Spotlight

Machines: saddles and thrusters

There are two kinds. Saddle machines like the Sybian and Motorbunny are ridden: you sit astride, an attachment does the work, and your partner holds the controller. Thrusting sex machines stand or lie beside you and move an attachment in and out at a speed and depth you set. Handing the controller to your partner is one of the most intense experiences a couple can share, and power exchange without a single rope. We own and use both of the leading saddles. Here is how they differ.

Prices checked October 2026 on the makers' own sites and change often. Always check the current price before you buy.

Using a saddle machine safely

  • Agree a stop word and a hand signal; the rider can always dismount
  • Start on the lowest setting with plenty of water-based lubricant
  • Use a towel or cover, and clean attachments with toy cleaner after each use
  • Check the attachment material and lubricant are compatible

Making it a scene

The controller is the point. One partner rides, the other decides: speed, rotation, when to stop and when not to. Negotiate it like any power exchange, with limits and a safeword, and plan aftercare. Full guide coming soon.

Thrusting sex machines

A thrusting machine gives steady, tireless rhythm that hands and hips can't match, and a remote that is perfect for power exchange. Look for adjustable stroke length and depth, a stable base or mount, quiet motors, standard attachment fittings and an easy-to-reach stop button. Motorbunny's Buck combines a saddle with thrusting; dedicated machines come in tabletop, floor and handheld styles.

Safety with any machine

  • Set the shortest stroke and lowest speed first, then build up
  • The person on the receiving end can always reach the stop
  • Secure the machine so it can't shift or tip mid-session
  • Never leave anyone restrained with a machine running
  • For anal use, attachments must have a flared base
