8 Best Handjob Machines That Will Do The Stroking For You [2023]

I have tested the best handjob machines available on the market. Read on to discover the handjob toys and simulators that will suit your wishes best!

I have used male masturbators (or strokers, or pocket pussies… whatever you call them) for over a decade.

And believe me, I always had an earth shatterin’, sweat drippin’, eye rollin’, toe curlin’ GOOD time.

The thing is… while it feels great, I have to do all the work.

So, over the years, I tried and tested different handjob machines. Some were worthy of being thrown away and forever forgotten, while others landed into highly-coveted real estate on the front of my shelf.

And they made their way into this list. So you don’t have to go through that grueling (and quite pricey) trial-and-error yourself.

In this article, I’ve compiled the top seven handjob machines that give you the best bang for your buck.

Top 3 Handjob Machines in 2023

The Best Handjob Machines

Two words: versatile and interactive.

The Handy is, hands down, a revolutionary HJ machine. The variety of personalization it offers is just impressive. 

It strokes you – in the grip, stroke length, and speed that you want. I like how I can vary slow, long strokes and fast, short pumps depending on my mood. 

You don’t have to worry about its girth as you can adjust the velcro strap for the penis sleeve to your size and preferred tightness.

Its free sleeve is detachable, so you may use your favorite sleeve like Tenga’s or Fleshlight’s as long as its diameter isn’t bigger than 2.8”. 

But The Handy really shines in its interactive features.

If you’re using it for solo play, you can sync it with videos from porn sites (including VR), or you may use your own videos and scripts.

For partnered play, you can pass the control to your partner in real time, which is great for long-distance sessions (or when your OH is across the room). Just share your Connection Key with your partner, and instruct them to visit https://handyfeeling.com/remote – no need to install anything!

At a price below $200, this toy is such a steal considering all its features.

It’s wired – which has its pros and cons. This one’s not for you if you’re looking for a handjob machine you can bring with you on the go. The Handy needs to be plugged in, so you can only use it in areas with an outlet.

On the other hand, it’s more compact (since it doesn’t use bulky batteries) and its motor is more powerful. The Handy packs the fastest stroke in this line of masturbators of up to a whopping 10 strokes per second. That’s 600 strokes a minute!

Keon is the newest automatic masturbator from Kiiroo. You can play with it manually, controlling the stroke speed and length. What makes Keon shine, though, is its’ seamless, fast and easy Bluetooth connectivity.

Similar to The Handy, Kiiroo Keon lets you synchronize it to porn videos and VR content. POV-porn enthusiasts will enjoy getting stroked while joining in their favorite AV.

If you close your eyes, it feels like being ridden by your favorite porn star – especially if she’s one of the 8 options from the Feel Stars Strokers lineup.

Keon works really well for long-distance plays too. If you and your partner have Kiiroo masturbators, you can connect both devices. Both machines react to each other when synchronized, giving you an exhilarating interactive sextivity despite the distance.

If you are a FLyer, you can use your favorite Fleshlight sleeve inside the Feel Stroker. It might be a tight fit, so it is best to stick to the Feel Stars Strokers. I’m excited to see how the collection grows soon and which stars will be added next.

Autoblow AI is designed to simulate fellatio. And I must say, it delivers its claims well.

It has a very soft and smooth silicone sleeve that feels good to the touch. As the gripper grasps the penis and massages it, the sleeve’s ribbed internal structure delivers a sensation similar to getting head.

The machine comes with a free mouth orifice. But if you want more variety, you may add its butt and vagina orifices into your cart.

Autoblow AI has 9 modes you can play around with. The 10th mode, or AI mode, combines the different techniques at random. This gives you a more realistic experience you’ll never anticipate what stroke it does – just like in real life.

If you are too sensitive, this might not be for you. Its intensity isn’t gradual, so you’ll quickly be swept in the thrusting when you insert your penis – unless you’re controlling it manually.

If you’re a FLyer with a wide range of Fleshlights on your shelf, it’s best if you get the Fleshlight Universal Launch.

