Description:
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
       [0001]    This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application 62/274,348, filed on Jan. 3, 2016, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth. 
     
    
     FIELD OF INVENTION 
       [0002]    The present application is generally related to a masturbation device and is more particularly related to lubrication device and system for increased pleasure, and a device and system for providing lubrication to masturbation devices of all kinds of masturbation devices. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    Several known masturbation devices presently exist that are used by both men and women. 
         [0004]    For men, existing masturbation devices are generally manual devices that include a hard outer housing and a soft interior sleeve. The sleeve is generally molded to resemble a human orifice and is dimensioned to accommodate a sex organ. The device typically includes a removable cap to access the interior of the sleeve and outer housing. The cap generally includes threading to allow quick attachment and detachment to the assembly. The outer housing also typically includes an opening used for exhaust, i.e. air, and for cleaning. A user manually maneuvers the device back and forth to cause a sensation on the user&#39;s sex organ. Some known masturbation devices are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,782,818 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,807,360. 
         [0005]    Lubricant may be manually applied to the interior of the sleeve to reduce friction between the sex organ and the sleeve and increase a user&#39;s pleasure. During usage, lubricant is dissipated or absorbed and the effectiveness of the lubricant diminishes. The user must then stop stimulation, manually remove the cap from the device, and supply more lubricant. Other known masturbation devices include life sized or “real” dolls that resemble humans. Such dolls have orifices for insertion. A user must manually apply lubricant to such devices. 
         [0006]    Female masturbation devices include stimulators, dildos, vibrators and insertion devices of various kinds. Such devices must be manually coated with a lubricant if that is desired by a user. 
         [0007]    It would be desirable to have a masturbation supply device that allows for automatic application of lubrication that is also easy to use. 
         [0008]    It would further be desirable to have a masturbation device that allows for application of lubrication in a focused area where pleasure is desired. 
         [0009]    It would further be desirable to have a masturbation device that provides lubrication at a selected or desired time. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0010]    A masturbation assembly is disclosed in the present application that provides an improved lubrication mechanism providing for the application of lubricant with minimal effort. In one embodiment, the masturbation assembly includes a heating element to heat the lubricant. In another embodiment, the masturbation assembly is motorized. 
         [0011]    In an aspect of the present invention, a masturbation assembly is provided including a housing, a reservoir in communication with the housing where the reservoir is configured to retain a quantity of lubricant, and a valve controlling the passage of the lubricant from the reservoir to the housing. The valve can be actuated by a user, or automatically actuated. Various types of valves can be used according to the invention.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       [0029]      FIG. 1  illustrates a lubricant supply assembly including a housing  1010  that defines a lubricant reservoir  1020 . The term “lubricant” is used herein to describe the fluid held in the lubricant reservoir  1020  that is used for lubrication of body parts during masturbation or sex, and encompasses oils, water based gels, silicon based gels, K-Y JELLY™, ASTROGLIDE™, and other lubricants known in the art. Moreover, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that other fluids could be contained within the lubricant reservoir  1020 . 
         [0030]    A cap  1030  is provided on an end of the housing  1010 . The cap  1030  preferably is screwed onto a correspondingly threaded portion of the housing  1010 . An actuator assembly  1040  is provided in communication with the housing  1010 . Specifically, the actuator assembly  1040  is in communication with a valve assembly  1050  within the housing  1010 . A simplified line of communication is shown in  FIG. 1  between the actuator assembly  1040  and the valve assembly  1050 , which can include any form of communication capable of sending signals from the actuator assembly  1040  to the valve assembly  1050 . The valve assembly  1050  preferably includes a one-way check valve that controls the flow and volume of lubricant exiting the lubricant reservoir  1020 . The actuator assembly  1040  can include a pump that controls and/or drives the flow of lubricant through the valve body  1050 . 
         [0031]    A first conduit  1025  is defined between the lubricant reservoir  1020  and the valve body  1050 , and a second conduit  1035  is defined between the valve body  1050  and a delivery assembly  1060 . A first port  1026  is provided at an end of the first conduit  1025  in communication with the lubricant reservoir  1020 , and a second port  1036  is provided at an end of the second conduit  1035  in communication with the delivery assembly  1060 . The first conduit  1025  and the second conduit  1035  provide a channel to deliver lubricant from the lubricant reservoir  1020  to the delivery assembly  1060 . One of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that the first conduit  1025  and second conduit  1035  can include check valves to prevent the backflow of lubricant. Other hydraulic fluid regulators can be provided in the first conduit  1025  and/or the second conduit  1035  to provide for reliable flow of lubricant from the lubricant reservoir  1020  to the delivery assembly  1060 . Generally, the assembly of  FIG. 1  provides an improved configuration for delivering lubricant from the lubricant reservoir  1020  to the delivery assembly  1060 , i.e. the lubricant receiving portion. 
