FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
         [0001]    The invention relates to a device for providing males with the means to enlarge and enhance the size and shape of their penis without the use of drugs or medicaments, natural or herbal formulas and to further provide males with a means of solving and correcting the problem of a small or misshapen penis and to help the male to overcome the negative psychological and sexual impacts of same, as well as to provide a means to treat female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) when engaging in sexual contact and sexual intercourse directly as a result of the increased penetration and stimulation from the device which will enhance and increase the ability of females who experience FSD and FSAD as well as all other women to achieve increased sexual arousal, orgasm and total sexual satisfaction.  
         DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART  
         [0002]    In the United States alone there are about 100 million adult males, many of whom are sexually active, who must deal with women who have female sexual dysfunction (FSD) or female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) and other women as well who experience the lack of sexual arousal and sexual satisfaction. There are about 100 million adult females in the United States of which over 40 million experience FSD or FSAD. Additionally, there are tens of millions more who, because of their partner&#39;s physiological penis size and shape, experience problems with sexual arousal, stimulation and sexual satisfaction and cannot achieve orgasm. Males themselves also experience lack of sexual arousal and sexual satisfaction due to the sexual problems that impact the female population as a result of the physiology regarding penis size and shape.  
         SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
         [0003]    There is a need for a device to provide males with the means to enlarge and enhance the size and shape of their penis while in a semi-erect or an erect state without the use of drugs, medicaments, natural or herbal formulas, chemicals, or any oral or topical formulations or products that can require medical supervision and prescription and without the high cost of the aforementioned, and most importantly, without which any or all of the above mentioned can cause negative side-effects or adverse reactions or substance interactions in order to provide greatly increased sexual arousal, heightened orgasm and total sexual satisfaction for both males and females, whether or not they experience female sexual dysfunction (FSD) or female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD), during sexual contact and sexual intercourse.  
           [0004]    There is a need for a device that provides males with a means of solving the problem of a small or misshapen semi-erect or erect penis and helping to overcome the negative psychological and sexual impacts of same.  
           [0005]    There is a need for a device that provides a means to treat female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) when engaging in sexual contact and sexual intercourse.  
           [0006]    There is a need for a device that provides a means to treat females who have had physiological changes to their vaginal, cervical and uterine structures, especially as associated with childbearing and hysterectomy, such as internal stretching, when engaging in sexual contact and sexual intercourse.  
           [0007]    These and other needs are met by embodiments of the invention, which provide a claim  1 .  
           [0008]    There are several advantages to the embodiments of the invention.  
           [0009]    The invention provides males with the means to enlarge and enhance the size and shape of their penis (while in a semi-erect or an erect state) without the use of drugs, medicaments, natural or herbal formulas, or chemicals. The invention also does not require the use of oral or topical formulations or products that can require medical supervision and prescriptions, which, most importantly, avoids negative side-effects or adverse reactions or substance interactions. Furthermore, cost is low and affordable by the general population while providing for increased sexual arousal, heightened orgasm and total sexual satisfaction for both females, whether or not they experience FSD or FSAD, and males during sexual contact and sexual intercourse.  
           [0010]    Moreover, the invention provides women who experience FSD and FSAD a means to increase stimulation for enhancing and increasing the female&#39;s ability to self-lubricate which is a major problem associated with these disorders. This ability to self-lubricate will help diminish the physiological and psychological issues associated with painful sexual intercourse and will cause the woman to desire sexual activity and sexual intercourse and thus create a positive and satisfying sexual experience for both the female and the male. Also, the invention provides the female with increased male penile penetration during sexual intercourse; provides increased stimulation, arousal and sensation of the entire vaginal canal, clitoris, ‘G-spot” and cervical area created by the enhanced and enlarged length and girth of the penis; provides increased sexual stimulation, arousal and sensation created by the different protrusion designs on the outside and the inside of the device. The invention leads to total and complete arousal, stimulation, sensation and enhanced and heightened sexual activity and enhanced orgasm for the female, as well as help women achieve orgasms who have been non-orgasmic.  
