I think this song is about a women pleasuring herself rather than being pleasured by a man, knowing it's an easier way to accept that form of self expression but well insecurity gets in her way to accept it otherwise. Machineries Of Joy, in other words, in my interpretation is well self-explanatory, we please ourselves. The name of the album (and its title track) comes from a collection of short stories by Ray Bradbury, The Machineries of Joy. (wikipedia). I haven't read any of his works so I won't know deep down the meaning ; although in my head this song speaks this, just my theory
@DenzelForevar Machineries of Joy is the first short story in that collection. It’s about Catholic priests, Irish and Italian, in Chicago who have very different opinions about the Church’s views on space exploration. In the end they learn the thing that motivated them most on the issue was to not be proven wrong.

@DenzelForevar The first story in that Bradbury collection is also titled "Machineries of Joy," and it is about a group of priests who disagree about the theological implications of men traveling to other planets. Personally, I think there is a clue about the meaning intended in the song there.
