Description

TITLE
THERAPEUTIC SEXUAL DEVICE FOR WOMEN
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a therapeutic sexual device for women, which is in the form of a vaginal muscle exerciser and stimulator. In particular, the exerciser and stimulator is in the form of a loop with reversible lateral compressive strength.
Background of the Invention Until early in the 20~' century, treatment of "pelvic disorders" in women included manual stimulation by doctors. Subsequently, vibrators were developed. A wide variety of objects have now been designed and made available for enhancing sexual functioning, for health reasons e.g. through exercise of muscles, or for sexual pleasure. In use, the objects are inserted into the vagina to provide exercise and stimulation from friction upon manipulation of the object or for other reasons. Additional sensory effects may be created through the production of heat, fluid discharge, or low-voltage electrical stimulation or vibration. Some objects create diffuse sensations in the user, e.g. they may have surface texture, such as raised bumps or ridges which enhance local pressures upon manipulation. Other objects are designed to target specific areas of the body cavity, for instance the paraurethral gland of the urethral sponge of the clitoris (also called the Grafenberg spot or G spot).
The G spot is an area on the anterior wall of the vagina, about midway between the opening and the cervix (or usually about two inches in from the vaginal opening). The G spot is variously described as a paraurethral gland considered to be a female homologue of the male prostate gland, or as erectile tissue connected to the deep roots of the clitoris. Stimulation of the G
spot is understood to require pressure substantially perpendicular to the axis of the vaginal canal. The human penis is not capable of naturally exerting such pressure. Stimulation of the Grafenberg, or G spot, leads to orgasm in many women, often accompanied by the expulsion of female ejaculate fluid.
Within the perineum or urogenital region of the female there are several muscles, including the traverse superficial, bulbocavernosus, lecliocavernosus, traverse profundus and the sphincter urethrae. These muscles are all joined and are generally continuous with the urogenital diaphragm. The muscles are used for many different functions, including muscle control of the orifice of the vagina. Muscle control by contraction and relaxation of the muscles effects control of flow of blood to the clitoris and contribute to the erection of the clitoris, which is a known factor in a woman's ability to achieve orgasm, and provide control of the urethra. As with other muscles of the human body, the muscles of the urogenital triangle and perivaginal area are prone to atrophy when not in use over long periods of time.
Physiologically, the toning and development of these muscles are beneficial in both bladder and vaginal control, and often result in better and more fulfilling sexual relationships. This is due to better blood flow to the clitoris and constriction of veins therein.
Physicians and other health professionals may recommend use of the objects for developing, strengthening, tightening, or otherwise enhancing the function of muscles, glands, and other organs surrounding the vagina and/or urethra. As well as for physiological reasons, the objects may also be recommended for enhancing self-esteem and for use in overcoming emotional and psychological traumas and conditions. Such uses may include post-partum vaginal recovery, multiple sclerosis, urinary incontinence, anorgasmia, pelvic disorders, migraine headaches, sexual trauma, depression and low energy.
In the prior art, therapeutic devices for women in the form of vaginal muscle exercisers and stimulators are often designed to simulate a human male penis, for ease of insertion into the vagina and for erotic appeal due to familiarity of the shape. However, such designs are of limited function for exploratory purposes e.g. for reaching the G-spot. They can be uncomfortable, especially if made of rigid material, of cylindrical construction.
They may be embarrassing to use and a threat to the woman's partner.
Therapeutic sexual devices in the form of vaginal exercisers and stimulators that are of simplified construction and versatile use would be useful, and that do not resemble a human penis would be useful.
Summary of the Invention A new vaginal exerciser and stimulator has now been found, with a simple non-phallic construction and ease of use.
Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention provides a vaginal muscle exerciser and stimulator, comprising:
a length of tubing with opposed ends thereof being retained in a holding device and extending outwards therefrom substantially in parallel to form a loop of said tubing, said loop being flexible and undergoing reversible lateral compression when subjected to a compressive force.
Brief Description of the Drawings The present invention will be described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a plan view of a vaginal exerciser and stimulator of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of an end view of the exerciser and stimulator of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a cross-section of the holding device of the exerciser and stimulator, through A-A; and Fig. 4 is a schematic representation of a cross-section of the loop of the exerciser and stimulator, through B-B.

Detailed Descriution of the Invention The exerciser and stimulator of the present invention is generally indicated by 1. Exerciser and stimulator 1 has a loop 2 with opposed ends 3 and 4. Ends 3 and 4 are retained in holding device 5. Holding device 5 encloses the ends 3 and 4 of tubing 2, with ends 3 and 4 extending outwards therefrom substantially in parallel. Holding device 5 may be referred to as a handle, end piece or other device, and has the primary function of holding the two ends of the tubing together. Tubing 2 forms a loop that extends away from holding device 5. In embodiments of the invention, tubing 2 lays substantially in a plane as more clearly seen in Fig. 2 i.e. in such embodiments tubing 2 is substantially planar.
Tubing 2 has walls 6 that retain rope 7. Rope 7 is optional, and if present acts as a flexible core for tubing 2, and provides internal stiffening or structuring to the tubing. Although flexible, rope 7 does effect stiffening of tubing 2. It is to be noted that this embodiment shows that the rope 7 has a diameter that is substantially the same as the internal diameter of tubing 2.