           [0011]    Additional advantages and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description that follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned by practice of the invention. The advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

The thickening layer  17  can also add rigidity to the penis. The thickening layer  17  can also provide for a more desirable shape of the penis. Preferably, the tubular member  12  is made from available natural or chemical and porous or non-porous materials such as: thermoplastic elastomers, latex, polyurethane, EVA, animal or vegetable casing or other stretchable or non-stretchable material. Preferably, the thickening layer  17  is made from natural or chemical, porous or non-porous materials, such as: gels or foams.  
         [0031]    In the second embodiment, the thickening layer  17  is provided over the entirety of the inner surface of the device  10 .  
         [0032]    The third embodiment, which is shown in FIGS. 3 a - 3   c,  is substantially similar to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 a - 1   c.  The third embodiment adds a reservoir tip  18  at the end  16  of the device  10  to contain semen that is ejaculated during intercourse. Accordingly, the thickening layer  17  is not provided on the inner surface in the vicinity of the tip  19  of the penis  
         [0033]    In the fourth embodiment, which is shown in FIGS. 4 a - 4   c,  there is shown a device for enhancing the shape of the penis and increasing the girth of a penis that comprises a tubular member  12  that is placed on the shaft of a penis  11 . The tubular member  12  has an inner surface  13 , an outer surface  14 , a first end  15 , and a second end  16 . In this embodiment, both the first end  15  and the second end  16  are open so that semen ejaculated during intercourse may be transmitted to the female body.  
         [0034]    There is a band  31  disposed at the first end  15  that fits tightly around the base of the shaft of the penis  11  that holds the device in place. There is also a band  20  disposed at the second end  16  near the glans  21  of the penis  11  that fits tightly around the upper shaft of the penis  11  that holds the device  10  in place.  
         [0035]    A thickening layer  17  is provided on the inner surface  13  of the device  10  and serves to increase the girth of the penis  11 . The thickening layer  17  may also add rigidity to the penis  11 . The thickening layer  17  can also provide for a more desirable shape of the penis  11 . Preferably, the tubular member  12  is made from available natural or chemical and porous or non-porous materials such as: thermoplastic elastomers, latex, polyurethane, EVA, animal or vegetable casing or other stretchable or non-stretchable material. Preferably, the thickening layer  17  is made from natural or chemical and porous or non-porous materials, such as: gels or foams.  
         [0036]    In the fourth embodiment, neither the thickening layer  17  nor the device  10  is provided over the entirety of the penis  11 .  
         [0037]    The fifth embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment as is seen from a comparison of FIGS. 5 a - 5   c  and FIGS. 1 a - 1   c.  The main difference is that the thickening layer  17  is not provided over the entirety of the inner surface of the device  10 , but is only provided on the portion of the inner surface that is in contact with the shaft of the penis  11 . In other words, the thickening layer  17  does not cover the head  22  of the penis  11 , which allows for increased sensitivity for the penis  11  during intercourse.  
         [0038]    The sixth embodiment, which is shown in FIGS. 6 a - 6   c,  is substantially similar to the fifth embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 a - 5   c.  The sixth embodiment adds a reservoir tip  18  at the end of the device  10  to contain semen that is ejaculated during intercourse.  
         [0039]    The seventh embodiment, which is shown in FIGS. 7 a - 7   c,  is substantially similar to the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 a - 2   c.  The seventh embodiment adds a reservoir tip  18  at the end of the device  10  of the second embodiment to contain semen that is ejaculated during intercourse. Accordingly, the thickening layer  17  is not provided on the inner surface in the vicinity of the tip of the penis  11 .  
