Photographer Timothy Archibald recently published a book called Sex Machines about the quirky creators of homemade fuck-bots. Archibald was fascinated by the DIYers who keep their primitive sex machines in their bedrooms, garages, and living rooms. “To me this little subculture had everything in it I ever wanted that would allow me to tell a rich story about men, women, and America,” said the photographer. Here are some highlights of the people he met.
One husband and wife team created The Monkey Rocker, which looks like something you might exercise with—maybe a rowing machine—with a dildo in the center. “It doesn’t really surprise me that Dan came up with this. We aren’t an especially sexually obsessed couple, but Dan is a man. I mean, I don’t think he can help but think about these things, the sexual, the mechanical, the craftsmanship of it all,” the wife said. Eric Wilson of Love Locker made his sex machine as a way to indulge his wife’s fantasy about being with two guys: “…I wondered how much more real it would seem if I made an actual sex machine that was having sex with her as she was performing oral on me, or whatever. So I went out to the garage one day and started tinkering around, and eventually put together our first machine,” Wilson said. A woman who runs a legal brothel invented The Thrill Hammer, “a 450-pound vibrator capable of vibration speeds of up to 6,500 rpm and rotation speeds of 150 rpm. It combines an antique dentist chair, a large vibrator, and a computer monitor. Four tentacles extend around the chair and hold the monitor and the lighting systems.” Now that’s an impressive sex machine!