         [0032]    The delivery assembly  1060  is shown generically in  FIG. 1 , but can include any shape, for example a sleeve configured to receive a male sex organ or a phallic shaped object. Further embodiments of types and shapes of delivery assemblies are described below with respect to the other figures. 
         [0033]    The delivery assembly  1060  of  FIG. 1  preferably includes a sensor  1065 . The sensor  1065  can include any known type of sensor, including a piezoelectric sensor, shock sensor, motion sensor, pressure sensor, temperature sensor, break-beam sensor, etc. The sensor  1065  is configured to detect any type of stimulus inside or adjacent to the delivery assembly  1060  and generate a signal related to the stimulus. The signal can then be used to vary the amount, temperature, frequency, or any other variable related to the lubricant being delivered to the delivery assembly  1060 . 
         [0034]    The actuator assembly  1040  preferably includes a CPU unit  1070  with a memory unit, power supply, and processor. The power supply can include any known power supply configuration, such as a battery. A transmitter/receiver unit  1080  is also provided in communication with the CPU unit  1070 . The transmitter/receiver unit  1080  can be in wired or wireless communication with an external signaling source, such as the internet, via Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi®. The CPU unit  1070  can store pre-programmed signal impulses regarding frequency, volume, temperature, and other lubricant variables. The CPU unit  1070  can also be in communication with a videogame application that sends impulses to the CPU unit  1070  based on events in the videogame application. Based on these received impulses or signals, different variables regarding the delivery of lubricant to the delivery assembly  1060  are adjusted. 
         [0035]    A heater unit  1090  is provided adjacent to the lubricant reservoir  1020  in the housing  1010 . The heater unit  1090  is provided to heat lubricant in the lubricant reservoir  1020  prior to delivery to the delivery assembly  1060 . The heater unit  1090  can receive signals from the CPU unit  1070  regarding variables for heating the lubricant, such as duration, temperature, etc. Simplified communication lines are illustrated between the actuator assembly  1040 , the sensor  1065  of the delivery assembly  1060 , the lubricant reservoir  1020 , and the heater unit  1090 , however one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that any form of communication, both electrical and hydraulic, could be provided between these components. 
         [0036]    Referring now to  FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, and 4 , a masturbation assembly  1  according to an embodiment includes a first housing  4  and a second housing  5 , with the first housing  4  shown in the bottom half of  FIGS. 2A-2C  and the second housing  5  shown in the top half of  FIGS. 2A-2C . The embodiment of  FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, and 4  can be considered a manual masturbation assembly, in that the dispensing of lubricant is initiated, actuated, and/or controlled by the pressing action of a user. The first housing  4  includes an orifice  3  at a first end  4   a  opposite from the second housing  5 . The first housing  4  is fixed to a first end  5   a  of the second housing  5  at a second end  4   b  of the first housing  4 . The first end  5   a  includes a transition portion  60  that connects the first housing  4  and the second housing  5 . 
         [0037]    A soft, plastic material sleeve  2  is arranged within the first housing  4  and is in communication with the orifice  3 . The sleeve  2  is preferably formed from a polymeric gel. The sleeve  2  is semi-rigid and elastically deformable to accommodate a user&#39;s sex organ, i.e. a penis. As shown in  FIGS. 2A-2C and 3 , the sleeve  2  extends axially beyond the first housing  4 . This configuration ensures that during usage, contact is limited between the user&#39;s sex organ to only the sleeve  2  of the assembly  1 , and not the hard outer first housing  4 . A length of the sleeve  2  is preferably more than half of a length of the first housing  4 . This arrangement provides for a compact axial footprint of the overall assembly  1 . 
         [0038]    In one embodiment, the first housing  4  is similar to the masturbation shell, shown as element  101  in U.S. Provisional App. 62/191,063, which is incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth. The first housing  4  can include sensation imparting elements, such as bumps, protrusions or beads along an interior of the first housing  4  within the sleeve  2  for providing increased sensation as described in U.S. Provisional App. 62/191,063. 
