Depending on the type of machine & the particular model, you can control the thrusting speed (up to 300 thrusts per minute !), the depth of each thrust, the angle of the dildo (useful for doggy style, or missionary, etc), and the height of the dildo.

These machines are big, heavy, and have tons of power. Mostly mains powered, they have dials that go up to 10 if you can take that much power.

Sex machines are great for masturbating on your own. They never say “no”, they keep going as lons as you want, and they can get into the perfect position every time. You can also use them with a partner & hand over the control to them.

Sex machines work for all genders – everybody can get their needes satisfied with a sex machine.

Hismith sex machines can be found all over the internet – they are sold in many online sex shops and also on Amazon & Ebay. The range is really vast – from hand-held thrusters through to table-top machines and on to free standing sex machines. The range also has two quality levels – basic & premium.

Do be careful with the dildos that come with the machines – many of them are not silicone & therefore cannot be fully sterilized (see our body-safe blog post). We suggest that you buy your own compatible silicone dildos to use on the Hismith.

This is a big favorite with many reviewers – it offers a great combination of power (240 strokes / minute), flexibility, and solid construction (stainless steel).

There is a mobile app to allow for remote play / control, and endless customizing of settings. Cost when new is about US$500.  

USA made sex machines that use top quality materials including high-grade stainless steel and premium silicone materials. They cover the whole range of machines from beginners to extra quiet to high-tech to super powerful. Made by a company that really cares about quality & reliability.

A strong & versatile machine. You can change the length of the stroke & the speed while the machine is moving! It has 10 preset patters such as fast in & slow out, one long & two short, etc. An LCD touch screen & remote control allows for easy control on the fly. New price approx US$1300. 

Assembled in USA, the Shockspot range is perfectly small – an 8″ thruster, a 12″ thruster and a double ended thruster. But each model is built to be versatile – they can be used in any position including lying, kneeling, sitting, and standing. Unusually for a sex machine, the collapse down to a small size & so are discreet. Top quality design & materials & with a price tag to match!

The Shockspot 12 inch is the larger model  which thrusts up to 12″ deep – should be enough for anybody, especially when combined with hundreds of thrusts per minute. This machine is high-tech and runs from your PC using custom software to allow eveything to be pre-programmed. 

If you only want the best, then this brand is waiting for you! New price is approximately US$2100.

There are hundreds of different sex machines out there – many are variants of the typical ones mentioned above. But there are also specialised ones that take a different slant on penetration.

Fort Troff specialize in gay / anal toys and their Fuck Machine 3.0 is regarded as the best gay sex machine available.

Always err on the side of sturdy & heavy – you don’t want it to move when in use otherwise you will have to chase it across the floor. Stainless steel where possible. Attachments should be silicone so thay can be sterilized after use.

Almost all sex machines are mains powered so lack of power is rarely an issue.  

If you are looking for a portable & discreet sex machine, you are not going to be thrilled with most machines. These toys tend to be big & bulky & if they are not heavy enough then they don’t work too well. Shockspot sex machines do collapse down to a small size, which helps a little.

Almost all machines allow you to make adjustments to suit your needs e.g. angle of the attachment, height, etc. But the more sophisticated ones allow you to adjust stroke depth, patterns of penetration, and so much more.

Most important point is to use silicone attachments – keep your toys body-safe & keep them sterilized. Many machines use vac-u-lock to attach your favorite toy to the machine.

Some of these machines can run really fast (300 strokes a minute) so watch out for hair / clothes / etc getting caught up. And always remember to use lots of lube to avoid any friction internally.  

Most of these machines need very little maintenance, but some require a spot of oil after 3 months to keep them running smoothly. Keep the nuts & bolts tightened up & the machone clean and it should last for a long time.

Typically, the number of functions increase as the price increases of  the machines. Whils the basic machines tend to have a wide selection of non-silicone dildoes, the more sophisticated machines can have remote controls, programmable stroke patters, mobile phone apps, etc.

