In the world of technology, long-distance relationships are getting a peculiar twist. A new device allows you to send a kiss through your iPhone, and while it might sound romantic, it also comes with a side of bizarre. Meet The Kissenger, the so-called ‘kiss messenger’ that replicates the sensation of a kiss and sends it to a paired device—presumably one being held by your significant other and not a stranger from a dating app.
The Kissenger is a dock where you place your phone, equipped with a silicone pad that you press your lips against. The pressure you apply transfers to a similar pad on the recipient’s device. When they hold it against their cheek or lips, they feel the replicated pressure. It’s an attempt at true intimacy, albeit a little unsettling.
But before you dash to grab one, keep in mind that The Kissenger is still a prototype created by City University London’s Imagineering Lab. Plus, it currently only works with iOS devices, leaving Android users out in the cold without this strange sensation of a silicone pad mashing against their face. Tough luck, folks!
As technology evolves, we find ourselves connecting in all sorts of ways—from social media and video calls to dating platforms and more. Innovations like The Kissenger are just one step into a future where we try to bridge the physical gap with digital solutions, even if they seem a bit odd.
Now, I love my phone as much as anyone, but let’s be real—those devices are practically breeding grounds for germs. The last thing I’d want to do, regardless of how far apart my partner might be, is press that petri dish against my mouth.
However, if you’re feeling adventurous and are in need of a virtual smooch this New Year’s Eve, go ahead! Just make sure to keep some disinfectant nearby. And if you’re curious about other ways to grow your family, check out this post on cervical insemination for more insights.

In summary, while sending kisses through a device might add a quirky layer to your long-distance relationship, it also raises questions about hygiene and practicality. As we embrace these technological advancements, let’s remember to prioritize comfort and cleanliness in our personal connections.
