stay in control even from a distance? What if sex toys weren’t merely something to use in person, but a channel through which connections could stay alive? That’s when new ideas popped into our team’s heads. Modern couples want agency, and they want it even when they’re apart. Each couple wants to play their own game, in a way that feels uniquely theirs. And solutions must allow for flexibility in choosing the game, the toy, the mode, the time, and all we might want to add to the moment.

 

What Happens When Intimacy Meets Smart Technology

Our SVAKOM app brought our vision to life. In fact, the app isn’t just about controlling the toy when you’re playing solo (which is incredibly satisfying already), but it is made to offer a wide range of playful possibilities to all couples–committed or not, physically close, or long-distance.

 

 

Control, Play, and Connection—Even From Afar

Over time, hundreds of client reviews confirmed something we kept seeing: the possibility to keep sexual life alive, even when normal circumstances wouldn’t allow it. With app-controlled toys, your partner can act as if they were with you: controlling the rhythm, the speed, and the mode of whatever you have synced with the app. You select the toys together, sync them to your phones, and suddenly, the distance feels far less present. It’s a new way to stay connected, and be intimate, despite everything. It’s technology shaped around modern lives: career-driven individuals, frequent travellers, or people navigating long-distance connections.

 

We already accept that modern relationships use tools to stay close: voice notes, shared playlists, video calls, location sharing, silly memes at 2 a.m. Interactive toys fit into that same category, just in a more private, body-first way. They’re not meant to replace connection; they’re meant to protect it from the things that quietly erode it: routine, stress, and time apart.

 

So whether your version of play looks like Mora Neo, Ella Neo, or something more immersive like Phoenix Neo, the idea is simple. Intimacy doesn’t have to be perfect to be real. It just has to be chosen.

Let’s face it: solo play can be fun, exciting, and rewarding for some people… And terribly boring, cringy, and a total turn-off for others! While your best friend might tell you that “it’s just pretty natural,” you might still be on board with your colleague who claims that “solo play is just WEIRD. You have to do everything alone, so it just CANNOT possibly be that exciting.”
