Abstract:
A system for preventing pregnancy and covertly treating erectile dysfunction is used to help the user maintain an erection by constricting the penis of the user. The system includes a condom which, like a traditional condom, is used to capture semen in order to prevent pregnancy. The system includes a first constriction band, a second constriction band, and a constriction ring which each work to constrict areas of the penis to limit blood flow so that an erection may be maintained during sex. The condom includes a tubular body and a length-adjustable head. The tubular body helps to hold the length-adjustable head in place over the head of the penis. The length-adjustable head captures ejaculated semen and also helps to keep the first constriction band in place.

     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The present invention relates generally to a condom. More specifically, the present invention is an improved system which comprises a condom and a condom wrapper used to help treat erectile dysfunction in a covert manner. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    Erectile dysfunction affects millions of men, making the act of sex stressful and difficult to enjoy. Erectile dysfunction makes it harder for men to get and maintain an erection. Traditional condoms can worsen this problem by dulling sensations experienced by the user. 
         [0004]    Dealing with erectile dysfunction can be awkward and even embarrassing for men. Solutions for erectile dysfunction can be cumbersome to deal with during intimate moments with a partner. Medications can be effective for some men, but are known to have adverse side effects and can become a hassle in a spontaneous moment. Further, by taking oral medications, often the user reveals that they suffer from erectile dysfunction. This can become an unwanted distraction before and during sex. 
         [0005]    Accordingly, there is a present need for an improved condom which can be used to treat erectile dysfunction without becoming a distraction for the user or their partner. The present invention is a system which uses multiple constriction bands and a constriction ring which are integrated into the design of a condom. The constriction bands and the constriction ring blend into the look of the condom so they may go unnoticed during sex. The system includes a condom wrapper which is designed to help aid the user in stretching the constriction bands and the constriction ring so that the condom may be easily put on.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0016]    All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. 
         [0017]    With reference to  FIGS. 1-3 , the present invention is a system for preventing pregnancy and covertly treating erectile dysfunction. The present invention comprises a condom  1 , a first constriction band  7 , a second constriction band  8 , and a constriction ring  12 . The condom  1  is used to prevent pregnancy by capturing semen ejaculated during intercourse. The condom  1  comprises a length-adjustable head  2  and a tubular body  5 . The length-adjustable head  2  allows for the condom  1  to be adjusted to ensure user comfort. The tubular body  5  is used to fit over the shaft of the penis and help prevent the condom  1  from slipping during intercourse. The first constriction band  7  is connected adjacent to the tubular body  5  and is used to constrict the glans in order to treat erectile dysfunction. The length-adjustable head  2  is connected adjacent to the first constriction band  7 , opposite to the tubular body  5  and helps to ensure that the first constriction band  7  is positioned correctly along the penis. The second constriction band  8  and the constriction ring  12  are also used to treat erectile dysfunction. The second constriction band  8  is connected adjacent to the tubular body  5 , opposite to the first constriction band  7 . When worn, the second constriction band  8  is positioned about the shaft of the penis. The constriction ring  12  is connected adjacent to the second constriction band  8 , opposite to the tubular body  5 . This arrangement allows the constriction ring  12  to be positioned about the shaft of the penis, adjacent to the second constriction band  8 , while worn. 
         [0018]    The length-adjustable head  2 , the tubular body  5 , the first constriction band  7 , the second constriction band  8 , and the constriction ring  12  are concentrically aligned about a central axis  6  of the condom  1 . This creates a uniform boundary which may be fitted over the penis prior to engaging in sexual intercourse and used to capture ejaculated semen. The first constriction band  7 , the second constriction band  8 , and the constriction ring  12  are designed to blend in with the look of the condom  1  so that the present invention is virtually indistinguishable from a regular condom. Because erectile dysfunction can be awkward or even embarrassing to talk about, an aim of the present invention is to provide a means of treating erectile dysfunction without revealing that the user experiences erectile dysfunction. 
         [0019]    In reference to  FIG. 2 , the length adjustable head comprises a plurality of pleats  3  and a reservoir tip  4 . The plurality of pleats  3  allow the length-adjustable head  2  to be sized for each individual user. The plurality of pleats  3  is positioned offset from the reservoir tip  4  along the length-adjustable head  2 . The plurality of pleats  3  may be stretched or unfolded to elongate the length-adjustable head  2 . The reservoir tip  4  is used to aid in the capturing of semen, but also helps to prevent the condom  1  from breaking during intercourse. 
         [0020]    In reference to  FIGS. 4-5  the present invention further comprises a condom wrapper  13  which aids the user in putting on the condom  1  and also prevents the condom  1  from being damaged. The condom wrapper  13  comprises a first panel  14  and a second panel  15 . The first panel  14  is positioned adjacent to the second panel  15  and is perimetrically connected to the second panel  15 . This configuration creates a space between the first panel  14  and the second panel  15 . The condom  1 , the first constriction band  7 , the second constriction band  8 , and the constriction ring  12  are positioned in between the first panel  14  and the second panel  15 . This arrangement creates a barrier around the condom  1 , keeping the condom  1  sterile and intact. Further, this arrangement allows the condom  1  to be coated in lubricants. 