         [0039]    As shown in  FIGS. 2A-2C , the second housing  5  includes a containment vessel  22  that forms a reservoir on an axially opposite end  5   b  of the second housing  5  from the first housing  4 . The containment vessel  22  includes a reservoir of lubricant  23 , and is in fluid connection with a first hollow cylindrical member  20  via a port  22   c.    
         [0040]    As shown in  FIGS. 2A-2C , in one embodiment, a top portion  1 A of the assembly  1  is a lubricant supply assembly  1 A, and the bottom portion  1 B is a sex toy housing  1 B. The lubricant supply assembly  1 A includes the lubricant reservoir  23  and a lubricant delivery assembly axially below the lubricant reservoir  23 . The lubricant delivery assembly is defined by a dispensing spout  50  and the elements axially between the reservoir  23  and the dispensing spout  50 . The top portion  1 A includes a threading  71  that is configured to engage with a corresponding threading  70  on the bottom portion  1 B. Using these threadings  70 ,  71 , the lubricant supply assembly  1 A can be matingly engaged with and secured to an existing sex toy housing  1 B. A user can twist the top portion  1 A with respect to the bottom portion  1 B to secure the two portions to each other. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that other securing means can be used, such as a stretchable gripping ring on an end of the top portion  1 A that engages with an end of the bottom portion  1 B. In one embodiment, a lubricant delivery assembly is defined by the conduits extending between the lubricant reservoir downward to a dispensing spout  50  and plug  80 , which engages in the bottom portion  1 B. 
         [0041]    The containment vessel  22  includes a screw thread  22   a  which matingly engages with a corresponding threaded cap  22   b  for closing the containment vessel  22 . Once the containment vessel  22  is matingly attached to the threaded cab  22   b,  the lubricant  23  is captively secured within the containment vessel  22  and cannot leak or otherwise spill out of the assembly  1 . One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize from the present application that other configurations could be used to seal the lubricant  23  within the containment vessel  22 . 
         [0042]    The first hollow cylindrical member  20  houses a valving system for controlling and/or regulating the supply of lubricant from the containment vessel  22  to the interior of a portion of the first housing  4 . A first check valve  33  preferably comprises a first valve seat  11  arranged adjacent to the containment vessel  22  at an end of the port  22   c,  a first valve ball  26  or stopper, and a first spring  34  for pressing the first valve ball  26  against the first valve seat  11  to block the port  22   c.  The first valve seat  11 , the first valve ball  26 , and the first spring  34  form the first check valve  33  within the first hollow cylindrical member  20  to prevent lubricant  23  from inadvertently leaking out of the containment vessel  22  via the port  22   c.  One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize from the present application that other variations of a check valve could be used within the first hollow cylindrical member  20  to control and/or regulate the supply or passage of lubricant. Other known check valves include a diaphragm check valve, a swing check valve, or a lift check valve. 
         [0043]    The first hollow cylindrical member  20  connects to a first cap  35  including a first through-hole  29 . The first through-hole  29  provides a fluid communication path from the first hollow cylindrical member  20  to a second hollow cylindrical member  30 . A first axial end  30   a  of the second hollow cylindrical member  30  is connected to the first hollow cylindrical member  20 , and a second axial end  30   b  of the second hollow cylindrical member  30  terminates at a dispensing spout  50 . The second hollow cylindrical member  30  includes an outer wall  31  that defines an inner chamber. 
         [0044]    As shown in  FIGS. 2A-2C , the containment vessel  22  and the first hollow cylindrical member  20  are arranged concentrically within a dispensing button  24 , which is preferably cylindrical. The dispensing button  24  is concentrically arranged within an outer shell  27  of the second housing  5 . Although not explicitly illustrated, the dispensing button  24  can be slidably and captively sealed within the outer shell  27 . The dispensing button  24  is configured to actuate one or more valves within the assembly  1  to allow a user to dispense lubricant from the containment vessel  22  through the dispensing spout  50  to the sleeve  2  by applying an axially downward pressure on the dispensing button  24 . 
         [0045]    A second check valve  43  may also be included as part of the valving system. The second hollow cylindrical member  30  is similar to the first hollow cylindrical member  20  and includes the second check valve  43  with a second valve seat  17 , a second valve ball  13 , and a second spring  15  for biasing the second valve ball  13  against the second valve seat  17 . The second valve  43  effectively creates a vacuum to suck lubricant out of the reservoir and into the first hollow cylindrical member  20 . 