The original brand on saddle machines invented by Dave Lampert in the 1980’s. They have even had mainstream media attention, being reviewed across the world. The sybian is heavy, loud, and not for the faint-hearted… you can’t use this discreetly!

The finish is synthetic leather & a variety of colors so it looks fairly classy (compared to the Tremor brand). 4 attachemnts are included, but sadly they are all made of TPE which cannot be fully sterilised (silicone attachments can be bought separately). Priced at around $1500.

Tremor  took the Sybian as their inspiration and then re-built it from the ground up with a lightweight, white base. and The controls and motors are all digital  and motors for more precise control. They have gone for a retro style desgn with a musical theme – the controls of the Temor look like guitar knobs and the two methods of stimulation are called Rock (vibration) and Roll (rotation / twirl).

Made in the USA. It is well thought out with a silicone pad for easy cleaning, and silicone attachments so it gets 10/10 for body-safety & cleanliness. 10 settings of “Rock” and “Roll” and 2 silicone attachments allow you to fine tune it to your body The design might not be for everyone, but at least they tried to be different. New price approx US$850.

Motorbunny have just 2 models – the original and a new one called the Buck. The original is very similar to the Sybian in looks, performance, and quality but it is is a little cheaper. However, yet again it is a very expensive machine that comes with TPE attachments making sterilizing virtually impossible. The buck is the all-singing-all-dancing young upstart in the Motorbunny lineup. 

The Buck is the flagship model for Motorbunny. It has 3 silicone attachments included, and it has a smartphone app with bluetooth connection. There are plenty of presets to try out on the app with different buzz and thrust settings. The Buck has replaced the “twirl” function with two separate thrusting motions for added stimulation. New price is approximately US$1650.

Cowgirl have positioned their saddle machine at the premium end of the market. It was described as  the “ultimate vibrator” in the press. All details have been carefully considered from the silicone attachments to the silicone base to stop it slipping when in use.

The Cowgirl Premium is made of vegan leather & the 2 included accessories are silicone (therefore fully sterilizable). It can be controlled via the corded remote control or from a smartphone app. There are 6 preset patterns, 360º swivel rotation, and low to high speed adjustment – so you can tailor it to your exact needs. Cost when new is about US$1450.

Most machines are plastic or pleather but make sure they are easy to clean after use. Attachments should definitely be silicone so thay can be sterilized after use – buy them as accessories if necessary.

All of the saddle machines are mains powered so lack of power is rarely an issue. A tip is to start slow and gentle & lube up heavily – level 10 is definitely not the place to start!

Saddle sex machines are fairly big pieces of kit. The Cowgirl is roughly 17″ x 13″ x 11″ and weighs 13kg. Some will fit under your bed, but you do need to work out where to keep it so it is easy to use but also not in the way.

You can adjust the dildo / pad that is used and also the speed, vibration,  & intensity of the machine. Some machines can also be used with wedges to use them on their sides / at an angle.

Can we say 3 words… silicone, silicone, & silicone. It is vital to be able to sterilize your attachments so please invest in silicone – it is a small extra cost on top of the machine price.

The only dangerous thing about these saddle machines is that you might get addicted. Always remember to use lots of lube to avoid any friction internally.

No real maintenance required. Just keep them clean & stored out of full sun.

The base unit of all the machines are fairly similar. Some are more tech based (smartphone apps, bluetooth, etc), and some are differenciated by premium quality & materials. Take a look at all the brands and work out which features are actually vital to you & what is your budget.

Hismith are more well known for their mains powered free-standing sex machines. This thruster is at the low end of their range in terms of power and thrust depth, but still the reviews have a common theme of “wow… so much power”, so obviously there is much more ooomph than a regular vibrator.

The Traveller isquite a high-tech piece of kit and comes with a remote control and also can be smartphone app controlled (great for control from elsewhere). The silicone dildo is 6.8″ long and an adapter allows you to swap it out for other dildos. There are 3 frequencies of thrust and 8 penetration patterns. There is also a suction cup to attch it to any smotth surface – a locking knob allows you to change the angle between 0 and 120 degrees to suit any position.

