A device (1) is provided for assisting erectile function in men which comprises a resilient non-continuing ring-shaped element (2), at the ends provided with fastening means (3) and having an inner and outer diameter, wherein the inner diameter is selected such that upon sexual stimulation the element causes an external pressure on the penis and a change of internal pressure sufficient to increase the pressure in the cavernous bodies and/or to maintain the increased pressure, wherein the device (1) is substantially made of elongatable material. In a preferred embodiment the device is provided with a locking element limiting the elongation of the elongatable material. The fastening means (3) are fixed preferably at the ends (5) of the locking element. <IMAGE>
