Nerve features "Rise of the Sex Machines," a photographic series starring sex machines and the people who make them. The photos are from Timothy Archibald's Sex Machines, a book focusing on the same subject matter. Archibald traveled the country interviewing and photographing entrepreneurs and inventors working to create erotic robotics. On November 3, the Museum of Sex in New York City will be showing 21 of Archibald's photos, excerpts from his interviews, and several sex machines.

Archibald covers the broad spectrum of the makers-from the elusive creator of the Sybian, the forefather of sex machines, to lesser-known inventors like Paul Gaertner, who, laid off from his job in the high-tech industry, founded a new business by transforming a thrift store pasta maker into a high-powered sexual appliance. After receiving an apocalyptic vision of a future without men, Louis Walker constructs a sex machine prototype for the women survivors. Eric Reynolds credits his apparatus for saving his marriage, and Jon Traven uses his sex device as a form of Christian-based marriage counseling.

Like the work of Bill Owens, Studs Terkel, and Diane Arbus, Archibald's photographs and interviews find unexpected beauty and mystery among the lives of regular people-this time, as they engender a new form of "marriage enhancement" and sexual liberation in the suburbs and small towns across America.

Years ago I saw a couple sex machine movies on another adult site; they were interesting albeit sometimes a little weird. I guess they work rather well if you're into relentless pounding.

Those machines sure do keep a good rhythm ... I'll give them that much.
