Forget sexting! Now your boyfriend can use his smartphone to control your underwear and turn you on

Couples in long-distance relationships might already use their phones to send raunchy photo messages to one another but now smartphones can be used to keep the passion alive in a new way.

Underwear featuring a wearable massager that can be controlled by a partner using an app, has been unveiled at the 2014... Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

The blueMotion vibrator was created to bring couples closer using smartphones, who might otherwise ignore each other and pay more attention to emails and text messages.

The massager can be fitted inside underwear and can be controlled remotely using an Android or iOS app

It is not clear whether the device will be rolled out in other countries

The smart underwear features a Bluetooth enabled massager that can vibrate in unlimited patterns and promises to be 'completely discrete'.

‘For some couples, the explosion of the digital age has resulted in a shift in intimacy, as many pay more attention to devices than their partners,’ said Suki Dunham founder of OhMiBod.

‘blueMotion breaks down those virtual barriers by encouraging couples to interact both physically and emotionally using technology. 

'They can experience the thrill of unlimited vibration patterns and total discretion whenever the mood arises.’

The lightweight blueMotion device, which can be fitted inside underwear, has a motor that is controlled by an app for Android and iOS smartphones in numerous ways.

It connects to a smartphone via the 'remote' app to make use of phone features including the accelerometer, touch screen, and volume controls to operate the massager.

Sound clips can be recorded using the app, which generates vibrations though the device based on a partner’s voice or a favourite song.

The company says that the number of vibration patterns that can be created is limitless.

The massager will go on sale in March 2014 and retail for $129. 

THE UBIQUITY OF VIBRATORS

• More than 50 per cent of American women have used a vibrator, making them nearly as ubiquitous as a coffee maker.
• The vibrator was the fifth domestic appliance to be electrified, following the sewing machine, fan, kettle, and toaster - and it beat both the vacuum cleaner and the iron to market.
• The sizable market has estimated sales at $1.3billion a year.
• A 2009 study from Indiana University found that 53 per cent of women in the U.S. - and nearly half of all men - have used vibrators, making them twice as common among adults as condoms are.