Unusually for any sort of sex machine, the Hismith Traveller Pro 2.0 is fairly quiet – the manufacturer claims that your moans will be more noisy than the machine. 

Priced at around $320.

Velvet Thrusters look like conventional vibrators (especially in comparison with all the other machines on this page). Their Prime range of thrusters include Nanci (specifically for the g-spot), Jacki & Sammie (Realistic shaped dildo – Jackie is skinnier, Sammie is thicker), Franki & Walter (Unique shapes – Frankie has a swirl pattern, Walter is more like a conventional anal dildo with 3 beads). There is also a mini range.

They actively encourage you to create your own unique thruster – you choose the shape of the dildo (Jackie, etc), the color of the dildo, the color of the base, and the accessories you want to be built in.

Once you have chosen your model, the specifications are fairly similar. The thruster can move at up to 140 strokes a minute (that should be more than enough!), and the length of each thrust is a very impressive 3.5″. The Velvet thrusters are all made of silicone so they are easy to keep sterilized. They have 6 speeds, the head can bend up to 90 degrees, and there is also an optional suction cup to allow you to attach it to any smooth surface & use it hands-free.

New price approx US$250.

Some hand-held thrusters have plastic bodies and silicone attachments, others are all silicone. All that really matters is that the part that enters your body is silicone. The high power of these toys means tat they have heavy duty motors inside.

No standard power – some are rechargeable (the Velvet has up to 8 hours of battery life), others are Mains powered.

Definitely bigger than a regular vibrator, but nowhere near the 15KG weight of a Sybian! The Hismith is 16″ x 9″ x 9″ so we guess you would call it medium / medium-large..

The Hismith does let you change angles & the attachements. Other than that it´s just speed & intensity & patterns.

The Velvet thruster is fully built when you order it so you need to choose the right attachment since you cannot change it later. The Hismithcomes with one attachment but you can swap it oput for others using the adaptor piece that comes with the machine.

No real danger from these machines – just don´t drop them on your toe !

No major maintenance required. 

If you kow exactly what you want, go for a pre-configured thruster, but if you will be looking to change & develop in the future, consider a machine with swappable attachments, angles, etc.

Let’s astart at the higher end of strokers with the Autoblow range. These guys have created the Autoblow 2, the XT, and now the A.I. (it stands for artificial intelligence). For the AI model, the Autoblow boffins watched and analysed thousands of minutes of porn videos (now that’s a great job!) to work out how real women perform blowjobs in order for the stroker to be as realistic as possible.

This is a mains powered stroker that is full of technology. 10 different patterns plus a “random” AI programme give you many different blowjob modes & speeds. It is made of ABS plastic outside and silicon inside (very unusual to use silicon, normally companies only use TPE / TPR internally). You just need to sit back & enjoy – the Autoblow AI does all the work for you & it fits all penis sizes. New cost is about $250.

The Fleshlight brand is so dominant in the stroker market that they are often all called Fleshlights (which must irritate the other companies soooo much!). Fleshlight started with a simple TPE vagina sleeve in a torch shaped hard case and rapidly became the number 1 selling male toy in the world. They developed the toy into mouths and anussssus (who knows the plural of anus – surely it cannot be ani ???). There is also a range of porn star fleshlights moulded from their actual body parts, and now they have high-end automatic machines like the Quicklaunch.

The turbo thrust model features 3 parts to the opening to simulate a great bvlowjob. Each section has a different feel so it can simulate the lips, the tongue and the throat. The Turbo Thurst also has a discreet case so you can take it travelling with attracting unwanted attention if your luggage is searched, and it has 3 different designs of sleeve for 3 different feels. It is TPE (so it is porus) so do be aware that it can’t be fully sterilised. 

New price approx US$70.

