Sex machines, often called fuck machines, are a different kind of product from vibrators or wearables. They're floor-standing machines built for one job: steady, powerful, hands-free penetration that no handheld toy can match. The Lovense Sex Machine is Lovense's full-size entry: a double-ended machine, with a dildo at each end of one thrusting rod, run through the same app as the rest of the range.

At $699 it's a big purchase. One motor thrusts at up to 300 strokes a minute, with a stroke you can adjust up to 11.4 cm, and two dildos are included, one for each end, so two people can use it at once. Add Vac-U-Lock compatibility and full app control, and you have a machine built around connectivity more than raw power.

The real question is whether $699 is justified, which depends on what the double-ended design and the Lovense app add to a category that has mostly been offline.

Who should buy the Sex Machine?

Design and build

The Lovense Sex Machine is a floor-standing device with a metal frame meant to sit on a flat surface. Lovense gives it as 607 × 252 × 292 mm and about 3.2 kg, so you can move it, but it needs its own spot in the room.

Buyers describe it as stable at high speed, without the wobble some cheaper plastic machines have, and it doesn't creep across the floor.

Double-ended: two people at once

Most home sex machines drive a single dildo. The Lovense Sex Machine has a dildo at each end of its thrusting rod, so two people can use it at the same time. One motor drives both ends, so they share the same speed and pattern.

For long-distance couples, a partner can take over the speed and patterns from anywhere through the app. In the same room, the second end means the machine can be shared rather than watched.

Motor: 300 strokes a minute, up to 11.4 cm

Up to 300 strokes a minute is a fast top speed for a home machine. At full speed it feels very different from a handheld thrusting toy: the rhythm stays exactly the same, without tiring or slowing, until you change it.

A stroke of up to 11.4 cm is long, far beyond what handheld thrusting toys move. Having it repeat up to 300 times a minute with no effort from you is the whole point of the machine.

App control: what Lovense adds

Most sex machines have a dial or a basic remote. The Lovense Sex Machine has a dial too, but it also connects by Bluetooth to the Lovense Remote app, with a speed slider, patterns and music sync. Over the internet, a partner can control it from anywhere.

Without the app

A power button and a speed dial: set the dial to OFF, press the button to switch on, then turn the dial to set the speed. Custom patterns, sound and music sync, and partner or long-distance control need the Lovense Remote app.

Setup and use

The Lovense Sex Machine arrives in parts that you assemble before first use, with the hardware included. Once it's built, you can move and adjust it without taking it apart.

For different positions (kneeling, on all fours, lying back), you adjust the angle and height. User reports consistently note that the first session involves some trial and error to find optimal arm positioning, but subsequent sessions are quick to set up once the preferred configuration is known.

Sex Machine specs at a glance

How the Sex Machine does in each use

With its double-ended design, Vac-U-Lock attachments and app control, the Sex Machine suits some uses better than others. From verified buyer feedback, here's where it earns its 5.0/5 for thrusting depth and what to expect.

Alone: hands-free penetration

This is what the Sex Machine is for, and where the long stroke and adjustable angle matter most. Once it's in position, it runs from the dial or the app with no effort from you: no tired arm, nothing to hold in place. Buyers consistently describe the weight and stability as essential to this experience: a machine that shifted at higher speeds would spoil the hands-free point.

With a partner: a third "partner" in the room

With a partner present, one of you can use it while the other runs the speed and patterns from the app, or you can both use it at once, one at each end, which a single-ended toy can't do. Buyers describe this as turning the toy into a shared activity rather than something one person uses while the other watches.

Content creation: app control for live audiences

For content creators, app control and Vac-U-Lock compatibility are the draw: viewers can change the speed and pattern live through Lovense's tip integrations, and creators can swap attachments for different content without buying a second machine. The 300 strokes/min ceiling gives a wide dynamic range from slow teasing to maximum intensity on demand.