It’s compatible with almost all of the regular-sized Fleshlights like Fleshlight Girls, Sex In A Can, and Fleshlight Go. 

The varied options give varied sensations. The Universal Launch’s grips don’t just let you easily hold the toy. They also give you smooth access to its buttons so you can quickly adjust the settings, stroke speed, length, and position to your liking. 

The smartphone mount is a nifty feature! If you like watching porn (I mean, who doesn’t?), it gives you a perfect view of your phone screen right in front of you as it masturbates you.

Universal Launch is not for the impatient man. It charges for 6 hours, but the use time is only 1-2 hours.

If you want to be efficient, charge it during your sleeping hours, so it’s ready when you (or your member) are awake. *wink*

The Fleshlight Quickshot Launch is built specifically for the smaller, more compact, and cheaper Quickshots. So if you have (or prefer) the QS masturbators, get this one instead of the Universal Launch.

If you’re a lights-on person and visual stimuli turn you on, you’d enjoy the QS Launch. The QS sleeve is transparent and open-ended, so you can really see what’s going on in there (in all its textured glory) as the toy masturbates you.

Since it’s smaller, you can be more adventurous with it. The full-sized Fleshlights usually only let you do the up-and-down motion. But with the Quickshot, you can twist it here and there and experience sensations you’ve never felt before.

Like the Universal Launch, it also has a smartphone mount. Bring some extra tissues just in case you shoot your cum on your phone screen (remember: the sleeve is open-ended).

Couple rings. Couple shirts. And, of course, couple masturbators.

Lovense Max 2 doesn’t just let your partner control it remotely. It pairs and connects you and your partner’s devices (Max, Max 2, or Nora – Lovense’s vibrator for women) for the closest-thing-to-real-life-long-distance sex.

Both masturbators react based on you and your partner’s movements. As I thrust into Max 2, Nora responds to my SO by vibrating and rotating. Safe to say, there’s something kinky and out-of-this-world from such an experience.

Aside from a duo play, Max 2 can be used for solo sessions. Its air suction technology feels like getting a BJ.

It even has strong contractions. It grips and twists the penis in all angles, bringing me to the edge within minutes.

Max 2 has some default patterns. So if you’re one to always want variety and easily gets bored, it’s better to look elsewhere.

Kiiroo Onyx+ has shown some significant improvements from its predecessor.

I can recommend this for anyone looking for some good, contracting sensations. It has 10 contracting rings throughout the sleeve’s length, powered by a rotating motor that expands and contracts on the penis.

The result? 

Overall, a realistic experience that feels good. But its price point is a little steep when compared to other similar products available in the market today with similar features. 

One good reason for you to choose this is if your partner uses Kiiroo as well. It syncs and pairs with other Kiiroo products, which makes for a pleasure long-distance play session. 

If you crave a toy that would actually stroke you, you might be better off Keon.

If you’re looking for something really extra, I have just the thing for you. This is easily the most powerful and versatile option on this list. 

Turns out fucking machines aren’t just for those who want to be penetrated. This sex machine includes a ton of different attachments, including a male masturbator. So you can use it to beat your meat or pound your buns, depending on what you enjoy. 

You can also enjoy this machine with a partner if they’re more interested in the dildo attachments.

The attachments themselves aren’t the best quality but can be easily switched out with any toy that has a Y-NOT or 3XLR attachment.

It reaches an incredible 420 strokes per minute, so get ready to have some fun. You adjust the speed with a gradual speed dial, so you can ramp up or down slowly and smoothly.

And, the best part? It’s really affordable.

Shopping for a Handjob Machine: Here’s What You Should Know

Accommodate a range of penis sizes

There’s not much point in buying a handjob machine that you can’t squeeze into or one that leaves you feeling understimulated. Equally unpleasant is having your dick hit the bottom of the sleeve when you’re only halfway in. 

That’s why measurements are so important.

Pull out the ol’ measuring tape and jot down your dimensions when you’re fully erect. You’ll want to compare these to sleeve sizes – canal diameter and insertable length are the important measurements. 

Luckily, sleeves come in a range of sizes, and some are even adjustable.

