## Background
RELATED CASES
This application claims the priority of provisional application Ser. No. 62/081,070 filed Nov. 18, 2014. Applicant hereby incorporates by reference the entire content of provisional application Ser. No. 62/081,070.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to sexual aid devices and more specifically to a device and method for facilitating a male orgasm.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The sexual stimulation of a person's genitals by that person for their own pleasure may be as old as human kind. There are depictions of male and female masturbation in prehistoric rock paintings in various locations around the world. Depictions of masturbation in the ancient world are common. Devices used by males to aid in masturbation have likely existed for centuries. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the number of masturbation aid devices has increased dramatically. The early 1900's saw the inflatable “blow-up” doll introduced. The late 1900's saw the introduction of the more discreet FleshlightTM. The twenty-first century has introduced a whole new line of devices which, with the aid of computer technology can interact with videos and even other devices. Unfortunately, the latest devices can be cost prohibitive for many potential users. Hence, it is clear that a need exists to provide a simple, inexpensive device and method for facilitating a male orgasm.

In one embodiment, the mat 20 is made from textiles, not like your normal masturbation aids which are made of plastic, rubber and/or silicone. In another embodiment the mat 20 is made of plastic, rubber and/or silicone. In still another embodiment, the mat 20 is made of a combination of textiles, plastic, rubber and/or silicone. The mat 20 may be hollow and contain one or more types of a padding within the mat. The hollow mat 20 may include a closing mechanism, such as those listed below as part of the fastening system 40 to gain or restrict access to the hollow portion within the mat. The padding can be made of natural fibers, man-made fibers, or a combination thereof. The padding may be washable or disposable. The padding may be warmed and retain heat prior to, during and after use.
A fastening system 40 is secured to the mats surface 22, 24. The fastening system 40 used to retain the mat in a cylindrical shape may include any fastening system known in the art. These systems include hook-and-eye closures (such as those used on bras), snaps, buttons, elastic bands, strings, laces (for tying), zippers, adhesives, magnets, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment of the instant invention, a hook and loop fastening system 41 is used and located on the surfaces 22, 24 of the mat 20. In one embodiment, the hook portion 42 of the fastening system 40 is located on one surface (i.e. the inner surface 22) and the loop portion 44 of the fastening system is located on the opposite surface (i.e. the outer surface 24) or vice versa. In another embodiment, both the hook portion 42 and the loop portion 44 of the fastening system 40 are located on the same surface. In the embodiment illustrated in the Figures, one portion of the fastening system (i.e. 42) is located on the first edge 30 of the mat which is located on the inner surface 22 of the mat and the other portion of the fastening system (i.e. 44) is located on the outer surface 24 of the mat.
The erotic stimulator device 10 also includes a sleeve 60 which may be considered a collection device. The sleeve 60 includes a ridge 61 located at the open end 62 of the sleeve with a closed end 64 located opposite the open end. The sleeve 60 also has an inner surface 66 and an outer surface 68. The sleeve 60 is a compliant material with one open end and comprised of a material which will provide a pleasurable sensation to assist with masturbation and ejaculation. The sleeve 60 can be made out of any material, natural or synthetic, which is known and accepted within the industry, for use in male stimulation/masturbation devices. The sleeve 60 can be made of natural material, man-made material, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the sleeve 60 is made of natural latex, synthetic latex, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, silicone, elastomer, thermal plastic elastomer, thermoplastic rubber, plastic, or a combination thereof. The sleeve 60 can also be reusable, washable, disposable, or a combination thereof.
In one embodiment, the mat 20 could be likened to an outer shell and the sleeve 60 could be likened to an inner shell. The mat 20 has various attachment points or mechanisms (fastening system 40) to provide for a secure closure as well as to provide a method by which to attach or secure the sleeve 60 while the device is being operated. In one embodiment, the erotic stimulator device also includes a sleeve guide ridge 50, a sleeve guide slot 55, or a combination thereof, located on the outer surface 24 of the mat 20 wherein the open end 62 of the sleeve 60 is placed or secured near the ridge 50 or slot 55. The mat 20 must have one end open (the proximal end 26) for insertion of the penis into the sleeve when fully assembled. The sleeve 60 is placed inside the mat 20 against the mat's inner surface 22 with the open ends (26 and 62) aligned for insertion of the penis. The mat 20 is then sealed to provide a snug and comfortable chamber which will retain the sleeve 60 and allow the penis to be inserted into the opening 70. Put another way, the sleeve 60 is an insert that acts as a lining for the interior of the device 10. This lining is the surface a user's penis will be in contact with during use. The sleeve 60 also catches the semen after orgasm. In one embodiment, the tightness of the mat 20 when rolled into a cylindrical shape is adjustable to a user's preference.
One embodiment of the erotic stimulator device 10 is a masturbation device for men. The mat 20 made out of soft material (60% Polyester, 40% cotton blend), hook and loop fastening system 41, and a 100% Polyester filling within the mat 20. The mat 20 may be made of natural fibers, natural yarns, natural threads, man-made fibers, man-made yarns, man-made threads, or a combination thereof. The mat 20 may also include spandex, cotton, muslin, foam, nylon, rope, string, cording, hook and loop fasteners, or a combination thereof. The device 10 is designed to be opened and lay flat (FIGS. 1A and 1B). Once laid flat, a sleeve 60 lays flat near the proximal end 26 of the device with the open end 62 laying 2 to 3 inches outside of the device (FIG. 2). The sleeve 60 is rolled up within the device (FIG. 3) until the hoop and loop fastening system 41 adheres shut and creates a cylindrical shape similar to the size of a can of tennis balls (FIGS. 4 and 5). The excess open end 62 of the sleeve 60 gets pulled down over the device (FIG. 4) and lubricant 80 is added (FIG. 5). The ridge 61 located on the open end 62 of the sleeve is hooked over a sleeve guide ridge 50 or placed within a sleeve guide slot 55 in order to hold the sleeve 60 in place while in use. The result is a tight hole (opening 70) that can be used for masturbation. On completion, the user can remove the sleeve 60 and dispose of the sleeve in a trash receptacle 90 (FIG. 6).
Another embodiment of the instant invention discloses an erotic stimulator device 10 comprising a mat 20 including an inner surface 22 and an outer surface 24, a hook and loop fastening system 41 wherein a hook portion 42 of the system is secured to one mat surface and a loop portion 44 of the system is secured to the opposite mat surface and a sleeve 60 having an open end 62 and a closed end 64.
