This invention relates to sexual stimulation devices, and more particularly to a sexual stimulation device that is low cost, with a one-time use component, for enhanced cleanliness and safety.
Conventional male sexual stimulation devices intend for a male genital engaging portion to be reused and joined to other device parts. Such devices are primarily used to facilitate human sexual pleasure and are typically designed to somewhat resemble a body orifice and may be mechanized and non-mechanized. In addition, conventional stimulation devices may contain a motor to provide a vibrating function for enhanced stimulation. Even when non-mechanized, such parts are reused with a male genital engaging portion. Such conventional stimulation devices, with their reusable parts, lead to requiring extensive cleaning and disinfecting procedures, if not cleaned properly can be unsafe for use and lead to disease, and even if properly cleaned, over time can develop cracks or other wear marks that make truly getting the device clean after each use impossible. A need exists for a stimulation device, and in particular its parts that engage the male genital, to be disposable after one use. Additionally, there is a need for all parts of the device to be truly separable from any genital engaging portions and then be disposable or easily washable to a level of being near-sterile to substantially sterile. There exists a long felt but unresolved need for a stimulation device including a low cost, disposable, and user made device that overcomes the long-established problems mentioned herein.

The simulated genital-stimulating device has the following advantages and capabilities. The stimulation device is very discrete and disguised as a life casting kit, making it unlikely to be recognized as a stimulation device. The stimulation device takes minutes to make, only minutes to cure, minutes to clean up, and is quickly ready for use. The stimulation device reusable parts are dishwasher safe and machine washable and formed of material that can be easily cleaned, as well as sterilized if desired. The stimulation device can be used every time desired and reduces exposure to disease or germs that come with reusable genital engaging devices like silicones and TPE that hold germs over time and may become toxic. The stimulation device is adjustable for large, small, soft, hard, and different mold inner tube shapes including an optional inner texture sleeve. The stimulation device includes a dry powder has been used safely over seventy years in the food industry and dentistry, though the process used for the invention is contrary to how this dry powder is used in the common practice.
In use, the stimulation device may be safely warmed and because the genital sheath is primarily water it enables the device to safely hold heat better, without risk of injury to a user. The stimulation device may also be flavored or scented. The stimulation device may be used for purely medical purposes, e.g., collecting sperm samples or other sexual health needs. While the stimulation device is made for single use, that use can last up to 3 hours by the same user before the genital sheath portion may begin to degrade. Stimulation device can be a substitute for users that have sexually transmitted disease and cannot be with a partner safely or cannot have sex with a human partner due to medical reasons, disease, or similar reasons. The stimulation device can provide endurance training for males with premature ejaculation problems.
A genital stimulation device may include a mold assembly including a mold inner tube, a mold outer tube, and a first mold end cap constructed and arranged to engage the mold inner tube and mold outer tube via a tapered fit for ease of assembly and disassembly. According to one variation, the first mold end cap and the mold inner tube may be a single cap and tube assembly. The mold inner tube may be disposed concentrically within the mold outer tube via a tapered fit for ease of assembly and disassembly. In this way, the mold inner tube, mold outer tube, and the first mold end cap may define a generally tubular hollow having an open end exposed to the atmosphere. An inner texture sleeve may be optionally positioned on the molder inner tube or may be mated with a tapered inner tube seat of the first mold end cap. The inner texture sleeve may be constructed and arranged to provide for a diverse texture on the inner surface of a genital stimulation device. The inner texture sleeve may be pre-formed or may be a non-toxic, moldable clay, putty, gel, or the like that is constructed and arranged to allow a user to provide for a diverse texture on the inner surface of a genital stimulation device. The generally tubular hollow may be coated with a mold release agent. A genital sheath may be formed by combining approximately 3% to 10% by weight of a dry powder with 97% to 90% by weight of water to create a mold fluid, which may be preferably shaken to ensure proper mixing has occurred. It is preferable that the water is “soft water” i.e. water that contains low concentrations of ions including calcium and magnesium. The mold fluid may then be poured into the tubular hollow of the mold assembly. The mold fluid may be cured in ambient temperature and pressure for approximately 15 minutes to provide a cured genital stimulation device. A second mold end cap may be seated on the mold assembly opposite the first mold end cap. Such that the tubular hollow and the mold fluid therein is temporarily enclosed. The first end cap and mold inner tube may then be removed separately, or in the case where the first mold end cap and the mold inner tube may be a single cap and tube assembly, may be removed together simultaneously. At least one sleeve covering may be subsequently sleeved over the mold outer tube. The at least one sleeve covering may be any flexible, generally tubular, elastic, or semi-elastic sleeve constructed an arranged to provide constrictive force on the outside of the mold outer tube. The at least one sleeve may be generally tubular having two open ends opposite one another. The at least one sleeve may include a plurality of elastic or rigid spines circumferentially surrounding portions of the at least one sleeve and constructed and arranged to provide additional constrictive force. Once the at least one sleeve covering is sleeved over the mold outer tube, the second mold end and mold outer tube may be removed from the assembly, leaving the cured mold product sleeved within the at least one sleeve to yield a genital stimulation device.