         [0046]    The second hollow cylindrical member  30  includes a second cap  36  and a piston member  38  on an axially opposite end from the first hollow cylindrical member  20 . The second hollow cylindrical member  30  and the piston member  38  effectively form a piston during movement into the first hollow cylindrical member  20 . The second cap  36  and the piston member  38  provide a fluid connection to the dispensing spout  50  such that lubricant can flow from the containment vessel  22  to the dispensing spout  50 . An outer diameter of the second cap  36  is slightly smaller than an inner diameter of the second hollow cylindrical member  30 . The second cap  36  includes a second through-hole  39  that provides a communication pathway to the piston  38  and the dispensing spout  50 . The second hollow cylindrical member  30  is concentrically received within the first hollow cylindrical member  20 , i.e. an outer diameter of the second hollow cylindrical member  30  is less than an inner diameter of the first hollow cylindrical member  20 . The second hollow cylindrical member  30  is slidably received within an enlarged end  40  first hollow cylindrical member  20 . 
         [0047]    The dispensing spout  50  is preferably a flexible tube defining an inner bore that directs lubricant from the piston  38  to the sleeve  2 . A delivery hose  70  is provided that allows air to escape from orifice  3  in the sleeve  2  during use of the assembly  1 . The delivery hose  70  is connected at one end to the sleeve  2  via a plug  80 . An opposite end of the delivery hose  70  preferably terminates outside of the first housing  4 . The plug  80  is inserted into a rear opening of the sleeve  2  opposite from the orifice  3  end of the sleeve  2 . The plug  80  preferably includes two ports: a first port  81  dimensioned for receiving an end of the dispensing spout  50  and a second port  82  dimensioned for receiving an end of the delivery hose  70 . The plug  80  is preferably semi-malleable such that the plug  80  can be press-fit into an end of the sleeve  2  and remain fixed during operation of the assembly  1 . An adhesive or other fastening arrangement can be used to fix the plug  80  to the sleeve  2 . 
         [0048]    As shown in  FIGS. 2A-2C , multiple dispensing spouts  50  can be provided. In one embodiment, the dispensing spouts branch off from a common dispensing spout  50 , as shown in  FIGS. 2A-2C . The ports for dispensing spouts are shown on the sleeve  2  as ports  50   a,    50   b,  and  50   c.  This configuration ensures that lubricant  23  is distributed along an entire extent of the sleeve  2  and provides enhanced lubrication to the user&#39;s sex organ during usage. The ports  50   a,    50   b,    50   c  are spaced axially along the sleeve  2  at an approximately uniform distance from each other. The ports  50   a,    50   b,    50   c  are also circumferentially spaced along the interior of the sleeve  2  to provide for more uniform distribution of lubricant  23  than having a single dispensing spout  50  only at an axial end of the sleeve  2 . 
         [0049]    As shown in  FIG. 2C , during operation, user presses down in the axially downward direction (D 1 ) on the containment vessel  22  and causes pressure to build in the first cylindrical member  20  forcing the second ball  13  to disengage from valve seat  17  causing lubricant to flow through dispensing spout  50  into the sleeve  2 . After the containment vessel  22  and the first cylindrical member  20  reach their lowest positions, the first spring  34  provides a biasing force that forces the first cylindrical member  20  to move to an initial position. The second ball  13  is biased to once again engage the second valve seat  17  and forms a vacuum in the first cylindrical member  20 . The first ball  26  is then forced away from the first valve seat  11  and lubricant  23  is extracted from the containment vessel  22  and into the first cylindrical member  20 . Next, if the containment vessel  22  and the first cylindrical member  20  are pressed downward again, then lubricant in the first cylindrical member  20  is discharged from dispensing spout  50 . 
         [0050]      FIGS. 2D and 2E  illustrate an embodiment of a masturbation assembly  1 ′ similar to the first embodiment described above with respect to  FIGS. 2A-2C . All of the elements are similar to the elements discussed above with respect to  FIGS. 2A-2C  and are annotated with a prime notation. Unless specifically discussed with respect to  FIGS. 2D and 2E , elements having the same numerical indicator have a substantially similar structure and function as discussed above. In the masturbation assembly  1 ′ of  FIGS. 2D and 2E , the masturbation assembly  2 ′ is a self-contained body, i.e. lacks a housing  4  as discussed above. The masturbation assembly  1 ′ includes a housing  5   c ′ connected at one end to the lubrication assembly components, and connected at an opposite end to a sex toy housing  2 ′. The housing  5   c ′ is preferably a flexible rubber cup-like component with an open end  6 ′. The open end  6 ′ is dimensioned to accommodate an end of the sex toy  2 ′ opposite from an orifice  3 ′ of the sex toy  2 ′. The housing  5   c ′ is flexible and the open end  6 ′ of the housing  5   c ′ stretches to wrap around and engage an upper end of the sex toy  2 ′ such that the housing  5   c ′ is fixedly attached to the sex toy  2 ′. The lubrication assembly above the housing  5   c ′ can then supply lubricant to the sex toy  2 ′ as described herein. 
