Does a Sex Machine Really Feel Like the Real Thing?
Updated: 8 hours ago
Does a sex machine actually feel like having sex with another person? It's probably one of the first things people wonder when they come across one.
After all, watching a machine in action is one thing, but knowing what it actually feels like is another.
The truth is, a sex machine can feel surprisingly realistic. Obviously, it's never going to be exactly the same as being with someone, but when it comes to the actual movement, it can come pretty close.
And there's something nice about being in total control!
What Does a Sex Machine Actually Feel Like?
If you've only ever used vibrators or handheld dildos, a sex machine is quite a different experience.
Rather than having to move a toy yourself, the machine moves it backwards and forwards for you, creating a repeated thrusting motion.
You can choose how fast it moves, and depending on the machine, adjust the length of the stroke too.
The movement stays consistent, so once you've found a speed you like, you can leave it there without having to do anything.
That's something you can't really achieve with a handheld toy, especially if you're using it for a while.
And because you haven't got to keep moving your hand, you're free to get comfortable and enjoy yourself.
It's Not All About Going Faster
It’s not the case that the faster a sex machine goes, the better it's going to feel.
Sometimes a slower, steady movement feels much better than going at full speed. It really depends on what you enjoy.
Being able to change the speed is one of the things that makes a sex machine so versatile. You can take your time, try different settings and work out what feels best.
Some machines also let you adjust the stroke length, so you're not limited to the same movement every time.
You might prefer short, gentle movements one day and then something completely different the next.
Having those options means you can use the same machine in lots of different ways.
Does the Dildo Make a Difference?
The machine itself is obviously the most important part, but choosing the right dildo can make a real difference to how it feels.
If you're after something that feels more lifelike, a realistic dildo can really add to the experience.
There's loads to choose from too. Different sizes, shapes, softer or firmer materials, curved designs and textured dildos. You might find one you absolutely love and like to use regularly, or you might prefer having a few different ones to change between.
We've got a wide range of Clic Loc™ dildos that click straight into compatible Thumpr™ machines, so you wont need a separate adaptor.
We've also got a range of Thumpr™ Clic Loc™ attachments and accessories, including Vac-U-Lock™ compatible adaptors, suction cup dildo holders, clamps and extension rods. They're all designed for use with compatible Thumpr™ sex machines, giving you even more choice when it comes to using different toys.
What About Using a Sex Machine With Someone Else?
Lots of couples enjoy using sex machines together, sometimes just to try something new together or just change things up a little.
You can use one as part of your usual sex life rather than seeing it as a replacement for anything.
And with the machine taking care of the movement, neither person needs to do all the work.
This can be a fun way to bring something different into the bedroom.
Is It Worth Buying a Sex Machine?
If you enjoy sex toys and like the idea of hands-free pleasure, there's a good chance you'd enjoy having a sex machine.
They're especially appealing if you want something that offers more movement than a traditional vibrator or handheld dildo.
You don't need loads of experience either. Once you've got used to the controls and worked out how to position your machine, they're very easy to use.
There are compact models that are easier to store, as well as larger machines with more adjustment options.
It's worth thinking about where you're planning to use yours before deciding which one to buy.

Does It Feel Like Real Sex?
In terms of the physical movement, it does feel similar.
A sex machine isn't going to give you the warmth, closeness or personal connection of another person, but it can recreate the steady thrusting movement really well with the right setup and attachment.
That’s actually the point. You're not buying a machine to replace someone. You're buying it to get a different experience.
You can use it whenever you fancy, choose your own pace and try different attachments without having to rely on anyone else.
Whether you enjoy using toys on your own or with a partner, it's another way to have a bit of fun.
If you've been thinking about trying one yourself, have a look at our range of Thumpr™ sex machines. We've got everything from compact models to larger, fully adjustable machines. You might be surprised at just how much you enjoy it.
