Sex Machines

What are sex machines?

A sex machine is a motorised device that does the thrusting or rotating for you. You set the speed and angle and the motor keeps a steady rhythm for as long as you like. Most models in this collection drive a dildo back and forth, some add rotation, and one is built to be ridden. They are hands-free by design, popular for solo sessions and for partners who want to watch or direct.

Types of sex machines

Portable and mini thrusters

Compact rechargeable thrusters from Overdrive, WhipSmart and Fort Troff are the entry point. They are light enough to hold or prop on a pillow, run on a battery rather than a wall plug, and usually come with a remote so you or a partner can change speed without reaching for the base.

Floor and stand-mounted thrusting machines

Heavier machines from Lovebotz, Master Series, Fetish Fantasy Series, Me You Us and Merci stand on the floor or a stand and plug into the wall for continuous power. The Fetish Fantasy Bigger Bang adds rotation to the stroke, and the Doc Johnson Vac-U-Lock thrusting machine takes the whole Vac-U-Lock attachment range.

Multi-angle and adjustable machines

Lovebotz's Axis, Matrix, Robo, Versa and Maestro let you change height and angle so one machine works in several positions. The Fetish Fantasy Body Dock Pro mounts the machine on a frame for the same reason.

Ride-on machines

The Temptasia Rebel Ride is sat on rather than aimed, so your body weight controls depth while the motor handles the movement.

App-controlled and interactive machines

Lovense machines connect to a phone app, which lets a partner take control from another room or another city, and the Kiiroo Pleasuredrive syncs with interactive content.

How to choose a sex machine

Think about where it will live, who controls it and how much adjustment you need.

• Size and storage: a portable thruster fits in a drawer; a floor machine needs space to set up and somewhere discreet to keep it.
• Power source: rechargeable models are quieter to set up and travel well; plug-in machines deliver steady power for longer sessions.
• Adjustability: look for height and angle adjustment if you want to use it in more than one position, and a range of speeds rather than one setting.
• Attachments: check what the machine comes with and whether it takes standard dildos, machine-compatible dildos or a Vac-U-Lock style fitting so you can swap toys later. Spare parts live under machine attachments.
• Control: a remote or app is worth having, because stopping or slowing down should never mean reaching for the base mid-session.

How to use and care for a sex machine

Start on the lowest speed and shortest stroke, and increase slowly. A machine does not get tired or notice discomfort, so you need to stay in charge of it.

• Use plenty of water-based lubricant, especially with silicone attachments, and reapply during longer sessions.
• Any attachment used anally must have a flared base or be locked into the machine so it cannot travel.
• Keep the remote or power switch within reach at all times, and stop immediately if anything hurts.
• Clean attachments before and after every use with warm water and a toy cleaner; wipe down the frame and keep electrics dry.
• Store attachments separately so different materials do not touch, and check moving parts for wear.

Sex machines for beginners, couples and solo play

First-time buyers are usually happiest with a rechargeable portable thruster: it is affordable, quiet and easy to put away, and it teaches you what speed and depth you actually enjoy before you commit to a floor model. Couples tend to prefer remote or app control so one partner can direct the pace, and a machine pairs well with restraints for those who already use them. Solo users with the space tend to graduate to an adjustable floor machine.