         [0040]    In the eighth embodiment, which is shown in FIGS. 8 a - 8   d,  there is shown a device  10  for enhancing the size of a penis  11  that comprises initially a flat member. The flat member has an inner surface  23 , an outer surface  25 , a first end  24 , and a second end  26 . The flat member also has a flap  28  that extends from one lengthwise edge of the outer surface  25 . The flap contains an adhesive  29  of any bio-compatible material to secure the device in position.  
         [0041]    With this embodiment, the flat member is wrapped around the penis  11 , such that there is no overlap of the thickening layer  17 , that is, the thickening layer abuts itself at the lengthwise sides of the device  10  as shown in FIG. 8 c.  This forms a tubular member  12  that is substantially similar to the embodiment of FIG. 4. The adhesive  29  is placed over the outer surface of the other lengthwise flap  28  to hold the device  10  as a tubular member  12 .  
         [0042]    The tubular member  12  formed by this embodiment has both ends open so that semen ejaculated during intercourse may be transmitted to the female body.  
         [0043]    A thickening layer  17  is provided on the inner surface of the device  10  and serves to increase the girth of the penis  11 . The thickening layer  17  can also add rigidity to the penis  11 . The thickening layer  17  can also provide for a more desirable shape of the penis  11 . Preferably, the tubular member  12  is made from available natural or chemical and porous or non-porous materials such as: thermoplastic elastomers, latex, polyurethane, EVA, animal or vegetable casing or other stretchable or non-stretchable material. Preferably, the thickening layer  17  is made from natural or chemical and porous or non-porous material such as: gels or foams.  
         [0044]    In the eighth embodiment, the thickening layer  17  is provided over the entirety of the inner surface of the device  10 .  
         [0045]    Each of the eight embodiments has been shown with the thickening layers with smooth surfaces. FIGS.  9 - 11  show alternative arrangements of thickening layers having contoured surfaces. In FIG. 9, only the inner surface  13  is contoured. In FIG. 10, only the outer surface  14  is contoured. In FIG. 11, both the inner surface  13  and the outer surface  14  are contoured.  
         [0046]    [0046]FIGS. 12 a - 12   d  provide more detail regarding the contours of the thickening layers. For example, as shown in FIG. 12 b,  the contours can run along the length of the device. As shown in FIG. 12 a,  the contours can run around the circumference of the device. FIGS. 12 c  and  12   d  provide a variety of differing contemplated contour shapes of the thickening layer, but more contours are envisioned  
         [0047]    The embodiments of the invention provide the male with: (a) increased penis length to allow for increased penile penetration during sexual intercourse; (b) increased stimulation of the penis created by the increase in penile girth against the walls of the vaginal canal; (c) increased stimulation and arousal created by the different protrusion designs of the device on the penis; (d) additional heat created by the thickening layer, inside the device, against the entire penis which increases sexual arousal, sensation and stimulation; and, all of which can lead to total and complete sexual arousal, stimulation, sensation and heightened sexual activity and enhanced orgasm for the male.  
         [0048]    This, and other embodiments of the invention, provide a means to increase stimulation to women who experience FSD and FSAD in order to improve, enhance and increase the female&#39;s ability to self-lubricate because these women often cannot self-lubricate. This ability to self-lubricate will help diminish the physiological and psychological issues associated with painful sexual intercourse and will cause the woman to desire sexual activity and sexual intercourse and thus create a positive and satisfying sexual experience for both the female and the male. The embodiments of the invention can also provide all females, whether or not they experience FSD or FSAD, with: (a) increased male penile penetration during sexual intercourse; (b) increased stimulation, arousal and sensation of the genitals to include the entire vaginal area, clitoris, ‘G-spot’ and cervical area created by the enhanced and enlarged length and girth of the penis; (c) increased sexual stimulation, arousal and sensation created by the different protrusion designs on the outside of the device; and, all of which can lead to total and complete arousal, stimulation, sensation and enhanced and heightened sexual activity and enhanced orgasm for the female, as well as help those women achieve orgasms who have been non-orgasmic.