The mold fluid may include primarily water and a dry powder. The dry powder may include alginate. Alginate is a polysaccharide, made up of chains of sugar units that can be thousands of sugars long. Sugars in alginate consist of guluronate (G), mannuronate (M) or guluronate-mannuronate blocks, and the proportion of the different sugars determines how strong a cured mold product may be formed from alginates. Algal polysaccharides may include alginates from brown seaweeds and carrageenan from certain red seaweeds. Dental alginate, essentially the same as prosthetic alginate, has been used hundreds of millions of times in people's mouths by dentists all over the world since their introduction. Industry knowledge suggests that there has never been a verified instance of any allergic reaction to alginate. Neither has there been any verified cases of long-term injury from the use of alginate, even when used daily in a dental office.
The dry powder may include a water-soluble alginate, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, calcium sulfate, and magnesium oxide. The dry powder may include at least one of a water-soluble alginate, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, calcium sulfate, or magnesium oxide. The dry powder may include, by weight, 12 parts water-soluble alginate, 1.5 parts tetrasodium pyrophosphate, 9 parts calcium sulfate, or 4 parts magnesium oxide.
The dry powder may include a water-soluble alginate, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, an alginate dispersing agent, and powdered cellulosic filler. The dry powder may include at least one of a water-soluble alginate, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, an alginate dispersing agent, or powdered cellulosic filler. The dry powder may include, by weight, 14 parts water-soluble alginate, 2 parts tetrasodium pyrophosphate, 12 parts calcium sulfate, 22 parts alginate dispersing agent, or 50 parts powdered cellulosic filler.
The dry powder may include approximately 15% by weight soluble alginates, such as sodium or potassium or triethanolamine alginates; approximately 16% by weight calcium sulphate; approximately 4% by weight zinc oxide; approximately 3% by weight potassium titanium fluoride; approximately 60% by weight diatomaceous earth; approximately 2% by weight sodium phosphate; and trace amounts of coloring or flavoring agents. Non-limiting examples of commercial products that would be suitable for use as the dry powder to be mixed with water to form the of the invention is known as: MAX Print® of MDC Dental (www.mdcdental.com) by Industria del Plastico located in Zapopan, Jal. Mexico; and Alja-Safe™ (Crystalline Silica-Free Alginate) from Smooth-On, Inc. located in Macungie, PA, USA.
The mold fluid may include combining approximately 14 to 30 grams of dry powder and 540 grams of water. The mold fluid may include combining approximately 20 grams of dry powder and 540 grams of water.
The inner texture sleeve may be pre-formed and may be integrated with the mold inner tube. The inner texture sleeve may be a non-toxic, moldable clay, putty, gel, or the like that is constructed and arranged to allow a user to provide for a diverse texture on the inner surface of a genital stimulation device. The non-toxic, moldable clay, putty, gel, or the like may be moisture-resistant and heat-resistant such that when a mold liquid at elevated temperature is poured into the mold assembly, the inner texture sleeve does not lose form, shape, or deteriorate. The inner texture sleeve may be a re-usable, sulfur free, oil and/or wax based sculpting medium constructed and arranged to provide for a diverse texture on the inner surface of the cured mold product of the genital stimulation device.
