Patent Application

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of male prophylactics and more specifically relates to a latex prophylactic worn by a male during sexual intercourse that may protect the inner thighs and the skin surrounding the male genitals against sexually transmitted diseases that are spread through skin to skin contact.
2. Description of the Related Art
Sexually transmitted diseases are a serious concern to any man or woman that is sexually active. If a person has an STD and is too embarrassed to tell their partner, the partner is then at risk for contracting the disease. Sometimes, people are unaware that they are carrying a disease and can pass it on to other people unknowingly. Condoms are useful for preventing against pregnancy and HIV but they do very little to protect against diseases that are spread through skin-to-skin contact. Chlamydia, genital herpes, genital lice, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis, scabies, and syphilis are all examples of venereal diseases that may be spread through skin to skin contact.
Most conventional prophylactics are effective for preventing the exchange of fluid during intercourse; however conventional prophylactics, such as condoms, fail to protect the skin surrounding the male member from exposure to disease. More specifically, the inner thigh, scrotum, and pubic regions are areas of skin which may be exposed to disease during sexual interaction. A more effective prophylactic is needed.
Various attempts have been made to solve the above-mentioned problems such as those found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,993,431, 4,993,433, 5,535,757, and 2,591,783. This prior art is representative of male prophylactics for use during intercourse. None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the invention as claimed.
Ideally, a male prophylactic should be user-friendly, yet would operate reliably and be manufactured at a modest expense. Thus, a need exists for a reliable male prophylactic system to be worn by a male during sexual intercourse that may provide additional protection against sexually transmitted diseases spreadable via skin to skin contact and to avoid the above-mentioned problems.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known male prophylactics art, the present invention provides a novel full protection male prophylactics system. The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a reliable latex male prophylactic to be worn by a male during sexual intercourse that may cover the skin surrounding the male penis vulnerable to contracting sexually transmitted diseases which are spread through skin to skin contact.
A full protection male prophylactic system is disclosed herein and may comprise an anatomically-male configured rubberized skin protector, at least one first male prophylactic support stabilizer, at least one second male prophylactic support stabilizer, and a waist band. The anatomically-male configured rubberized skin protector serves to protect a pubic skin surface from contact during intercourse. The first and second male prophylactic support stabilizers may serve to sustain relative placement of the anatomically-male configured rubberized skin protector to the pubic skin surface. The waist band may secure the full protection male prophylactic system to the male-user during sexual intercourse.
Further, the anatomically-male configured rubberized skin protector of the present invention may comprise a penis-insertable slit such that the male-user may insert his penis therethrough when the full male protection prophylactic system is worn. The anatomically-male configured rubberized skin protector may further comprise a testicle sack that is preferably non-restricting thereby providing a looser fit in the scrotum area.
The present invention may be securably attached to a male-user via a plurality of fasteners that may be attached to the anatomically-male configured rubberized skin protector. In use, the first and second male prophylactic support stabilizers may each comprise several male snappable buttons that may be snappably fastened to a plurality of female snappable buttons affixed to an exterior surface of the anatomically-male configured rubberized skin protector. The first and second male prophylactic support stabilizers may comprise supporters comprising flexible rods. The flexible rods of the present invention are preferably body-contoured such that the full protection male prophylactic system is securably wearable during sexual intercourse to the male-user.
The present invention may further comprise an adjustable waist band comprising a first waist strap and a second waist strap. The first and second waist strap may each be attached to and end of the first and second male prophylactic support stabilizers. The straps may comprise a fastening means such as a button or a buckle. The device may comprise a kit. A method of use is also described subsequently.
The present invention holds significant improvements and serves as a full protection male prophylactics system. For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.
The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and method(s) of use for the present invention, full male protection prophylactic system, constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present invention.
The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like designations denote like elements.
As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to a full male protection prophylactic system and more particularly to a male prophylactic to be worn by a male during sexual intercourse that may provide additional protection against sexually transmitted diseases spreadable via skin to skin contact. Referring to the drawings by numerals of reference there is shown in

Now referring to
In use, anatomically-male configured rubberized skin protector 105 is designed to protect the entire pubic region including the scrotum, penis shaft, upper leg areas, and area about penis 110 from skin contact during sexual intercourse. It should further be noted that in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, anatomically-male configured rubberized skin protector 105 is disposable after each use. It should further be noted that full male protection prophylactic systems 100 may be made available in different sizes to accommodate various body sizes and shapes of male-user 140. The adjustable nature of waist band 160 and plurality of snappable buttons 410 substantially ensures that full male protection prophylactic systems 100 may fit virtually any male-user.
