My boyfriend has offered to buy me a Shockspot sex machine for Christmas but just need to decide between the 8" or 12" model. I know the 12 inch is only like £150 more then the 8 inch, but is there much benefit in owning the the machine that has a 12 inch stroke length or will 8 inches be more than enough? So, help me choose, 8 or 12 inch stroke length?

I forgot to mention, I am male (gay) so this would primarily engage in anal penetration, having done a little research I feel the 8 inch model is more than sufficient penetration especially for anal. Just about to buy the Shockspot Sex Machine 8 inch unless anyone can give me a reason to change my mind?

Why would anyone unless really accomplished at taking it deep want a 12" stroke?

I agree you should go with the 8" version, save yourself and your money.

I also have the eight inch version and the stroke length is more than enough.

Twelve inches of stroke would be far too much for me!

You can set the depth up to 12 inches with the shockspot 12, that doesn't mean you have to.

If you need a little more than 8 inch you can set the depth to more, ie. 9", 10", 11" & 12” and any depth in-between.

Granted, I am more than happy with the Shockspot 8 inch I ended up buying, but only because I'm using it for anal penetration only.

If I have a vagina and was thinking about which to go for, 8" vs 12", I would choose the Shockspot 12" machine.

It boils down to how much penetration length you need.

If your perfect size is over 8 inches then you will likely benefit from the 12 inch model.