         [0051]    As shown in  FIG. 4 , the first cylindrical member  20  and the second cylindrical member  30  include threaded end portions that engage with a respective one of the caps  35 ,  36 . 
         [0052]    A second embodiment of the assembly  101  is shown in  FIG. 5 . The embodiment of  FIG. 5  can be considered a motorized, electric or electrically assisted masturbation assembly, in that the dispensing of lubricant is initiated, actuated, and/or controlled by the pressing action of a user and a motor, such as a battery operated motor. The masturbation assembly preferably includes a first housing  104 , an orifice  103 , a sleeve  102 , and a second housing  105 . The assembly  101  of the second embodiment includes a mechanized arrangement  106  for pumping lubricant  123  from the containment vessel  122 . As shown in  FIG. 5 , this assembly  101  includes a positive displacement pumping mechanism which includes an intake vessel  135  in communication with the containment vessel  122  and a displacement vessel  125 . As shown in  FIG. 5 , a valve  129  is arranged between the displacement vessel  125  and the intake vessel  135 . The displacement vessel  125  is preferably a cylindrical vessel in which a displacement screw  126  is arranged. The displacement screw  126  is rotationally driven by a motor  127 , and rotation of the displacement screw  126  forces lubricant  123  from the containment vessel  122  to the intake vessel  135 , through the displacement vessel  125 , and into an exhaust vessel  128 . Although  FIG. 5  illustrates the assembly  101  as including the exhaust vessel  128 , one of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that the lubricant  123  could be driven directly from the intake vessel  135  to the displacement vessel  125  and then to the dispensing spout  150 . A plug  139  is shown in  FIG. 5  as securing an end of the dispensing spout  150  to the exhaust vessel  128 . 
         [0053]    It is appreciated that the embodiment of  FIG. 5  may include any type of pump, such as a push-button battery-operated pump, to control the flow of lubricant from a lubricant reservoir portion to a lubricant delivery portion. Other known types of pumps that can be used include direct lift, displacement, gravity, rotary displacement, reciprocating positive displacement, screw, plunger, impulse, as well as any other known pump to one of ordinary skill in the art. 
         [0054]    The assembly  101  of the second embodiment may preferably include a processor  195  which serves to control the operational state of the motor  127 . The processor  195  is configured to receive user input and receive wireless data. In an embodiment, the processor  195  includes a Wi-Fi® internet connection or wired internet connection, such that the assembly  101  is configured to receive input from an external source or third party, i.e. not the user. The processor  195  is preferably connected to a wireless transmitter/receiver unit  130 . For example, a third party can offer a sexual simulation program that simulates sex with a user via remotely controlling the motor  127  of the assembly  101 . 
         [0055]    As shown in  FIG. 5 , the sleeve  102  includes a deformable sleeve  197  with a processor  198  and a motor  199  that manipulates a shape of the deformable sleeve  197  based on input received by the processor  198 . The input received by the processor  198  can be sent via the wireless transmitter unit  130  or otherwise delivered to the processor  198 . For example, a user can preset a manipulation program for the deformable sleeve  197  which is then maneuvered according to the program, thereby providing additional stimulation to a user&#39;s sex organ through the sleeve  102 . In one embodiment, a third party remotely controls manipulation of the deformable sleeve  197  and sleeve  102  via a wireless or wired connection through the processor  198 . 
         [0056]    A dial  140  allows for incremental adjustment of a speed of the motor  127 , which also regulates the volume of lubricant  123  that is ultimately delivered to the sleeve  102 . Adjusting the dial  140  and the speed of the motor  127  controls the volume of lubricant  123  that is displaced when the motor  127  is activated. A battery  190  provides power to the motor  127  through the processor  195 , which can include a controller. The battery  190  is preferably rechargeable and can be charged via an AC/DC power charging cord, a USB charging cord, or other charging arrangement. 
