Abstract:
A prophylactic and desensitizing condom device comprising:a single and continuous sheath of thin walled tubular construction having an open first end and a closed second end, said sheath including a pouch portion adjacent said first end and a cylindrical portion adjacent said second end such that when said device is positioned over male genitalia said cylindrical portion covers the penis and said pouch portion encloses the scrotum and the base of the penis, said cylindrical portion having a substantially uniform diameter along a length of said cylindrical portion from said second end of said sheath toward said pouch portion; a first elastic band extending around and being integrally attached to said sheath, said first elastic band being positioned at a juncture of said pouch portion and said cylindrical portion, said first elastic band constricting and reducing a diameter of an inner surface of said sheathe such that a diameter of said cylindrical portion is reduced from said substantially uniform diameter at the juncture between said cylindrical portion and said pouch portion; wherein blood flow through the penis is restricted by said first elastic band; wherein said pouch portion has a diameter generally more than twice a diameter of said cylindrical portion; wherein said sheath comprises an elastomeric material; a second elastic band being integrally attached to and extending along a length of said first end, said first elastic band and said second elastic band each having a common central axis; wherein said pouch portion has a perimeter wall extending between said juncture and said first end of said sheath, said perimeter wall having a generally bell-shaped cross section in a plane extending along a longitudinal axis of said sheath; and wherein said first elastic band has a first diameter and said second elastic band has a second diameter, said first diameter being approximately 60 percent of said second diameter.
