Feb. 27 (UPI) -- A Chinese company is selling a remote kissing device designed to allow long-distance lovers to share their smooches via a cellphone app.

The Remote Kiss device, created by the Changzhou Vocational Institute of Mechatronic Technology, uses a set of silicon lips to replicate the pressure, movement and temperature of a kiss that is then replicated by a corresponding device via a smartphone app.

"In my university, I was in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend so we only had contact with each other through the phone. That's where the inspiration of this device originated," Jiang Zhongli, who led the team that created the device, told China's state-run Global Times.

The $41 device, available on Chinese shopping site Taobao, also has an option in the app to share kisses with anonymous strangers.

The Changzhou Vocational Institute of Mechatronic Technology obtained a patent for the device in 2019, but the patent expired in 2023. Jiang said he is hoping other designers will now be able to improve on the product.

I don’t think it has a throat.

I can see how this technology could be applied to other —

Never mind. Forget I said that.

That’s funny because it raises all sorts of interesting questions.

If the device has a throat, then sticking something other than a tongue in there will get tried in the first 5 minutes of use.

If that can be done, then a remote vagina sensing device is the next logical step.

Then, for Bill's sake, I hope they take returns.

On a serious note. Who wants a kissing machine that pecks like your Aunt Bertha?

I had an aunt who always tried to use a little tongue. It was terribly gross. I quit going to events that featured her presence.

Praise the Lord! She's dead now.

From those wonderful people who gave you electronic picture frames with the malware built in several Christmases ago.

I can imagine that these will send your DNA and everything else back to China.
