BUY the Book Sex Machines! Sex Machines has a chapter of Timothy Archibald's interview with Ken and features many interesting inventors, users and the Godfathers of fucking machines, FuckingMachines.com.
Description from the publisher:
Through astonishing images and the surprisingly touching words of its subjects, "Sex Machines: Photographs and Interviews" explores the new sex machine underground in America, and the homespun inventors and users who propel it.
After contacting an active but intensely private Internet community of sex machine inventors, photographer Timothy Archibald eventually won their trust and was invited into workshops and homes. The resulting book is a powerful pop-sociological document that is by turns thought provoking, humorous and always fascinating.
"Sex Machines" celebrates the American spirit of invention while exploring the desires and confusions that exist between men and women in our changing culture. Surprisingly, many of the inventors seen within these pages are otherwise ordinary family men who were inspired to help repair strained relationships or simply enhance their wives' sexual pleasure.
Photographer Archibald covers the broad spectrum of the makers- meet a laid-off tech industry exec who transforms a thrift store pasta maker into a high powered sexual appliance and a new career; an apocalyptic visionary who builds a sex machine prototype for female survivors of a future without men; and an Idaho cowboy who intends to use his device as a form of Christian-based marriage counseling gay men sex machines.
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 sexual liberation in the suburbs and small towns across America.