Read our guide on how to measure your penis and girth size to learn more tips.

---

Material matters in maintenance

When it comes to male sex toys, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is often used. Especially when you want it to feel as realistic as possible.

TPE has a soft skin contact feel. It’s ultra-soft, flexible, and close to how human skin feels. 

That said, TPE is porous. When you don’t clean it well, bacteria and mold could grow in the holes of the toy. Gross!

To be safe and extend its longevity, wash and clean your sleeves after using them. Most sleeves are easy to clean, so it’s not that much of a chore. 

Also, skip the Amazon and Wish marketplaces. Only buy from reputable sources to ensure the quality of your sex toy’s materials.

---

Assessing the levels of intensity

Even if you’re not sensitive, the intensity could feel different when using handjob masturbators.

These devices grip, squeeze, and stroke your penis. The faster it strokes, the tighter it would feel.

Using sleeves that are too textured or too tight might feel more intense than your usual experience or preference.

Most sleeves from self-stroking masturbators are removable. As long as you can find compatible sleeves, you can freely experiment with different textures and tightness that suit what you like.

The experience is always fun, exciting, and new.

---

Look for functionality

Many handjob machines are not completely hands-free. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

The main appeal of auto-strokers is to give you the maximum benefits with as minimal effort on your part as possible. 

For some, you can go hands-free by propping it on pillows or getting a good position by lying down on your back.

For most of these HJ machines, you need to hold it in place and let it do the stroking. You avoid spraining your arm (come on, only The Handy masturbator can do 10 strokes per second) and you can even control the sex toy’s speed, strokes, and intensity.

---

Texture of the masturbator’s canal

The amazing thing about handjob machines is that they can offer you any texture or sensation you wish to experience. You could just choose a plain smooth sleeve if you want to keep things super simple, but most people go for a canal with ridges, bumps or knobs, or a combination of all three. 

These add a whole world of extra stimulation along your shaft, and if you get a handjob machine with interchangeable sleeves, you’ll literally never get bored.

---

Blowjob Machines vs. Handjob Machines

The difference between these two varieties of self-strokers is the types of sensations they offer. 

A handjob machine will try to mimic the consistent grip and up-and-down motion of a handjob or of penetrative sex, while a blowjob machine is much more focused on the licking, sucking, and slurping feelings of good oral sex.

Usually, a handjob machine will have a stronger grip, more consistent movement, and higher speeds. On the other hand, a blowjob machine will be less predictable and have more suction than grip.

In a Venn Diagram of handjob and blowjob machines, you see a nice overlap in the middle where the two meet. Some machines offer the best of both worlds with interchangeable orifices and a variety of settings that can be adjusted to provide whatever sensation you like.

---

The bells and whistles

Sextech gets better and smarter as time goes by. Each day, we are getting closer to simulating the sensations of real sex. 

Handjob machines are some of the more revolutionary innovations.

Today’s automatic handjob machines syncs with video content, giving you a 3D experience when watching your favorite porn. And then, virtual reality ups the ante.

In a long-distance relationship? No worries – you can still share the intimacy with your partner even if you’re not in the same city or continent, even. Both your devices will connect and pair, reacting to each other’s stimulations. 

---

Okay – now, how much will it cost

Handjob machines usually don’t come cheap.

But they’re usually not exorbitantly priced as well.

In most cases, a good investment goes a long way. Of course, knowing your budget should be one of the first things you should consider so you can narrow down your options on what you’re actually willing to spend.

The most expensive products aren’t always the best option for you.

But cheap products are cheap for a reason. They might not last as long or they might be made from unsafe materials. You may also find yourself spending more by buying additional products to fill in your toy’s missing features.

Good self-stroking machines usually go around $200.

As to your Frequent Qs

What is a handjob machine?

A handjob machine is exactly what it sounds like – an automated sex toy designed to give you a well-executed handjob while you lay back and enjoy yourself. They’re typically tube-shaped and come with a variety of textures and patterns for intense stimulation.

---

How to use a handjob machine?