         [0021]    The first panel  14  and the second panel  15  each comprise a pair of assembly pieces  16  and a breakable interface  17 . In reference to  FIGS. 5-6 , the pair of assembly pieces  16  is attached adjacent to each other by the breakable interface  17 . When the user wishes to unwrap and put on the condom  1 , the first panel  14  and second panel  15  may each be split along the breakable interface  17 . This arrangement helps to prevent the condom  1  from being damaged during the process of unwrapping the condom  1 . Further, this arrangement makes it easier for the user to unwrap the condom  1 . 
         [0022]    In order to package individual condoms  1 , the second constriction band  8  and the tubular body  5  are rolled about the constriction ring  12  in order to form a rolled configuration with the condom  1 , the first constriction band  7 , the second constriction band  8 , and the constriction ring  12  Like with other condoms, this is done to simplify the process of putting on the condom  1 . In reference to  FIG. 6 , the condom wrapper  13  further comprises a plurality of pull tabs  18  which is distributed about the rolled configuration. The plurality of pull tabs  18  helps to aid the user in putting on the condom  1 . A first end  19  for each of the plurality of pull tabs  18  is peripherally connected in between the first panel  14  and the second panel  15 . A second end  20  for each of the plurality of pull tabs  18  is rolled about the constriction ring  12  with the second constriction band  8  and the tubular body  5 . This is done such that when the user opens the condom wrapper  13 , the user is able to stretch the constriction ring  12 , the first constriction band  7 , the second constriction band  8 , and the condom  1  by pulling on the plurality of pull tabs  18 . Because the plurality of pull tabs  18  is connected to first panel  14  and the second panel  15 , the user does not need to handle each individual pull tab  18 . Rather, the user is able to the hold the first panel  14  and the second panel  15  in order to stretch the condom  1 . When the condom  1  is completely unrolled onto the penis, the plurality of pull tabs  18  may be removed and the entire condom wrapper  13  may be disposed of. The preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises four pull tabs  18 ; however, any number of pull tabs  18  may be used in alternative embodiments of the present invention. 
         [0023]    In reference to  FIG. 5 , the present invention further comprises a scent patch  21 . The scent patch  21  is mounted onto the condom wrapper  13  and may be scented to enhance the sexual experience of the user or their partner. The scent patch  21  can include, but is not limited to, aphrodisiac scents and pheromones. Further, multiple scents may be included to target the user and their partner. 
         [0024]    In reference to  FIG. 7 , the second constriction band  8  comprises a proximal portion  9 , an intermediate portion  10 , and a distal portion  11 . The proximal portion  9 , the intermediate portion  10 , and the distal portion  11  may be overlapped in order to give strength to the second constriction band  8 . The proximal portion  9  is foldably connected adjacent to the tubular body  5 . The intermediate portion  10  is foldably connected adjacent to the proximal portion  9 , opposite to the tubular body  5 . The distal portion  11  is foldably connected adjacent to the intermediate portion  10 , opposite to the proximal portion  9 . When overlapped, the proximal portion  9 , the intermediate portion  10 , and the distal portion  11  cause the second constriction band  8  to be three layers thick. The constriction ring  12  is connected adjacent to the distal portion  11 , opposite to the intermediate portion  10 . Together, the second constriction band  8  and the constriction ring  12  help to prevent blood from flowing out of the penis, resulting in a loss of erection. 
         [0025]    In a folded configuration of the second constriction band  8 , the intermediate portion  10  is encircled by the proximal portion  9  and the distal portion  11  is encircled by the intermediate portion  10 . In addition to strengthening the second constriction band  8 , this configuration is also used to hold adhesive materials within the condom  1 , without said materials contacting the user&#39;s skin. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, an adhesive coating  22  is internally layered onto the intermediate portion  10  and a non-stick coating  23  is internally layered onto the proximal portion  9 . The adhesive coating  22  is used to help seal the condom  1  after use, while the non-stick coating  23  is used to prevent the proximal portion  9  and the intermediate portion  10  from adhering to each other while the second constriction band  8  is in the folded configuration. 
         [0026]    In an unfolded configuration the proximal portion  9 , shown in  FIG. 8 , the intermediate portion  10 , and the distal portion  11  are linearly aligned with each other. After using the present invention, the second constriction band  8  may be unfolded by pulling on the constriction ring  12 . When the second constriction band  8  unfolds, the adhesive coating  22  is pulled away from the non-stick coating  23 . The user may pinch the intermediate portion  10  such that the adhesive coating  22  contacts itself. By doing this, the condom  1  can be sealed easily and without requiring the user to tie the condom  1  in a knot. 
         [0027]    In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a lubricant coating  24  is internally and/or externally layered onto the condom  1 , the first constriction band  7 , the second constriction band  8 , and the constriction ring  12 . This can be seen in  FIGS. 9-10 . The lubricant coating  24  is used to enhance the sexual experience between the user and their partner. The lubricant coating  24  may include ingredients such as, but not limited to, vasodilation, libido enhancing, and warming agents to further improve the sexual experience between the user and their partner. 
         [0028]    Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
