LOVERS in long-distance relationships will no longer have to wait weeks for a smooch with their partner thanks to a new kissing device – but it may take some getting used to.

The invention has been patented by the Changzou Vocational Institute of Mechatronic Technology.
Inventor, Jiang Zhnogli, said: “In my university, I was in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend so we only contact with each other through phone.
“That’s where the inspiration of this device originated”.
The quirky device links to the users Bluetooth through an app.
The user then makes the call through the app, but can opt to give the person at the other end of the line a full-on smooch.
Its creators also see the product allowing people suffering with contagious diseases to be able to pucker up, and enjoy a germ free kiss.
