Ever since the dawn of human history, we’ve been looking for easier ways to get off. Bits of clay in the shape of a human phallus functioned as the first dildo, but it wasn’t until we developed motors that things really started getting exciting.

We’re not just talking about vibrators here. We’re talking about full-fledged machines with ropes and pulleys and thrusting action.

We’re talking about sex machines.

These “automated erotic stimulation devices” have given rise to a whole new class of porn, in which men can’t keep up with the power of 350 RPMs. Hop on FuckingMachines.com or Machine-SexSlaves.com for a glimpse.

Sex machines don’t come cheap (the Thrillhammer, which can be controlled over the internet, is over US$4000), which is why many sex machine connoisseurs prefer the garage-built variety. With nothing more than a few tools and an interest in home robotics, you can whip up your own sex machine, and Slashdong will teach you how to do it.

Slashdong.com is a blog devoted to “teledildonics,” or sex devices that can be controlled remotely. The blog contains guides to creating your own automated sex toy with nothing more than a basic knowledge of electronics. For example, ever thought of hooking up your vibrator to an X-Box? How about a sex machine made of Legos? Maybe not…

And if all this talk of circuits and robotics is too much for you, there are still lots of homemade sex toy options available that don’t require tools or technology. Check out Homemade-Sex-Toys.com for a tongue-in-cheek look at how household items can make ideal personal toys.

Ultimately, there is something that fascinates people about sex with a machine that will ensure its place in human fantasies. Perhaps it’s a metaphor for the way technology is permeating every aspect of our lives, or perhaps it’s nothing more than a futuristic fantasy appreciated by sci-fi fans. Either way, it’s not a far leap from sex with a vibrator to sex with a Sybian.
