The present invention is directed generally to field of sexual prophylactic devices or male condoms. In particular, the present invention is directed to a penis-enlarging condom configured to enhance or adjust penis size and configuration to better match the anatomy of a sexual partner.
There are a wide variety of sexual prophylactic devices (condoms) configured to be applied to the male penis. The most common configuration is a simple latex sheath. In the past, other materials have also been used. All of these have been directed to providing a smooth, impenetrable sheath or casing that would not interfere with tactile interaction of the relevant anatomy. While many existing designs are suitable for prophylactic purposes, they do very little to add to the tactile experience, or to make appropriate adjustments for differences in anatomy with a sexual partner.
Enhancement devices are well-known for conventional condoms. However, they are somewhat limited. These include lubricants, various rib configurations, and even limited penis extensions. However, none of these gradually increase the overall effective size of the penis, without substantial mechanical additions, such as pneumatic inflation. Further, anatomical enhancements when used, are often limited in adjustment and configuration
Since compatible size is a very real consideration in sexual intercourse, a device that gradually increases in size while not limiting tactile experience is very much to be desired. However, there is no conventional design that will permit a gradual increase in size and configuration while maintaining protection and an enhanced tactile experience for both partners. The result of a gentle, gradual, fitting of size and configuration between sexual partners would also have therapeutic benefits due to minimal invasiveness. The result would be therapeutic psychological benefits provided by an improved physical sexual arrangement.
Accordingly, it the primary object of the invention to provide a superior male prophylactic or condom that enhances the sexual experience for both partners, thereby providing therapeutic value.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a condom configured to increase in size without sacrificing the protective utility of the condom.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a condom capable of effecting desired adjustment between sexual partners.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a condom capable of self-adjustment before and during sexual intercourse.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a condom that facilitates adjustments with regard to the mutual sizes of sexual partners, without the use of a substantial mechanical additions.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a condom that maintains a smooth configuration while maintaining size adjustment and regulation characteristics.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a condom that permits the selection of certain areas of the condom for greater levels of tactile stimulation.
These and other goals and objects of the present invention are achieved by an elongated condom for the male sexual organ having one open end and an opposite closed end. The condom includes a first contiguous layer of impermeable material and a second layer of sponge-like moisture absorbent material, which extends substantially along the length of the condom. The second layer is covered by a third layer of substantially smooth impermeable material. This third layer has multiple apertures providing access for external moisture to the second layer.
The drawings described herein after depict only one embodiment, having one configuration of the present invention, which admits to a wide range of embodiments and configurations. Almost any aspect of the present invention as depicted by the subject drawings can be modified to differ substantially from the subject drawings while still remaining within the concept of the present invention.
The inventive condom 1 is formed of a sheath 2 made of latex or latex-like material in the same manner as conventional condoms. This includes a closed distal end, preferably in the form of a nipple reservoir 3. The opposite end or proximate end 4 is an opening for the insertion of the male sexual member, as is normal for conventional condoms.
The inventive aspect of the present invention 1 is the self-swelling, or enhancement capability. This comes from layer 5 of thin, compressed, sponge-like material, which absorbs or loses moisture, thereby adjusting girth along the condom length. This sponge-like material is usually cellulose or a cellulose-like material. However, other materials can be used.
As a sponge, layer 5 can absorb varying amounts of moisture such as that generated by female anatomy. Further, other sources of moisture can also be used to adjust the moisture content of the sponge-like layer 5, and thus the size of condom 1. The bottom 24 can have an extended portion without any sponge at all. This particular embodiment, as depicted in
The thickness of layer 5 is self-adjusting, based upon its absorption of the surrounding moisture. In this manner, sufficient moisture can be absorbed from the surrounding environment so that condom 1 provides a better fit between sexual partners. If the moisture absorbed increases the size of sponge layer 5 to an inappropriate size, the normal friction and pressure of sexual action will reduce the thickness of sponge-like layer 5 by forcing moisture out of the sponge-like material. The result is psychologically compatibility and a gratifying experience.
In order to maintain a smooth surface over the entirety of condom 1, the sponge-like layer 5 is covered with a thin latex layer 6. Thus, the overall smoothness of condom 1 is maintained. Layer 6 is covered with apertures 61 to provide access for external moisture to reach the sponge-like layer 5, and for excess moisture to migrate from sponge-like layer 5 through the apertures 61, and away from the surface of the condom 1.
The benefit of the present invention is achieved by the self-swelling capability, whereby moisture from outside of the condom is absorbed through apertures 61 into the sponge-like layer 5. This increases the overall girth of the condom 1, and thus, the effective girth of the male sexual organ employing condom 1.
Base 4, constituted by two complimentary annular rings 41, 42 constituting the upper half and lower half, respectively, provides access for the user's sexual organ. Base 4 functions very much in the same manner as any conventional condom. However, the upper and lower halves, 41, 42 can be color coded. This would serve as an aid in properly orienting condom 1 onto the correct portion of the male anatomy so that the positions of the sponge layer 5, or lack thereof (such as on bottom portion 24) can easily be properly positioned. The color coding will aid this positioning, and relieve some of the aggravation often entailed in the application of a male condom.
While a number of embodiments have been provided by way of example, the present invention is not limited thereto. Rather, the present invention should be construed to include any and all variations, modifications, permutations, adaptations, derivations, and embodiments that would occur to one skilled in this technology and having position of the teaching of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention should be construed as being limited only by the following claims.
The present invention relies upon U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/622,608, filed Apr. 11, 2012, for priority.
