Term supposedly coined by Ted Nelson in the 70's or 80's.

The current state of cybersex is pretty much phonesex with typing, and more room for anonymous hookups. Internet telephony, and person-to-person video using digital cameras, have begun to extend the frontiers of teledildonics, but it still hasn't lived up to the tactile promise of such sexual visionaries as Anton LaVey. Extension to the tactile dimension is the next challenge, a problem in robotics, ergonomics, and material science.

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 MUDs 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.
