An apparatus for assisting in copulation and preventing discomfort due to testicular retraction or displacement (e.g., retractile testicle) during copulation and other activities is disclosed. The apparatus substantially encompasses, circumferentially, the upper portion of the shaft of a penis without constricting the urethra area at the base of the shaft of the penis. The apparatus further conforms to the torso behind the scrotal sack (i.e., between scrotum and torso) to prevent undesired movement of testicles into the abdomen area. The apparatus has a substantial U-shape, the legs curving inwardly toward respective anchoring nodes. Anchoring nodes may be included at the end of each leg of the apparatus to assist in minimizing movement of the apparatus while in use. The apparatus may rigid or may be slightly flexible and, when in use as a copulation aid, provides pressure to restrict outflow of blood from corpora cavernosa thus assisting to maintain erection. |

1. An apparatus configured to assist in maintenance of erection and prevention of retractile testicle, the apparatus to be worn by a human being endowed with a torso, a scrotal sack, and a penis, the torso comprising a groin region, the scrotal sack comprising testicles, and the penis comprising a base adjoining the torso, an upper portion including a superficial dorsal vein and a deep dorsal vein, two side portions including corpus cavernosum penis, and a bottom portion including a urethra, the apparatus comprising:
a substantially U-shaped member comprising an apex portion and two side arc portions and defining an opening opposite the apex portion, each of the two side arc portions comprising a rear-facing side facing toward the torso, a front-facing side facing away from the torso, and a region configured for applying pressure circumferentially on the upper portion and the two side portions of the penis when the penis is erect; and for each side arc portion, an anchoring node on the rear facing side thereof, each anchoring node being disposed at least beyond the region in a direction of the opening and being configured to be positioned behind the scrotal sack, wherein the substantially U-shaped member is configured to surround the upper portion of the penis at the base of the penis closely adjacent to the torso without substantially constricting the bottom portion of the penis, such that the opening is positioned behind the penis and, when the penis is erect, below the bottom portion of the penis, and wherein each of the two side arc portions is configured to curve inward behind the scrotal sack and to apply squeezing pressure to the scrotal sack so as to assist in preventing retraction of the testicles into the groin region and in retaining the testicles in the scrotal sack. |
