The goal of a sex machine isn't to replace your partner—it's to support the kind of pleasure and communication that make partnered sex deeply satisfying for everyone involved. For many couples, these devices actually extend the amount of time they spend engaged in mutual play, offering new ways to connect physically and emotionally.
Modern thrusting dildos have come a long way from their clunky, clinical past. No longer just props for porn sets or niche fetish gear, today's thrusting dildos are thoughtfully designed for real people and real pleasure in the real world.
Used well, they're not a stand-in for intimacy; they're a tool that actively enhances it. With rhythmic, powerful stimulation and hands-free control, these machines can bring more variety, deepen physical connection, and encourage open conversations about desire.
Why Couples Are Turning to Machines
There's more than novelty behind the growing popularity of sex machines. A decade of research, reviews, and sex educator feedback reveals concrete benefits that extend well beyond the orgasm itself.
More Reliable Pleasure
Clinical studies have shown that vibrator users, especially women, report higher levels of arousal, more frequent orgasms, and greater overall satisfaction. Partners benefit too, with many reporting reduced performance anxiety and better sexual connection as a result.
New Sensations that Break Routine
Adding a thrusting dildo introduces patterns and stimulation that the human body simply can't replicate. Psychologists highlight novelty as a powerful way to re-engage desire, especially in long-term relationships.
Trying new roles, switching things up, or handing full control to the machine; it all adds to the fun of discovering together.
Improved Communication
Operating a toy together naturally opens up discussion: you talk about speed, angle, and intensity; you give real-time feedback. Many couples find that these conversations spill over into broader communication, strengthening the relationship beyond the bedroom.
Closing the Orgasm Gap
Sex machines make it easier to apply clitoral, G-spot, or frenulum stimulation during penetrative play. Having this level of consistency can help balance satisfaction levels, especially for couples in mixed-sex relationships where orgasm frequency often skews heavily toward one partner.
Greater Stamina, Accessibility, and Less Pressure
Motorized thrusting removes the physical effort from long sessions, which helps both with fatigue and general performance anxiety. It's also a huge win for those with chronic pain, mobility limitations, or grip issues.
Elements such as adaptive features and remote controls mean more people can participate fully in partnered pleasure.
Thrusting Dildos That Work Well in Partnered Play
Not every thrusting dildo is built equally, and for couples, ease of use and versatility matter just as much as raw power. To help best guide your decision, here's a look at a few standout devices for you and your partner to consider.
Jackie: The Crowd-Pleaser
Jackie is a great entry point; its lifelike silicone shaft offers around 7 inches of insertable length with an average girth, making it approachable but still deeply satisfying.
The internal motor handles up to 140 thrusts per minute with a 3.3-inch stroke range, and it doesn't stall out under pressure. The design allows flexion in the shaft, meaning the movement stays smooth and safe even during intense use.
For couples, Jackie shines because it's flexible in form and function. It can be handheld, suctioned to a flat surface, or worked into partner sex as a "third" participant. Its soft entry and reliable speed controls mean both partners can ease into play and adjust as needed.
Enjoy a special bundle for couples including:
Velvet Thruster Prime with Jackie top, Partner Play Handle, Rose Slitoral Stimulator and Gleam Water-based Lubrincat for Sex toys.

Sammie: Size, Depth, and Drive
If Jackie is the all-rounder, Sammie is built for those who crave more; the insertable shaft is longer and significantly thicker, offering a fuller stretch and firmer pressure. Yet it still mounts to the same Prime base, with the same six-speed motor and battery power that allows for hours of continuous use and unbridled pleasure.
Couples who love deep penetration, A-spot or G-spot targeting, or pushing their limits often turn to Sammie. Its extra size and weight give it a slow, deliberate rhythm that pairs beautifully with edging, bondage, or even slow-build scenarios.

Lewis: Curved for Connection
Lewis is a distinctly curved thrusting dildo, but don't underestimate what that curve can really do. Designed to press against the front wall of the vagina or rectum, Lewis's uncut, thick silicone form delivers exceptional stimulation to the G-spot or prostate.
The thrusting mechanism moves the shaft in a powerful, deliberate motion that amplifies the curve's effectiveness. It's a favorite among those seeking precise internal massage, and it's especially popular during pegging or role reversal scenes.
The texture and uncut design offer added realism, while the machine helps make sure that the rhythm never slips.
Prime (Build Your Own): Custom-Fit for Couples
The Prime "Build Your Own" system is Velvet Thruster's most flexible option, offering couples the ability to customize their toy from the ground up. The powerful base delivers the same deep, rhythmic thrusts of up to 140 strokes per minute, with a 3.3-inch stroke length, but lets you choose exactly how that power feels and how it's used.
Pick your attachment from a range of heads designed for different sensations: realistic (like Jackie), extra-thick (Sammie), curved (Nanci or Lewis), or anal-focused (Walter). Swapping heads is easy, making this a practical choice for couples who have different preferences or those who like to experiment mid-session.
The modular design means you're not locked into one experience, and as your tastes evolve, the toy grows with you. So, whether you're easing into machine play or already building a collection, Prime gives you the freedom to create exactly what you want—together!

Getting the Most from Shared Sessions
Couples who thrive with thrusting dildos tend to approach them with curiosity and care, not just lust. Here are a few practical pointers for turning your first few sessions into something exciting and enjoyable:
- Set the mood intentionally: Machines aren't spontaneous the way sex sometimes is, so be deliberate. Carefully clean the toy, set up the surface, and have plenty of lube on hand.
- Use communication as foreplay: Talking through how it should feel, who's in control, and what signals to use builds anticipation and trust.
- Start slower than you think: Even experienced users are often surprised by how quickly a motor can escalate intensity, so try to let the body adapt before ramping things up.
- Switch it up: Use your hands, mouths, or another toy alongside the machine to keep things dynamic. Sex machines are great multitaskers, but they're even better co-stars.
Make sure to debrief after and ask: What felt good? What didn't? What would you try next time? These talks help turn occasional toy use into a lasting part of your routine.
Velvet Thruster Never Loses Its Muster
Thrusting dildos from Velvet Thruster don't belong in a drawer labeled "too weird for us," they belong in the hands of couples who want more: more satisfaction, more creativity, more connection.
Start with Jackie's realism, step up to Sammie's power, get precise with Lewis's curve, or choose your own adventure with a buildable Prime model—whatever your pace, these machines evolve with you and your distinct tastes.
The goal isn't to replace your partner, it's to support the kind of pleasure and communication that really lasts. Ready to take your intimacy to another level? The machine's warmed up; all that's left is to press start.