Regular use: swapping attachments and setup

Because the Sex Machine includes two silicone dildos and accepts the wider Vac-U-Lock ecosystem, repeat sessions often involve swapping attachments to match mood or preference. Regular users describe settling into a routine (a favourite surface or bed height, a go-to attachment, a starting speed) that makes setup quick after the first few sessions, even if the first assembly and positioning take longer.

Who should skip the Sex Machine

The Sex Machine does one thing very well, deep hands-free thrusting from a double-ended machine, but its size, noise and focus make it the wrong pick in several situations. Look elsewhere if:

• You need something portable or travel-friendly. The Sex Machine is a floor unit that requires assembly, a power outlet, and storage space. The Spinel delivers thrusting in a handheld, battery-powered form that fits in a bag.
• You live in close quarters and need to keep noise down. At higher speeds you can hear the Sex Machine's motor in the next room. The Spinel thrusts too, and buyers rate it 4.4/5 for quiet.
• You want a heated sensation as part of the experience. The Sex Machine has no heating element at all. The Spinel warms to body temperature alongside its thrusting motion.
• You're new to thrusting toys and want to start smaller. Going straight to a floor machine with a stroke of up to 11.4 cm is a big leap if you've never tried thrusting before. The Gravity is a gentler, handheld introduction to the same category.
• You only want external clitoral stimulation. Everything that makes the Sex Machine what it is, from the thrusting rod to the Vac-U-Lock attachments and motor power, is built around penetration. The Ferri is built specifically for external-only use.

Getting the most out of the Sex Machine: setup and attachments

How much people enjoy the Sex Machine depends most on getting the setup, height and attachment right before judging it on speed. A few tips that keep coming up in buyer feedback:

Get the surface and height right first

The adjustable height is one of the Sex Machine's most useful features, but it only helps if the surface underneath is stable and at a workable level to begin with. Buyers who put it on a soft mattress or uneven floor report more wobble even at moderate speeds; a firm surface helps it stay put.

Start with an attachment you know

With two silicone dildos included and Vac-U-Lock opening up many third-party attachments, it's tempting to experiment straight away. For a first session, use one of the included dildos so you're only getting used to speed and depth, not an unfamiliar shape and size as well.

Build up speed gradually

With a range from slow and gentle up to 300 strokes a minute, going straight to a high setting overwhelms most first-time users. Buyers recommend starting near the bottom and working up gradually; the wide range only helps if you use the low end first.

Use plenty of lube and reapply often

At sustained high stroke counts, lubricant wears off faster than during manual use or with handheld toys. Plenty of water-based lube before you start, and more during longer sessions, keeps the motion smooth and stops the friction from becoming uncomfortable.

Sex Machine vs. fuck machines from other brands

The Sex Machine isn't the only motorized thrusting machine on the market. Here's how it stacks up against two well-known alternatives outside the Lovense ecosystem:

Buyer experiences

Is the Sex Machine worth $699?

At $699, the Sex Machine is the most expensive product in the Lovense range. Buyer ratings of 5.0/5 for thrusting depth and 4.7/5 for orgasm reflect how different it is from handheld toys: no tired arm, adjustable angle and height, and speed set on the dial or in the app. Buyers consistently highlight the stability and power as the primary reason the heavy weight is justified: a lighter machine would move or topple at higher speeds. Two silicone dildos are included, so no additional accessories are required for immediate use. If you want hands-free penetration with no effort and full app control, nothing else in the Lovense range does it this completely.

Final verdict

The Lovense Sex Machine scores 7.2/10. It pairs a double-ended thrusting machine with the full Lovense app and Vac-U-Lock compatibility, so it works with long-distance control, music sync and the rest of what the app offers. The price, mains power and lack of water resistance keep it from scoring higher.

The $699 price is the main barrier. If you're serious about sex machines, it's a strong choice. If you aren't sure you want one at all, the Spinel at $199 is a better first step, and it runs on the same app, so moving up later is easy.