         [0057]    The assembly  101  can also include a button  179  for activating a pump  185  to pump lubricant  123  into the sleeve  102 . In one embodiment, the button  179  is configured to control the pump  185  such that the pump  185  pumps lubricant  123  directly from the containment vessel  122  to the dispensing spout  150  without requiring operation of the displacement screw  126 . The assembly  101  allows a user to press and hold a button  179  and thereby pump lubricant  123  from the containment vessel  122  into the sleeve  102 . When a user releases the button  179 , the pumping action ceases. 
         [0058]    As shown in  FIGS. 6A and 6B , a third embodiment of the assembly  201  includes a lock mechanism  214  with a first screw thread  216  that screws onto a second screw thread  215  if a user pushes down on a dispensing button  224  and twists the dispensing button  224 . The first screw thread  216  is arranged at an end of the dispensing button  224 , and the second screw thread  215  is arranged at an end of the second housing  205  adjacent to the first housing  204 . The downward and twisting movement of the dispensing button  224  engages the first screw thread  216  of the second housing  205  with the second screw thread  215  of the dispensing button  224  and causing a positive lock between the dispensing button  224  and the second housing  205  to lock the dispensing button  224  in a lower position, shown in  FIG. 6 b   . This locking arrangement prevents further inadvertent pressing of the dispensing button  224 , which may lead to undesirable spilling of lubricant  223  from the containment vessel  222 . The locking arrangement also presses the first ball  226  firmly into the first valve seat  211  which prevents leakage of the lubricant  223  from the containment vessel  222 . 
         [0059]    As shown in  FIGS. 6A and 6B , the third embodiment of the assembly  201  includes a temperature controller  280  in the dispensing button  224 . One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize from the present application that the temperature controller  280  could be arranged anywhere within the assembly  201 . The temperature controller  280  regulates current generated by a battery  285  to flow through a positive thermal resistance ceramic lining  290  of the containment vessel  222 . The ceramic lining  290  of the containment vessel  222  heats up and thereby heats lubricant  223  contained therein. The temperature controller  280  is configured to heat the containment vessel  222  until the lubricant  223  therein reaches a target temperature set by a user. One of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that the temperature controller  280  can be configured to detect temperature of the lubricant  223 , the containment vessel  222 , or any other surrounding component. The assembly  201  includes a toggle button  275  that is configured to be engaged by a user to set a target temperature for the temperature controller  280 . A display  270  is arranged on an outer surface of the assembly  201  and is configured to display (1) a current temperature of the lubricant  223  or the containment vessel  222 , and (2) a target temperature of the lubricant  223  or the containment vessel  222 . A thermocouple  286  is arranged within the containment vessel  222  and generates data related to the current temperature of the lubricant  223  contained within vessel  222 . The thermocouple  286  is in communication with the temperature controller  280 , and provides data to the temperature controller  280  regarding temperature. The temperature controller  280  can then either send a signal to the ceramic lining  290  to heat up. The third embodiment of the assembly  201  allows a user to control the temperature of the lubricant dispensed into orifice  203  for greater realism and more pleasurable and comfortable use. A lubricant vessel  231  is provided with a check valve  230  and a check valve ball  213 . A valve seat  236  is provided at a bottom end of the lubricant vessel  231 . 
         [0060]    Unless otherwise described above, all components that are not specifically discussed in the second and third embodiments are similar to the components of the first embodiment, such as the first housings  4 ,  104 , and  204 , and the dispensing spouts  50 ,  150 ,  250 , etc. 
         [0061]    As shown in  FIG. 7 , a doll  300  is provided that includes a groin region  310  configured to receive a masturbation assembly  301 . The masturbation assembly  301  of  FIG. 7  can include a sleeve  302  with the same features as described above with respect to any one of the assemblies  1 ,  101 , and/or  201 . The doll  300  is of a well-known design, such as described in U.S. Pub. 2004/0122287, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. The assemblies  1 ,  101 ,  201  can be removably attachable to the groin region  310  of the doll  300 , which allows for alternatively shaped assemblies  1 ,  101 ,  201  to be inserted into the same doll  300 , as well as making cleaning the assemblies  1 ,  101 ,  201  easier. 
