Title: Scrotum prophylactic device with a flavor strip

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates generally to prophylactic devices for protecting a portion of a human male&#39;s genitalia, and specifically to prophylactic devices for providing a barrier against disease transmission to or from a human male&#39;s scrotum. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     An important reason why many women feel uncomfortable with giving oral sex to a man—particularly where new sexual partners are concerned—is sexually transmitted disease. Today, many men are also concerned about exposing their partner to disease transmission due to intimate contact. 
     Many times when one engages in oral sex, one does not know the disease status of one&#39;s partner. Contrary to what many people believe, disease transmission during oral sex is a very real danger. For example, the oral transmission of herpes simplex, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and a host of other lesser-known STDs is common. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The invention is a scrotum prophylactic device that protects the scrotum from bodily fluids, such as saliva, and other secretions, such as vaginal secretions. The device includes a sack sized and shaped so as to contain a typical human male scrotum, the sack being made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), optionally having an elastic band around the opening. Thus, when the device includes an elastic band, the device has an opening that functions like the opening of a shower cap. 
     The invention empowers giver and receiver alike to partake in scrotal licking, without worrying about STD transmission. Further, the scrotum prophylactic invention addresses this problem in a manner that does not stifle the enjoyment of scrotal licking and sucking for the recipient, while making the experience almost 100% safe and more enjoyable for provider and recipient alike. Thus, the invention allows the male recipient of oral stimulation to feel the probing and warmth of the oral stimulation provider&#39;s tongue, without the risk of direct tongue-to-genital contact. 
     The scrotum prophylactic of the invention allows and encourages a person to have more oral sex, licking, and/or sucking of the scrotum of a male, especially T-bagging, i.e., taking a man&#39;s testicles into one&#39;s mouth. 
     The scrotum prophylactic invention provides a prophylactic/erotic enhancement breakthrough—one that serves the needs and preferences of both women and men. 
     The flavor strip allows a woman to perform scrotal licking while enjoying the aroma and taste of the flavor strip, such as cherry, vanilla, chocolate, raspberry, or other generally pleasant flavor. Meanwhile, her male partner derives almost all of the pleasures of oral sex, without any worries about disease transmission to or from his scrotum. 
     The scrotum prophylactic of the invention is also useful for gay and bisexual men. 
     A general aspect of the invention is a prophylactic device for protecting a scrotum of a human male. The prophylactic device includes: a sack having an opening, the sack configured to substantially contain a scrotum of a human male, the sack being made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), the opening including an elastic band that is configured to constrict around an upper portion of the scrotum; and a flavor strip running along an outside surface of the sack. 
     In some embodiments, the prophylactic device further includes: a silicone ring attached to the opening of the sack, the silicone ring configured to be stretched so as to be worn around one of: the upper portion of the scrotum; or a portion of a penis proximal to the scrotum. 
     In some embodiments, the silicone ring includes at least one sleeve, the sleeve configured to receive and secure a vibrator. 
     In some embodiments, the silicone ring includes two sleeves, each sleeve configured to receive and secure a vibrator, a first sleeve being on a top portion of the silicone ring, and a second sleeve being on a bottom portion of the silicone ring. 
     Another general aspect of the invention is a prophylactic device for protecting a scrotum of a human male, this prophylactic device including: a sack having an opening, the sack configured to substantially contain a scrotum of a human male, the sack being made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), the opening including an elastic band that is configured to constrict around an upper portion of the scrotum; a flavor strip running along an outside surface of the sack; and a silicone ring attached to the opening of the sack, the silicone ring configured to be stretched so as to be worn around one of: the upper portion of the scrotum; or a portion of a penis proximal to the scrotum. 
     In some embodiments, the silicone ring includes at least one sleeve, the sleeve configured to receive and secure a vibrator. 
     In some embodiments, the silicone ring includes two sleeves, each sleeve configured to receive and secure a vibrator, a first sleeve being on a top portion of the silicone ring, and a second sleeve being on a bottom portion of the silicone ring. 
     Yet another general aspect of the invention is a prophylactic device for protecting a scrotum of a human male, this prophylactic device including: a sack having an opening, the sack configured to substantially contain a scrotum of a human male, the sack being made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), the opening including an elastic band that is configured to constrict around an upper portion of the scrotum; a flavor strip running along an outside surface of the sack; and a silicone ring including at least one sleeve configured to receive and secure a vibrator, the silicon ring attached to the opening of the sack, the silicone ring configured to be stretched so as to be worn around one of: the upper portion of the scrotum; or a portion of a penis proximal to the scrotum. 
     In some embodiments, the silicone ring includes two sleeves, each sleeve configured to receive and secure a vibrator, a first sleeve of the two sleeves being on a top portion of the silicone ring, and a second sleeve of the two sleeves being on a bottom portion of the silicone ring.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     With reference to  FIG. 1 , a prophylactic device  100  is shown for protecting a scrotum of a human male. The prophylactic device  100  provides a sanitary barrier to permit licking sensations to reach the scrotum, without allowing potential pathogens to pass from the scrotum to the person licking, and without allowing potential pathogens to pass from the person licking to the scrotum. The prophylactic device  100  is made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE). LDPE is commonly used to make plastic bags. The prophylactic device  100  has an opening  110  at the top that is configured to expand resiliently so as to permit a male scrotum to be inserted into the prophylactic device  100 , the opening  110  then returning to its original size. An optional elastic band (not shown, but similar to the elastic band on a typical shower cap) can be secured to the device  100  around the opening  110  to add elasticity. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , the prophylactic device  100  is shaped and sized so as to contain and closely conform to the contours of a typical male scrotum  200 .
