Written by sex journalist and expert, Gabrielle Kassel, for The Cowgirl.
Hello, proud new owners of The Cowgirl or The Unicorn! Congratulations on your recent investment in your pleasure. This FAQ is your one-stop source to getting started with your sex machine. Below, all of your pressing sex machine questions answered.
How do I set up the sex machine for my first ride?
Eager to get your machine from the box and into your bedroom? Sex educator Jessica Drake breaks down how to equip and clean your sex machine for your first ride in the below video.
Not a fan of videos? Here’s the short of it: Unpack the device and all of the accompanying plugs, controllers, and gear. Then, set it up exactly as described in the user manual (pages 2 to 4).
What attachment should I purchase and use?
Your sex machine came with two attachments: The Wild West and The Rawhide. The Wild West is a basic penetrative attachment that’s best for anyone looking to explore pegging or penetrative play. The Rawhide attachment is a non-penetrative attachment made for anyone who enjoys bumping and grinding.
There are four additional attachments from the Cowgirl line you can invest in to enhance your experience: The Bareback, The Buckwild, The Lone Ranger, and The Bronco. You can learn about which one is right for you in our complete guide on The Cowgirl Attachments.
There are also 5 more magical attachments available from the Unicorn attachments collection, all of which are compatible with both the Cowgirl and Unicorn Premium Sex Machines
In this guide you’ll also find 4 tips on exactly how to use the attachment of your choice for the most pleasurable ride possible.
How do I use the machine if I’m solo or partnered?
Good news: Whether you’re single or partnered, or in a long distance or close distance relationship, there are ways for you to get off with the help of The Cowgirl.
Better yet, there is no wrong way to use the machine.
Exactly how you choose to use the machine, however, will vary based on how many additional people you’re playing with (if any!). As well as your genital make-up and preferred type of stimulation.
If you’re a visual learner, check out The Cowgirl Video Hub for inspiration on solo and coupled rides.
How do I use The Cowgirl If I have a vulva?
It depends on whether you prefer external stimulation, vaginal stimulation, or anal stimulation.
If you enjoy external vulvar stimulation, secure a non-penetrative attachment to the device, lather your body and the attachment with a water (or oil) based lubricant, and ride the machine like a frat boy riding the mechanical pull at a local bar.
If you prefer internal stimulation, what attachment you use— as well as how you use it— will vary based on how deep you like being penetrated. For deep (A-spot) stimulation, opt for The Bronco.
For shallow (G-spot) stimulation, use the Lone Ranger to the device. (If you have more questions about G-spot stimulation, check out this G-Spot Guide).
The Lone Ranger is also the best attachment for those interested in exploring the sensation of squirting. Sometimes known as ejaculation, squirting is the term for the release of fluid from the urethra of vagina-havers that can be pleasurable. (Have questions about squirting? This 101 Squirting Guide will answer them).
Once you’ve picked which attachment you want to use, you’ll have to figure out how you want to position your body on the machine. Again, there’s no wrong way to orient your body on The Cowgirl. But these 10 The Cowgirl sex positions might provide some inspo.
How do I use The Cowgirl if I enjoy anal?
With the promise of prostate orgasm, anal orgasm, and blended orgasm, it’s no surprise that people of all gender, sexual orientations, and sex are exploring the wonderful world of anal sex. But how do you use The Cowgirl to pleasure your posterior? Oh, let us count the ways…
If you have a prostate, you’ll want to use the Lone Ranger, which is optimally curved for stimulating the nerve-dense erogenous zone. Pro tip: If you’re new to prostate play, start with a finger or small plug before graduating to the sex machine. More tips on prostate play here.
If you don’t have a prostate, any of the penetrative attachments will work. Hooray for options!
Ultimately, which you choose depends on your experience level. Advanced anal players might opt for the thicket attachment: The Bronco. Meanwhile, those new to anal play should stick to the Lone Range or Wild West, which are a more manageable size for beginners.
You should also plan to use lube, start slow, communicate, and explore different positions. Click here for our 10 best tips on anal sex.
How to use The Cowgirl to explore double penetration?
Looking for a way to have two times the fun? Try using the machine for double penetration.
Double penetration—often short-handed as DP— is any sex act that involves using two penetrative devices (toys, body parts, etc) on the same body at the same time.
A great sex act for anyone who enjoys the sensation of being stuffed, double penetrative play is especially fun with a sex machine. Check out this double penetration guide to learn exactly how to explore DP with The Cowgirl.
How else can I use The Cowgirl with my partner(s)?
Before you can use The Cowgirl with your partner(s), you’ll have need to introduce the idea of a sex toy first. After all, you should never introduce something new (let alone a sex machine!) to the bedroom without talking about it outside of the bedroom first.
Not sure how to bring up the idea? This couples vibrator guide offers 7 tips for introducing a couples vibrator to your relationship. Plus, a few examples of exactly how to bring the idea up.
As for how you use the sex machine with your lover(s) after they’ve enthusiastically agreed to it? Ultimately, that’s going to depend on the sensations you and your partner(s) enjoy.
You could use it with cold lube or warming lube to enjoy a little temperature play. Or, use it to explore your group sex or gang bang fantasies. Or, use it to explore your Kama Sutra fantasies. For 10 other suggestions for using The Cowgirl with your partner, check out this Cowgirl sex bucket list.
How can I use The Cowgirl during kink or sex parties?
Maybe you’re planning to host a sex party and want to allow guests to use the machine. Or maybe you’re attending a sex party where a sex machine will be present.
Regardless, you might have some questions—including general questions about sharing a sex machine, as well as more general questions about attending an orgy, kink or group sex party. All your answers are in this orgy guide.
Interested in exploring your kinkier side but don’t have a sex party to attend? You can still explore your fantasies.
If you have a partner, consider trying one (or more) of these 10 kinky sex positions you can try on The Cowgirl. If you don’t, find some tips on how to spice up your masturbation practice here.
Where should I store my sex machine when all is said and cum?
Hate to break it to you but your play doesn’t end when everyone is done fucking. It ends after you’ve cleaned, then put away, your sex machine. Learn exactly how to clean, store, and take care of your machine in this Cowgirl cleaning guide.
