Move over sexting, Durex has (apparently) introduced a new toy on the block for long-distance relationships.

In the past day, the web (well, some parts of it) has been abuzz with the news of the latest "Durexperiment" labelled, "Fundawear".

According to the teaser video (pun intended), Durex's Fundawear will allow you to use a smartphone app to 'touch' your partner (or strangers?) while they wear specially made underwear allowing them to feel your awkward prods on your iPhone. It reminds me a little bit of that scene from Demolition Man. And there's no better way to kill the mood than imagining Sly Stallone in the throes of passion.

You can slip on a pair of Durex’ tech-smart his-and-her’s pants and the accompanying bra, download the associated haptic response app, et voila: activator-fuelled sex instead of actual sex.

The underwear – designed by Billie Whitehouse alongside Durex Australia – is not yet available to buy and there’s no word yet on if or when it ever will be. Durex is however giving away free Fundawear sets from its Facebook page.

And if you manage to get your hands on a set, I'm on Skype... ahem.
