How Smart Sex Toys Can Fix a “Dead Bedroom”

What is a dead bedroom and how can smart sex toys help?

A “dead bedroom” refers to a relationship where sexual intimacy has faded over time. Smart sex toys like Luxus help couples rebuild connection through interactive technology. By translating physical touch into real-time sensations, Luxus creates shared experiences that reignite desire, enhance communication, and close emotional distance even when partners are apart.

 

What if the key to reigniting your sex life wasn’t more talking… but smarter tech?

 

In the latest episode of the Talk Sex with Annette podcast, host Annette sits down with Toon Timmermans, CEO and founder of Kiiroo, to explore how interactive technology is reshaping intimacy for modern couples. 

 

The conversation dives deep into connection, communication, and the quiet revolution of smart sex toys and how they’re helping people rediscover pleasure, together.

 

The New Age of Intimacy Tech

 

When passion fades or distance creeps in, most advice tells couples to talk more. But what if the problem isn’t a lack of words but rather a lack of shared experiences?

 

Toon Timmermans introduces the Luxus, Kiiroo’s newest interactive couples’ toy, designed to close the pleasure gap and bring connection back into the bedroom.

 

Using smart synchronization and responsive technology, Luxus translates physical touch and rhythm into real-time feedback, creating a shared, immersive experience that helps couples feel each other again, even when apart.

 

 

Smart Sex Toys: Connection, Not Replacement

 

One of the core messages from the episode is clear: these devices aren’t about replacing human connection; they’re about enhancing it.

 

As Toon explains, technology can act as a bridge, not a barrier. When couples feel emotionally distant or physically disconnected, smart toys like Luxus provide a safe, playful way to reintroduce intimacy.

 

They create opportunities to communicate differently. Not through words, but through touch, sensation, and shared rhythm.

 

“It’s not about performance,” Toon shares. “It’s about presence and feeling each other again in a way that’s real.”

 

 

When Technology Rekindles Desire

 

From long-distance couples to partners recovering from infidelity or simply feeling “stuck,” interactive toys are helping people rebuild trust and rediscover pleasure at their own pace.

 

This episode highlights how smart toys can help:

 

Reignite Desire: Introducing novelty and curiosity into routines that feel stale. 

 

Boost Communication: Encouraging partners to talk more openly about needs and boundaries.

 

Close the Orgasm Gap: Helping both partners take control of their pleasure in an equitable way.

 

Rebuild Intimacy: Creating real-time connection, whether you’re in the same room or miles apart.

 

A Smarter Way to Connect

 

The conversation reframes how we think about “dead bedrooms.” Rather than seeing them as the end of passion, Kiiroo’s perspective is that they can be the beginning of innovation, and a chance to use new tools to reignite old sparks.

 

Smart sex toys like Luxus prove that intimacy doesn’t have to fade; it just needs to evolve.

 

Key Takeaway

 

This isn’t about gadgets or gimmicks, it’s about growth. Smart intimacy tech gives couples a language for connection when words aren’t enough. It offers a way to feel closer, communicate better, and rediscover the joy of exploration.

 

Because when pleasure becomes shared again, whether it's emotionally, physically, or technologically, that’s when the real magic happens.
