feels like a bit of a small question for a whole post, but figured it would probably still be appreciated
i’m having some trouble stabilizing my sex machine at… high speeds. i have a 3 inch tri-fold memory foam mattress, so it just might not be thick enough to keep the machine stable… but at 60%+ of the max speed, it starts making concerning noises and moving a lot (it’s one of those double bar / upside-down T machines), especially when it’s mounted higher on the bars (not really an issue if it’s low to the base, ofc)
it’s hard for me to tell if maybe this is an angle issue, also, because i don’t have a big mirror or anything 💀
it hasn’t fallen off my bed yet, but it’s still concerning enough that i don’t want to chance it. and, y’know, it would be nice to be able to get it to go to a higher speed… so happy to take any advice in this regard for either stabilizing it or figuring out more about the situation

I’ve never tried this… But, they make weighted 50 lb sand bags for working out. You can usually buy them in pairs. Get some sand from home depot and use the bags to add some weight. They’re flexible and should conform around the base of the machine and keep it rock solid. Good luck! 👍
you know what’s crazy.
i have those 50 lbs sandbags for working out LOL
guess i’ll give this a shot in the near future
x2 for this, basically just weight it down.
If that don’t work, bind it, tie it down like securing a load in a truck bed… ropes and knots, maybe even ratchet tie down straps:
Loop em around the machine and the bed frame.

It’s like any machine. You need a stable base, or the movement is going to move the machine itself.
I’m not familiar with sex machines tbh, beyond running across gifs on reddit and lemmy occasionally. Not my kink. But, the principle is the same as a sander or anything else that’s oscillating. When the arm moves forward, it’s also pushing back against the machine. If the mass is low enough, it’ll rock back and forth, possibly enough to turn over.
To reduce that, you either extend the base of support far enough that the leverage shifts in favor of stability, or you increase mass via affixing the base to something, or adding weight directly.
Since you’re on a bed, the most likely workaround is going to be weights. It’s impossible to totally counter the movement because even a foam mattress is basically a spring. But if you add enough weight, it’ll put enough pressure down to reduce it below concerning levels.
Most people start making concerning noises when they go at 60% of the max speed. It’s perfectly normal. Practice makes perfect.
