Sex Machines

Sex machines deliver hands-free, motorised thrusting at a pace and depth you control. The range covers app-controlled units from Lovense and Kiiroo, rideable saddle machines from The Cowgirl, and heavy-duty restraint benches and chairs with built-in machines.

The easiest way to narrow it down is to decide what position you want to be in, because that matters more than motor specs. If you want to stay on top and control the angle yourself, look at the saddles: The Cowgirl's Premium Saddle, Thrust Rider and The Unicorn, the Bucking Saddle, which thrusts and vibrates, and the 50X Saddle Pro, which comes with four attachments. You straddle it, the machine moves, and you shift your weight to change what you feel.

If you'd rather lie back, kneel or go on all fours, you want a machine that sits on the bed or floor and drives the attachment toward you. The Pro-Bang comes with a remote, and the Master Series Dicktator is the heavy-duty option. The Lovense Sex Machine, the smaller Lovense Mini and the Kiiroo PleasureDrive do the same job from a phone app, which changes who's in charge: you can hand control to a partner across the room or across the country. There are smaller remote-play options in app-controlled toys.

Then there are the pieces where the machine is part of the furniture. The Master Series Enforcer Bondage Chair, Ultimate Obedience chair, Obedience Bench (with a detachable machine) and Breed Master Breeding Stand hold one partner in place with restraint points while the other sets the pace. These are proper pieces of sex furniture and need floor space, so check the dimensions before ordering. They go naturally with restraints and a blindfold.

Not sure you want a full machine yet? The b-Vibe Realistic Thrusting Dildo Machine is a smaller automatic option, and some vibrating dildos thrust on their own. Neither has the stroke length of a full machine, but both fit in a drawer.

A machine doesn't tire out the way a wrist does, so lube matters more than usual. Water-based lube is the safe choice with silicone attachments; keep the bottle within reach. Clean attachments after every session with a toy cleaner, and check each listing for what's included and what fits before buying extra dildos to use with it.