Solo Play

If you’re looking for some solo pleasure, you’ve come to the right place. Handjob machines are most often used to enhance masturbation and give your poor wrists a day off.

Grab some lube, some tissues, and your favorite porn (or simply your imagination), and get comfortable! Put some of the lube on yourself and a generous amount inside the sleeve, then just sit back and relax while the machine does the work.

---

With a Partner

If your partner is up for trying something new, this could be a great way to introduce a fun and exciting experience into the bedroom. Talk about it first to see how they feel and if they’re open to it. 

Sharing your pleasure with each other can be an intimate bonding experience and can invite your partner into knowing you even more deeply. It’s also great for mutual masturbation sessions if your partner wants to bring their own pleasure toys! 

If you want the thrill of bringing a third into the bedroom without actually taking that step with another person, a handjob machine can be fun for fantasy roleplay.

---

Interactive

The possibilities are practically endless when it comes to interactive sextech in handjob machines. 

You can share long-distance playtime with a partner by handing over the controls. If you like POV porn and want in on the action, there are plenty of models that can be synced to your adult video of choice. Or if you like to frequent cam sites, there are even interactive options for that.

---

Do handjob sex toys feel like the real deal?

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective), NO.

But would you really want it to feel like the real deal? With sex handjob sex toys, there are more sensations you can’t encounter in real life.

Hands can be too flat and smooth, while the sky’s the limit for the textures of sleeves. They also go from 4 to 10 strokes PER SECOND, and without stopping or slowing down at that.

---

What’s the best position when using a handjob masturbator?

Most people find that laying on their back is the most comfortable position. If you’re using a handjob machine with handles, this will probably be the most comfortable position. It’ll give you easy access to hold on while making sure those handles aren’t jutting into your hips or belly.

That said, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Experiment with different positions to find what works best for you!

---

What lube to use with a handjob toy?

I always recommend water-based lube for any sex toy since it’s universally compatible with any material. It’s also available in a variety of different consistencies and is good for sensitive skin.

If you really have your heart set on oil- or silicone-based lube for some reason, make sure your toy isn’t made out of silicone. These kinds of lube will damage your new handjob machine, which is no good for your self-pleasure OR your wallet.

---

How to clean handjob sex machines?

HJ machines are mechanical devices, so they shouldn’t be cleaned anywhere that’s wet. 

(No bringing in showers, please!)

If you have juice splatters, simply wipe the toy’s surface with a slightly damp cloth.

Meanwhile, sleeves should be taken out and washed carefully. Sleeves from The Handy and Kiiroo Onyx+ can be turned inside out for better cleaning. Kiiroo’s and Fleshlight’s sleeves are open-ended on both sides, so it doesn’t need to be inverted.

After cleaning, dry well before storing to avoid foul odors.

Adieu, mildew!

What other things do I need to know about handjob machines?

Power Source

Make sure you know how your new handjob machine is powered before you buy it. Some take batteries, some are rechargeable, and some need to be plugged into a wall outlet.

---

Remote Control

Check if the remote control needs separate batteries to be able to operate. Even though your handjob machine is rechargeable, doesn’t mean the remote is.

---

App Connectivity

If you’re planning on using your machine with app controls, make sure you have a new phone and a good internet connection. This is especially true if you want to use long-distance controls (the same goes for your partner).

---

Virtual Reality

It may go without saying, but VR goggles are a necessary accessory for any VR features you want to use. They won’t come with the handjob machine.

---

SenseMotion Technology

The idea of a motion sensor sounds good in theory, but in practice, it can cause your handjob machine to stop and start erratically when you’re thrusting or moving around in the throes of pleasure.

---

Vibration settings

If realism is what you want, variable vibration settings might break you out of your fantasy. No real person’s body has a vibrating function, let alone several.

---

Accessories

It’s often possible to customize your experience with extra accessories. A lot of the time, they don’t even have to be the same brand, so shop around and see what works.

---

Conclusion

Handjob machines take the “hand” out of the equation.

Not knowing where to start is always intimidating. With the right knowledge, you can shop for the right handjob machine without breaking the bank.
