Long Distance Loving (Now On Wii)

When Wii came on the market, promising to bring families together and help people get more physical, I doubt they had this in mind.

A new device is being developed that turns the Wii remote into a remote controlled vibrator. The site says: “The premise is simple. The motions of one device are transformed into vibrations in the other. Literally allowing you to “share the mojo” with anyone, anywhere in the world.”

The oddly named Mojowijo additions are not very sexy looking but perhaps changes will be made once the next round of testing is complete. (If you are interested you can sign up here).

It seems to come in a “male” and “female” design, and hopefully the makers will allow clients to customize their orders, to allow same sex couples the joy of not actually having sex.

Speaking as a former half of a long-distance couple, I can’t really see this adding a lot to the sexual dynamic. Shy couples will still be shy, and playful couples don’t need much assistance. That said, it might be a fun way to switch things up.

Where I see this really coming into it’s element is with virtual sex. It’s not a big leap to have the vibrations coming from a gaming program instead of a lover’s computer. Judging from the online porn market, there is a large segment of the population who are happy having orgasms without touching another human being — the question is whether they’d be willing to pay.