Kiiroo are an Amsterdam based group of tech-heads that have decided to explore the whole world in interactivity & connected applications. What this means in practice is that you can do things like… connect with 2D and virtual reality porn movies & your stroker will sync to the action on the screen. You can also connect to various porn webcam sites and the model can control your stroker from their location. If you have a partner with a Kiiroo, you can connect to them and you can control each other´s toys from the other side of the world. 

The Keon is certainly hi-tech, but it is also a great masturbator. Top quality design places it at the premium end of the market. It´s speed peaks at 230 strokes per minute, but it is far more about the sophisticated experience than about pure speed. Sadly, the internal sleeve (the “feel stroker”) is TPE so it cannot be fully sterilized – if you sold it you would need to sell the keon on its own.

New price is approximately US$280.

Lelo moved into mens strokers with the F1 kit a while ago & they have now updated it with version 2 which has solved some of the problems associated with version 1.

Lelo have certainly developed a unique piece of technology – it uses “sensonic technology”, amongst many other bells & whistles. This means that sonic waves get deep into the penis making it feelo all rumbly and tingly from all directions, not just a vibration applied to the outside nerves. The F1´s don´t move around so the basic concept is a high-end vibrating penis sleeve.  

This updated version of the F1S is available in blue & red and is made of ABS, aluminum, and a silicone sleeve. It has 2 motors with 15 intensity settings and a whole heap of tech wizardry to stimulate your penis. The silicone sleeve is great for body-safety because it can be fully sterilized but some reviewers say it is a little hard & firm (which is where porous TPE scores highly, even if it cannot be sterilized). If you are on the bigger side “down there” then you may find the F1S too tight. 

Cost when new is about US$230

Strokers tend to have a hard outer shell made from ABS plastic or aluminum, and an inner sleeve that is often made from TPE. TPE (a.k.a. Fanta Flesh, SuperSkin, etc, etc) cannot be fully sterilized so do take care to clean it as well as you can & don’t share your toy.

Strokers are powered by mains, rechargeable batteries, and good old hand-power. (We haven’t seen any clockwork ones yet…)

The Autoblow AI is one of the bigger strokers and yet it is only 8″ x 6″ x 4″ and the weight tends to be between 0.4Kg and 1kg so they are easy to keep somewhere discrete in your bedroom.

Any adjustments tend to be managed via the apps that control the high-tech strokers. For the hand-powered strokers like the Fleshlights, the only adjustments you can make are to go to the gym more often!

The only safety issue is probably friction – always remember to use lots of lube.

The cases are fine, just wipe clean. But you need to take care of the dilicate sleeves – clean thoroughly after use and make sure you dry them completely after cleaning. All the manufacturers offer details information on how to clean & store the toys for maximum life.

The high-tech strokers have more functions than you will ever need. Aimed at people that love to tinker, these toys can adjust every part of your experience. For the more basic strokers, there is no real funtionality except that they do their one job and they do it well.

Depending on the type of machine & the particular model, you can control the thrusting speed (up to 300 thrusts per minute !), the depth of each thrust, the angle of the dildo (useful for doggy style, or missionary, etc), and the height of the dildo.

These machines are big, heavy, and have tons of power. Mostly mains powered, they have dials that go up to 10 if you can take that much power.

The Autoblow AI is one of the bigger strokers and yet it is only 8″ x 6″ x 4″ and the weight tends to be between 0.4Kg and 1kg so they are easy to keep somewhere discrete in your bedroom.

Any adjustments tend to be managed via the apps that control the high-tech strokers. For the hand-powered strokers like the Fleshlights, the only adjustments you can make are to go to the gym more often!

The only safety issue is probably friction – always remember to use lots of lube.

The cases are fine, just wipe clean. But you need to take care of the dilicate sleeves – clean thoroughly after use and make sure you dry them completely after cleaning. All the manufacturers offer details information on how to clean & store the toys for maximum life.

The high-tech strokers have more functions than you will ever need. Aimed at people that love to tinker, these toys can adjust every part of your experience. For the more basic strokers, there is no real funtionality except that they do their one job and they do it well.
