From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  teledildonics /tel`*-dil-do'-niks/ n. Sex in a computer simulated
     virtual reality, esp. computer-mediated sexual interaction between the
     {VR} presences of two humans. This practice is not yet possible except
     in the rather limited form of erotic conversation on {MUD}s and the
     like. The term, however, is widely recognized in the VR community as a
     {ha ha only serious} projection of things to come. "When we can sustain


     a multi-sensory surround good enough for teledildonics, _then_ we'll
     know we're getting somewhere." See also {hot chat}.
