In this article, we present TouchYou, a pair of wearable interfaces that enableaffective touch interactions with people at long-distance. Through a touch-sensitiveinterface, which works by touch, pressure and capacitance, the body becomes the owninput for stimulating the other body, which has a stimulation interface that enablesthe feeling of being touched. The person receives an electrical muscle stimulation,thermal and mechanical stimulation that react depending on the touch sensed by thefirst interface. By using the TouchYou, people can stimulate each other, using theirown body, not only for sexual relations at a distance but for the production ofaffection and another way of feeling. We discuss the importance of the touch forhuman relationships, the current state of the art in haptic interfaces and how thetechnology can be used for the affection remote transmission. We present the designprocess of the TouchYou sensitive and stimulation interfaces, with a contribution ofa method for developing custom touch sensors, we explore usage scenarios for thetechnology, including sex toys and sex robots and we present the concept of using thebody as a remote sex interface.