Thus, the diameter of rope 7 substantially extends between the walls 6 of tubing 2, as more clearly seen in Fig. 3. However, it is understood that the rope may have a smaller diameter than the internal diameter of the tubing.
The tubing as described herein is sufficiently flexible and of a structure that will conform comfortably to the body shape of a user. In a preferred embodiment, the tubing contains an internal stiffening or structural core of rope, as described above, so that tubing 2 has a combination of flexibility and stiffness to allow for comfort, safety and suitable resistance for maximum efficiency and ease of use.
Fig. 2 shows an end view of holding device 5, from end 8 thereof (see Fig. 1 ). As viewed from end 8, tubing 2 extends outwards from both sides of holding device 5, and forms a loop (see Fig. 1 ).
Fig. 3 shows a cross-section of holding device 5 through A-A. Holding device 5 has walls 10 that enclose ends 3 and 4 of tubing 2. Each of ends 3 and 4 has walls 6 that enclose rope 7. Rope 7 is shown as made up of a plurality of woven cords, e.g. of nylon or preferably polypropylene, indicated as 11A and 11 B. It is preferred that the rope have a diameter of not less than 0.18 inches, while fitting within the tube as described herein.
Fig. 4 shows a cross-section of tubing 2, through B-B. Tubing 2 has wall 6 having rope 7 therein. Rope 7 is made up of a plurality of woven cords 11A-11 E. Rope 7 of Fig. 4 is the same rope as in Fig. 3. The number of cords used to form the rope may be varied, provided that the rope will fit within the tubing.
The tubing should be of a food grade quality, or of higher quality, and preferably of a durometer between 60 and 70 Shore hardness. For instance, the tubing may be PVC e.g. a virgin food grade PVC tubing. The tubing may have a variable length, and in particular a length of 12-24 inches, and more particularly, 15-24 inches. The tubing preferably has a external diameter of 0.40-0.60 inches, and in one embodiment has a diameter of 0.44 inches. The wall thickness of the tubing would typically be in the range of 0.10-0.15 inches, and is preferably in the range of about 0.125 inches. In embodiments, the tubing has a smooth exterior surface but other non-smooth surfaces could be used.
The loop of the tubing has reversible lateral compression i.e. when compressed in a lateral direction it will tend to revert to its natural shape.
Thus, in use for exercise or stimulation, the tubing of the exerciser and stimulator will provide an outwards force as it resists the lateral compressive forces being applied. It is the lateral resistance to compression that provides both the exercise and the stimulation of the particular muscles.
As noted above, the tubing preferably has an internal core, especially in the form of a rope. A nylon or polypropylene rope is preferred. The rope provides both structure and form to the tubing. In particular, the rope maintains the shape and structure of the tubing. The rope is intended to ensure that the tubing has a proper ratio of resistance and flexibility, including maintaining a proper resiliency of the tubing to compression e.g. when the tubing is inserted in a human vagina and is inside sphincter muscles. In addition, the rope assists in creating and maintaining a proper resiliency and resistance of the tubing to compression e.g. when it is being inserted and is inside sphincter muscles of the vagina.
The handle is intended to hold and retain the opposed ends of the tubing parallel to each other. As such, the tubing would be adhered into the handle or otherwise attached to the handle. In other respects, the shape of the handle may be varied widely.
The therapeutic sexual device of the present invention, which is an exerciser and stimulator, is non-phallic in appearance, and is designed to conform to the individual body shape of the user. The expansive nature of the device is such that it not only tends to conform to the natural shape of individual bodies but it reaches and stimulates areas of the vaginal canal and cavity that may not otherwise be readily stimulated or exercised. The device is completely manual, and does not require batteries or other sources of electricity. It has the advantage of developing muscle co-ordination and strength, and of not interfering with the natural energy of the body.
The exerciser and stimulator of the present invention provides an isotonic method of muscle building i.e. utilizes external forces that act against or with specific muscles in particular directions. The resultant muscle toning and strengthening of muscles may provide many benefits. Such benefits could include gynaecological functions, such as bladder and vaginal control, more fulfilling sexual relationships as a result of better blood flow to the clitoris and an increased ability to control an erect and sensitive clitoris and consequent improved sexual experiences, both alone and in partnership with another person.
The exerciser and stimulator of the present invention provides a new type of therapeutic apparatus for the purpose of erotic and sexual self-exploration, discovery and gratification, orgasmic therapy, increased muscle tone and circulation through passive and active exercising of the vaginal muscles and connected areas, and relief of stress. The present invention has a unique design, which expands into the vaginal cavity and can conform to the individual body of a user, providing an intuitive, self-regulating, self adjusting method of toning, tightening, and strengthening muscles. The device provides a novel approach to stimulating and exercising the walls of the vagina and muscles of the urogenital triangle, providing an isotonic method of exercise that may be active or passive. In addition, the device offers a novel approach to improving circulation and blood flow to the sexual organs, enhancing muscle co-ordination, and to the awakening, activating, and working with sexual energy in human females in ways that often lead to ecstatic waves of orgasm, heightened awareness and sensitivity, and feelings of satisfaction and profound peace.
