We're living in a time when technology has made many aspects of our lives easier than anyone could imagine, and sex toys are a good example of this.
But what happens when you take a sex toy and turbocharge it? The answer is, you get a sex machine.
Sex machines are just another example of this. Simply put, sex machines take the physical effort out of sex, making the pleasure you feel during sexual intercourse easier to access. They're incredibly versatile and can be used solo or with a partner.

Intrigued? Here's what you need to know about sex machines — from why you'd want to consider one to the advantages and limitations, plus a few of the best on the market to consider.
What is a Sex Machine?
Besides sex slang for someone with a high sex drive who can last a long time in bed, a sex machine is a device that stimulates sexual pleasure by mimicking the movements and sensations of sexual intercourse.
Sex machines are more robust than a typical vibrator. Most popular models feature a type of hub or bank that grounds the device, and include a variety of attachment options designed for pleasure, whether it's a variety of dildos or masturbation sleeves.
Though sex machines may be slightly more associated with pleasuring people with vaginas, many are also designed for people with penises.
Reasons for Trying a Sex Machine
If having sex with a machine doesn't sound all too appealing, that's understandable. Sex machines aren't for everyone. Most are pricey and tend to take up a decent amount of space. But for those who are curious, here are a few popular use cases for sex machines.
Sex Machines Can Make Sex More Accessible
The act of having sex can be physically taxing on both parties. Even if you're both in peak physical shape, there's a limit on how many times anyone's hips can thrust before they feel more exhausted than turned on, and for people for whom physical exercise is tricky or unrealistic, sex can simply be unaccessible. Sex machines defy the physical limitations we have as humans, though, offering sexual pleasure for as long as one can take without tiring out.
Sex Machines Can Eliminate Performance Anxiety
If you’re someone who’s anxious about not being able to please your partner (or you want to see them maximally pleasured but aren’t sure you’re the one to do it) a sex machine could be the answer.

There's no stress about performance anxiety or concern about whether or not you're doing enough. Instead, you can let the machine do the work for you while you watch your partner experience pleasure. Kind of like diet cuckolding, if you think about it.
Sex Machines Offer More Ways to Be Sexually Stimulated
As the saying goes, different strokes for different folks. Sex machines cater to a variety of preferences when it comes to physical touch and stimulation, opening doors for new and novel ways to experience sexual pleasure.
Sex Machines Provide Novelty
Using a sex machine, whether with a partner or solo, is a surefire way to ignite new excitement in your sex life. Sex machines open doors for new positions, sensations and ways to enjoy yourself physically. For instance, you could use a sex machine to simulate an Eiffel Tower threesome with a partner — getting oral pleasure from them while they’re penetrated by the machine. All the fun of a threeway without the complications of finding just the right person to join.
Popular Sex Machines to Consider
Intrigued? If you're considering trying one out, here are a few top models.
Before you whip out your credit card info, though, you should know that because of how powerful they are, sex machines aren’t like typical sex toys — they’re usually both significantly bigger and significantly more expensive.
The Sybian
One of the most tried and true sex machines on the market, The Sybian has remained a popular choice among sex machine enthusiasts since its launch in the late 1980s. Its vibrating base comes with four different attachments that include different textures to stimulate the clitoris and perineum, along with dildo attachments of varying sizes, designed to hit the most "important parts" all at once. Though The Sybian is geared toward female pleasure, two partners can use the device at once, allowing both bodies to be close to one another while being stimulated. It also features a 45-day money-back guarantee.