         [0062]    As shown in  FIG. 8 , a masturbation assembly  401  is provided including an elongated member  410 . The elongated member  410  is similar to the device as shown and described in U.S. Patent Pub. 2015/0366748, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. The elongated member  410  is preferably shaped to resemble a penis. In one embodiment, the masturbation assembly  401  is configured to include the containment vessel  22  of the first embodiment of the assembly  1 , such that the masturbation assembly  401  can controllably supply lubrication to the elongated member  410 . The elongated member  410  can include a plurality of ports  420   a,    420   b,    420   c  axially and circumferentially spaced apart from one another as shown in  FIG. 8 . The plurality of ports  420   a,    420   b,    420   c  can be provided in any spatial configuration and are configured to controllably receive and distribute lubrication to the elongated member  410 . The heating elements and/or the motorized elements described above can be incorporated into the masturbation assembly  401 . The masturbation assembly  401  can also include a wireless transmitter for receiving impulse signals similar to element  130  in  FIG. 5 . 
         [0063]    As shown in  FIGS. 9A and 9B , a flow regulator  500  is provided that controls a flow of fluid or lubricant. The flow regulator  500  includes a tube  510  that passes through a regulator housing  520 . The regulator housing  520  defines a channel  530  and includes a knob  540  that is slidably arranged within the channel  530 . The knob  540  is guided within the channel  530  on an angle such that a first passage is defined between the knob  540  and an internal portion of the regulator housing  520  at a first end  522  of the regulator housing  520  (shown in  FIG. 9A ), and a second passage is defined between the knob  540  and the internal portion of the regulator housing  520  at a second, opposite end  524  of the regulator housing  520  (shown in  FIG. 9B ). As illustrated by dashed lines in  FIG. 9A , the tube  510  is completely pinched when the knob  540  is at the first end  522  of the regulator housing  520 , which results in a blockage of any fluid or lubricant from passing through the flow regulator  500 . Once the knob  540  is moved away from the first end of the regulator housing  520  towards the second end  524  of the regulator housing  520 , the flow of fluid or lubricant increases as the pinching of the tube  510  is relieved. The knob  540  can consist of a toothed wheel that rotates as it is pushed in either direction within the channel  530  of the regulator housing  520 . The flow of fluid or lubricant can vary from a complete blockage of fluid or lubricant when the knob  540  is at the first end  522  of the regulator housing  520  to an unimpeded flow of fluid or lubricant when the knob  540  is at the second end  524  of the regulator housing  520 . A partial flow can be regulated by positioning the knob  540  at any position between the first end  522  and the second end  524 . Once a user sets the knob  540  in a position within the channel  530 , the knob  540  is locked in a set position until the user once again engages the knob  540 . 
         [0064]      FIG. 10  illustrates a dispensing mechanism  600  including the flow regulator  500  of  FIGS. 9A and 9B . The dispensing mechanism  600  controls the flow of fluid or lubrication to a sleeve  610 . The dispensing mechanism  600  includes a housing  620  with the sleeve  610  arranged within the housing  620 . The sleeve  610  includes a sleeve orifice  612  that is aligned with a housing orifice  622 . The orifices  612 ,  622  are dimensioned to receive a user&#39;s sexual organ, i.e. a user&#39;s penis. The dispensing mechanism  600  includes a lubricant supply assembly  630  with a lubricant reservoir balloon  640 . The lubricant reservoir balloon  640  defines a pocket for lubrication. One of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that lubrication could be resupplied to the lubricant reservoir balloon  640  via an external screw cap, or removing and refilling the lubricant reservoir balloon  640 . The lubricant reservoir balloon  640  is formed from a polymeric or rubber material and contracts as lubrication exits the lubricant reservoir balloon  640 . A tube  642  extends between the lubricant reservoir balloon  640  and an end  660  of the tube  642  that terminates within the sleeve  610 . The tube  642  directs lubrication from the lubricant reservoir balloon  640  into the sleeve  610 . A one-way check valve  650  is arranged within the tube  642  which prevents backflow of the lubricant backward to the lubricant reservoir balloon  640 . As shown in  FIG. 10 , the flow regulator  500  is arranged on the tube  642  adjacent to the check valve  650 . The lubricant reservoir balloon  640  is arranged adjacent to an internal region  614  of the sleeve  610 . As shown in  FIG. 10 , the internal region  614  is defined longitudinally inwards from the sleeve orifice  612 . As a user penetrates the dispensing mechanism  600  and the user&#39;s sex organ is inserted within the internal region  614  of the sleeve  610 , the sleeve  610  is forced radially outwards in an area of the internal region  614  which compresses and squeezes the lubricant reservoir balloon  640 . As the lubricant reservoir balloon  640  is compressed and squeezed due to a radially outward pressure from the sleeve  610  due to the user&#39;s sex organ, the lubricant reservoir balloon  640  forces lubricant out of the lubricant reservoir balloon  640  and into the tube  642 . The flow regulator  500  then modulates the flow of this lubricant which is expelled from the lubricant reservoir balloon  640  to the terminating end  660  of the tube  642  within the sleeve  610 . The dimensions of the lubricant reservoir balloon  640  can be modified to be larger or smaller, which would alter the amount of input pressure from a user&#39;s sexual organ required to deform the internal region  614  of the sleeve  610  to disperse lubricant. The dispensing mechanism  600  does not require any mechanized pump or lubricant dispensing device, and as such, this embodiment is considered a “self-lubricating” configuration due to its lack of external motors, pumps, or other devices required for pumping lubricant to the sleeve. A user can adjust the volume of lubricant that is expelled from the lubricant reservoir balloon  640  by adjusting the position of the knob  540  on the flow regulator  500 . 
