All Night, on Opposite Sides of the Country, Feeling Every Move

They could not touch or hold each other across the distance, so they found another way to feel close. Every movement she made travelled across the country and landed on him.

I was single for a long time and used to think owning a sex toy made you pathetic, as if it marked the end of your social life. Once I got past that stigma, I searched online and found Lovense. As a techie, the idea immediately caught my attention.

At the time, I was involved with a woman in the United States. Distance was a huge problem, and neither of us could afford to visit. I found a sale on the Nora and Max 2, so I bought the pair. When the Nora arrived, I told her about it. She was embarrassed by the idea at first, even though we already had intimate video calls almost every night.

After a week, she finally gave me her address and I mailed the Nora to her. I was excited when it arrived, but she made me wait to use my Max 2 until she was ready too. We explored the toys separately at first, then tried syncing them.

That first synced session was the closest thing to sex we could have across the distance. It became our version of sex: intense, intimate, and occasionally funny. Sometimes it felt so good that she forgot we were synced and stopped, which meant my toy stopped too. It was cute and frustrating at the same time. 😂

Even during a few months when we weren’t talking, I couldn't bring myself to sync with anyone else. It felt too personal because syncing had become our thing. We married in April this year. I’m 45 and she’s 28. Now that we live together, we no longer need to sync, but I still use her Nora with her and make patterns for her to enjoy.
