How to Use a Sex Machine Properly: Preparation, Use and Safety

A sex machine moves a dildo or another suitable attachment automatically. Depending on the model, it produces thrusting, rotating or vibrating movements. Some devices stand on a frame, while others are used on a seat. Unlike a hand-held sex toy, the movement carries on by itself once the machine is switched on. That is why it is important to set the machine up correctly and to be able to stop it at any time. What should you look out for the first time you use one? Which attachments are suitable, and what is the difference between vaginal and anal use?

1. How does a sex machine work?

A classic sex machine, also known as a fucking machine, uses a motor to move an attached dildo back and forth. With many models you can adjust the speed. Some also offer an adjustable stroke length or angle. The design varies from device to device:

  • Thrusting machines: The attachment moves back and forth. The frame can often be adjusted in height and angle.
  • Compact sex machines: They need less space and, depending on the design, can be set up or held in the hand.
  • Seat and riding machines: The moving attachment is usually located beneath a seat.
  • Rotating models: They create rotating movements instead of classic thrusting movements.

Which features are actually included depends on the model. You can find an overview of the different designs in our sex machines.

2. What should you prepare before use?

Before you use a sex machine for the first time, you should test it without any body contact. Place the device on a stable, level surface and start at the lowest speed. Check the following:

  • Stability: The machine must not slip or tip over.
  • Fixing: The attachment must sit securely in the holder provided.
  • Stroke length: Check how far the attachment moves.
  • Controls: The stop function must be within reach at all times.
  • Clearance: Cables, clothing and other objects must not get caught in moving parts.

If your machine has app or remote control, you should also know how to switch the device off directly in case the connection is interrupted.

3. Which speed and position are suitable?

Start with a slow movement. This makes it easier to judge how the attachment moves and whether the position is comfortable. Besides speed, two other factors matter: the stroke length and the angle. A long stroke can be uncomfortable even at a low speed. An attachment that is poorly aligned can also put pressure on sensitive areas of the body. So choose a stable, comfortable position from which you can move away from the attachment at any time. If your device offers several settings, change only one of them at first. If you feel pain, numbness or uncomfortable pressure, stop the machine immediately.

4. Which dildos and attachments fit a sex machine?

Not every dildo is compatible with every sex machine. Some models use special connection systems such as Vac-U-Lock. Others need suitable adapters or manufacturer-specific mounts. Only use attachments that are intended for your machine or expressly approved for it. Pay attention to material, size, shape and weight. A heavy metal attachment can put a different strain on the mount than a light silicone dildo. Length also plays a role, as it affects how far the attachment reaches with each movement. For anal use, an attachment must also be expressly suitable for anal play and have a secure flared base. The fixing on the machine alone is not enough.

5. What matters for vaginal and anal use?

For both types of use, a controlled movement and a suitable attachment are key. There are, however, some differences.

Vaginal use

Make sure the attachment moves at a comfortable angle and does not exert strong pressure. Start with a short stroke length if it is adjustable. If needed, a lubricant that suits the material can reduce friction. A particular dildo shape does not guarantee G-spot stimulation. Whether and how an area is touched also depends on your body position and the alignment.

Anal use

Anal use calls for particular care. The anus does not produce its own lubrication, so plenty of suitable lubricant is important. Use only attachments that are suitable for anal use and have a secure flared base. Start slowly and avoid sudden changes in speed or depth. A particular shape does not guarantee prostate stimulation either. If you experience pain, numbness or bleeding, you must stop immediately. Persistent discomfort should be checked by a medical professional. An attachment that has been used anally must not subsequently be used vaginally without proper cleaning or a new protective cover.

6. Which safety rules apply during use?

A sex machine should remain controllable at all times. It is especially important that you can switch the machine off immediately. This also applies if a second person is operating it. If you use the device together, agree beforehand who changes the settings and which signal means the machine has to be stopped. Avoid positions or restraints from which you cannot quickly move away from the attachment. Also switch the machine off before changing attachments or adjusting the holder. Unusual noises, strong heating or loose parts are reasons to stop using the device until the cause has been found.

7. How do you clean and care for a sex machine?

When cleaning, you should distinguish between the attachment and the electrical machine. Detachable dildos and other attachments are cleaned according to the material and manufacturer's instructions. The motor housing must not simply be held under water unless the manufacturer expressly permits it. Wipe suitable surfaces according to the instructions and make sure no moisture gets into electrical connections. Regularly check the fixings and the surface of the attachments. Damaged parts should not be used any further.
