CROSS-REFERENCES 
       [0001]    This patent application claims the benefit of provisional patent application no. 61/659,161 to Timothy O&#39;Reilly, entitled “Sexual Aid Device”, filed on Jun. 13, 2012, and which provisional application is fully incorporated by reference herein. 
     
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to a sexual aid device, and more specifically to a sexual aid device such as a dildo that can be easily modified. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    People often search for and purchase a sexual aid device such as a dildo or vibrator that they think will work well for them. It may be studded, ribbed, have various protrusions for stimulation and so on. It may be made of plastic, rubber, metal, etc. It may vibrate, shake, spin, etc. In all these cases, the customer will decide what he or she wants, and selects a product that may have some of the desired features. They may need to buy multiple products to get the device that they eventually want after some trial and error. After some time, he or she may become bored of the device and want something different. This starts the whole process over again and new products need to be purchased. There are currently no known dildoes or vibrators on the market that are re-configurable or upgradable. 
         [0004]    Thus there is a need for a sexual aid device that can be easily and quickly modified and that can overcome the above listed and other disadvantages. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

       [0032]      FIG. 1  shows an exploded view of the sexual aid device  10 . Comprising the device is a first head  14 . Attached to the first head is a shaft  18  with threads  20  on an end away from the first head of the shaft  18 . The first head  14  has a generally bulbous shape or generally spheroidal shape to generally look like and shaped like the head of a penis. However, the head  14  may comprise different shapes such as but not limited to a spherical shape, fist shaped, a narrow cylindrical shape, etc. Various inserts  22 ,  26 ,  30 ,  34 ,  38  are slideable over the threads  20  and over the shaft  18 , but are not slideable over the first head  14 . The various inserts may be of any suitable size, including but not limited to an outer diameter of about 4″ to about 1″. An end head  42  has internal threads configured to mate with the threads  20 . In one embodiment, the first head  14  may be permanently attached to the shaft  18 . In another embodiment, the first head  14  may be removeably attachable to the shaft  18  via a threaded connection. In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the first head and end head may be about 3″ to about 1″, and the outer diameter of the shaft  18  may be about 0.5″ to about 2″.

In one embodiment, the small first head  108  may have threads  111  that can screw onto threads on the shaft  104 . 
         [0048]      FIG. 44  shows a perspective view a large ball insert  120 . The shape of the large ball insert  120  may be generally spheroid. The large ball insert  120  may have two generally cylindrically shaped spacer sections  121 , each with an opening  122  to slide over the shaft  104 . The spacer sections  121  may help in separating other inserts that may be used with the device  100 .  FIG. 45  is a cross-sectional view of the large ball insert  120 . The large ball insert  120  may have an outer diameter of about 1″ to about 4″, and the spacer section  121  may extend generally about 0.15 to about 0.6″ from the surface of the large ball insert  120 . 
         [0049]      FIG. 46  shows a perspective view a medium ball insert  116 . The shape of the medium ball insert  116  may be generally spheroid. The medium ball insert  116  may have two generally cylindrically shaped spacer sections  117 , each with an opening  118  to slide over the shaft  104 . The spacer sections  117  may help in separating other inserts that may be used with the device  100 .  FIG. 47  is a cross-sectional view of the medium ball insert  116 . The medium ball insert  116  may have an outer diameter of about 0.75″ to about 3″, and the spacer section  117  may extend generally about 0.15 to about 0.6″ from the surface of the medium ball insert  116 . 
         [0050]      FIG. 48  shows a perspective view a small ball insert  112 . The shape of the small ball insert  112  may be generally spheroid. The small ball insert  112  may have two generally cylindrically shaped spacer sections  113 , each with an opening  114  to slide over the shaft  104 . The spacer sections  1131  may help in separating other inserts that may be used with the device  100 .  FIG. 49  is a cross-sectional view of the small ball insert  112 . The small ball insert  112  may have an outer diameter of about 0.5″ to about 2″, and the spacer section  113  may extend generally about 0.15 to about 0.6″ from the surface of the small ball insert  112 . 
         [0051]      FIG. 50  shows a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of end head  42 . In this embodiment, end head  42  has a vibrating motor  130  inside of it to provide a vibration component to the device. A power source  134  such as a battery is also inside the end head  42  and is in communication with the motor  130 . An offset weight  138  may be attached to the motor  130  to provide for greater vibration of the head  42 .  FIG. 51  shows another cross-sectional view of the end head from  FIG. 50 . 
         [0052]    This invention has many advantages. The modular design of the sexual aid allows one to re-configure, re-arrange, or upgrade the device with various inserts at any time. The user can take it apart and slide on various inserts as desired. The end head can be quickly unscrewed from the shaft, and the inserts changed out for various types of stimulations. The device may be used with the human mouth, vagina, and/or anus. 
         [0053]    The disclosed sexual aid device may be made out of any suitable material, including but not limited to stainless steel, plastic, silicon, nylon, rubber. The surface of the sexual aid device may be generally smooth, except for those components with bumps, rings, or ridges. 
         [0054]    It should be noted that the terms “first”, “second”, and “third”, and the like may be used herein to modify elements performing similar and/or analogous functions. These modifiers do not imply a spatial, sequential, or hierarchical order to the modified elements unless specifically stated. 
         [0055]    While the disclosure has been described with reference to several embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the disclosure. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the disclosure without departing from the essential scope thereof.
