Posted on 20/04/2023 and updated on 03/06/2025 by Claire

Using a sex machine for your solo session is an absolutely unforgettable experience. More powerful than classic dildos or vibrators, a sex machine, or fucking machine, delivers absolutely fabulous sensations.

In this how-to guide, the LOVE Team will teach you how to get the most out of your sex machine to enjoy this sensual experience in a safe and comfortable way.

1. Pick the perfect sex machine

Before you dive right into things, make sure you take some time to choose the perfect sex machine. Depending on what you’re looking for, there are a number of criteria to take into account: the power of the motor, the type of movements it performs, its compatibility with other accessories… Lucky for you, the LOVE Team has put together a handy little guide, How to Choose a Sex Machine, to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

2. Choose a stable surface

First and foremost, choose a flat, stable surface! Otherwise, your sex machine could become unstable while you’re using it. If your toy is unstable, you won’t experience its full power and it may even be dangerous to use. Opt for a table instead of a bed or any other soft surface.

3. Get to know your machine

You need to learn how to operate your machine and get used to its settings and features. Read the instructions carefully to get the most out of your machine.

The LOVE Team recommends that you test your machine first. Explore all of the different settings to check that everything is working properly before starting your session.

4. Choose the right attachment for you

A sex machine can have several attachments: dildo, vibrator, masturbator, etc. Just choose the kind of stimulation you prefer! Read the instructions to ensure that the attachment is correctly secured to the device, and check that it holds in place by turning on the machine.

Are you a beginner who knows nothing about using a sex machine? Or do you have some experience and want to know what kind of sex machine is best for you? Don't forget to check out our How to choose a sex machine guide: it will answer all your questions and help you find the right machine for you.

5. Use lube

Lubricants will make the attachment easier to use and increase your pleasure. Feel free to apply a generous amount to the attachment of your choice. Opt for a water-based lubricant, which is compatible with the vast majority of sex toys (especially silicone toys).

For an anal pleasure session, use a special (thicker) anal lubricant.

6. Don't neglect foreplay

If your body isn’t ready, the intense stimulation of your sex machine may make penetration painful. The right kind of foreplay will allow your body to relax so that you can fully enjoy your toy’s powerful performance.

For the perfect experience, light a few candles, watch your favourite kind of porn, and explore your body. You’ll enjoy your machine all the more!

7. Try out different positions

You’ll love exploring all of the possibilities your sex machine has to offer! By switching up positions, you'll be able to explore an infinite range of unexpected pleasures. Our LOVE Team recommends the following positions:

Doggy style: This classic position allows you to control the intensity and depth of penetration.
Missionary: you'll need to make a few adjustments for this position, either by adjusting the arm of the machine or by stacking cushions to position yourself at the right height.
Standing: During penetration, stand in front of the machine (which should be lower than your pelvis) and lean forward slightly.

LOVE Team Tip

A sex machine is designed for solo pleasure, but you can always invite your partner to join your session. The sexy show will really turn your partner on and both of you will want to move on to the main event.

8. Clean your sex machine after every session

If you take proper care of your sex machine by cleaning it, you'll be able to enjoy it for years and keep it running in top condition.

After every session, clean the attachments with warm water and mild soap. You can also use a special cleaner for sex toys. Rinse well and allow to dry.

Store your sex machine in a clean, dry place away from prying eyes. Store the attachments in an airtight box, far from light and dust.

If you have any questions about how to use your sex machine, ask our LOVE Team experts! They'll be able to advise you so you can get the most out of your toy and enjoy exceptional solo play.
