New technologies have an impact on every aspect of our lives, especially if we live in a community and consumer society. The reason they are becoming an ever more important part of our lives is that they offer real advantages. They enable us to be more productive and efficient at work, they facilitate communication between distant people, they make a home more comfortable, and so on. With connected sex toys, there will be a new way of approaching sexuality and intimacy. On the face of it, this can only be a positive thing, since testing out new sex toys can greatly help couples break out of their routine.

Connected sextoys are sex toys that operate via an application installed on your smartphone. So it's via your phone that you can control it. Several choices are available on the market, allowing you to explore different types of pleasure and sensations:

• Connected vibrators
• Connected vibrating rings
• Connected dildos
• Connected clitoral or multi-purpose stimulators
• Interactive sex toys for couples
• Connected sextoys with virtual reality

Connected sextoys are easy to use: a single gesture is all it takes to turn it on or off. You can easily increase or reduce its intensity. They can also be used whether you're alone or a couple. These toys have also been designed to be used whenever and wherever you want.

Connected sex toys also have the advantage of facilitating long-distance relationships, as they can still be intimate. They also help to add a new dimension to a couple's sexual games, and to enjoy new experiences together.

Connected sex toys enable you to enjoy maximum pleasure, but they also have a few drawbacks that call for vigilance. Incorrect handling can cause physical discomfort, and excessive use can reduce sensitivity and have a negative impact on sexual function. It's very easy to become addicted as soon as you start to feel pleasure, so always try to exercise moderation and maintain a healthy lifestyle. You should also check that the materials from which they are made are of high quality and do not risk causing allergic reactions. As a connected device, make sure you're well protected against hacking and personal data leaks.

The future of intimacy in the age of connected sex toys offers both exciting possibilities and complex challenges. Social developments, the possibilities of augmented intimacy and the ethical questions that arise from them reflect a complex interconnection between technology, sexuality and our understanding of intimacy. It's crucial to approach these developments with careful thought and an awareness of the responsibilities involved.