         [0065]      FIG. 11  illustrates a perspective view of a masturbation assembly  1100  including a sex toy housing  1101  and a pump housing assembly  1105  attached to the end of the sex toy housing  1101 . Existing sex toy housings  1101  include an opening on an opposite end of an orifice intended to accommodate a sex organ of a user. This opening is typically referred to as an exhaust opening. The pump housing assembly  1105  can be screwed onto a corresponding threading on the end of the sex toy housing  1101  or otherwise fastened to the end of the sex toy housing  1101 . The pump housing assembly  1105  can provide lubricant to an internal area of a sleeve of the sex toy housing  1101  via any one of the pumps described above. For example, the pump housing assembly  1105  can include the lubricant reservoir  23 , check valve  33 , and lubricant dispensing elements discussed above. A dispensing spout (similar to the one described above as dispensing spout  50  in  FIGS. 2A-2C ) can then provide a controlled release of lubricant from inside the pump housing assembly  1105  to the inside of the sex toy housing  1101 . The sex toy housing  1101  can include any known existing sex toy, such as a Fleshlight® sex toy. The pump housing assembly  1105  includes an attaching end  1110  that is configured to fasten to an existing exhaust end of the sex toy housing  1101 . The attaching end  1110  is dimensioned to fixedly engage with an existing sex toy. The attaching end  1110  can include a mating thread for the exhaust end of the sex toy housing  1101  or a deformable portion that can be plugged into the exhaust end of the sex toy housing  1101  such that the pump housing assembly  1105  is mated with the sex toy housing  1101 . The pump housing  1105  can include any of the features described above, such as a wireless connection, Bluetooth® connection, heating element, mechanized pump element, display element, or any of the elements discussed above in  FIGS. 1-10 . 
         [0066]      FIGS. 12A-12E  illustrate a masturbation assembly  1200  attached to an existing sex toy  1201 . As shown in  FIG. 12A , the masturbation assembly  1200  is dimensioned to be attached to an end  1204  of the sex toy  1201 . The masturbation assembly  1200  includes a flexible sleeve that is attachable to the end  1204  of the sex toy  1201 . The assembly  1200  includes a pump housing assembly  1205 , similar to the second housing  5  described above. The assembly  1200  includes a containment vessel  1222  and a corresponding cap  1222   b  to hold the lubricant within the containment vessel  1222 .  FIG. 12B  illustrates the assembly  1200  without the cap  1222   b,  and  FIG. 12C  shows an underside of the cap  1222   b.    FIG. 12D  illustrates the masturbation assembly  1200  detached from the sex toy  1201 . In this view, a stem  1238  with an opening for lubricant is shown. This stem  1238  extends into an opening on the sex toy  1201  in the assembled state shown in  FIG. 12A . A locking member  1214  is shown in this view which attaches the masturbation assembly  1200  to the sex toy  1201  in the assembled state.  FIG. 12E  illustrates the masturbation assembly  1200  with a dispensing spout  1250  surrounding the stem  1238 . The dispensing spout  1250  extends into the sex toy  1201  in an assembled state and directs lubricant to the internal area of a sleeve of the sex toy  1201 . 
         [0067]    In another embodiment, the lubricant reservoir is contained in a housing, similar to the first housing  4 , and the housing is a disposable cartridge. The disposable cartridge can be attached to any existing sex toy. The disposable cartridge can be squeezed or otherwise activated to dispense lubricant downwards to an orifice of a sex toy. The disposable cartridge can include a thread, snap-on, or other fastening means to attach the disposable cartridge to the sex toy. 
         [0068]    One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that any of the components from any one of the Figures could be incorporated into any other one of the Figures with slight modifications.
