Patent Application
20240180775
Masturbators, devices that mechanically stimulate a user's sexual organs for the purpose of providing the user with sexual pleasure, are common products in the contemporary adult toys market. A common type of masturbator is an artificial male penis used for vaginal or anal insertion typically referred to as a dildo. There also exists male masturbators that simulate female vaginas used for penile penetration typically referred to as onaholes. Such masturbators can be handheld and non-electric, generally comprising a shaped piece of silicone, TPE, or other soft rubber-like and skin-friendly material, and require the user's physical effort to reach orgasm.
Masturabtors can also be electric, comprising the aforementioned components as well as mechanical and electrical components. Such electric masturbators allow the user to reach orgasm with less physical effort or even no effort if the user utilizes hands-free devices. Presently, dildo masturbators with internal vibrating motors are very common on the market. However, to an extent, they still require active physical movement by the user to reach orgasm. Additionally present are mechanical dildo masturbators configured to fully automate the penetration process. U.S. Pat. No. D955,597 S is an example of such a mechanical masturbator. Such masturbators, however, utilize a slider-crank mechanism that cannot be readily adjusted to alter the penetration/sliding depth of an attachment. Considering that the dimensions of vaginas, penises, and anuses may vary considerably, the aforementioned restriction in depth can result in medical injuries for the user.
There also exists electronic masturbators typically used by men such as silicone or TPE vaginas embedded into a plastic housing, the artificial vaginas being configured to provide vibrations, vacuum suction, or massaging sensations to the user's genitalia. In some devices, massage motors grip the penis via the silicone part(s), sometimes with a plurality of internal balls or bumps. As the electronic parts of such devises are typically integrated into the silicone or TPE portions of the device, it is of great difficulty to replace the silicone or TPE portions while preserving the function of the electronics. Essentially, if a user is dissatisfied with the product, they are required to purchase additional silicone parts or an entirely new device, vastly overpaying for the electronic portion of the masturbator as a result.
Based on the aforementioned information, there is a need in the market for an electrically powered mechanical masturbator that can be readily adjusted for each user's individual purposes without the need for a multitude of products or devices to be purchased.
Accordingly, the inventor has conceived and reduced to practice, a masturbation system and method of use that provides a better user experience by combining a rail-based movement system, a readily repositionable arm, and a toy receiving piece configured to readily receive a plurality of adult toys and allow the user to customize the toy receiving piece's mechanical movement during use.
