A penile clamp for inhibiting male incontinence is provided as a single, unitary, synthetic resin body having a pair of jaw-like arms, a bridge interconnecting the arms and biasing them to a penis clamping position, and a pair of ears. The ears may be pinched together to spread apart the arms, thereby permitting insertion of a penis between the arms. One of the arms includes a penis-cradling area which is concave to conform to the top of the penis, while the other arm includes a urethral pressuring area which is preferably convex to apply pressure directly against the underside of the penis outside of the urethra. The pressuring area may be either a cantilever spring extending toward the bridge from the remote end of the second arm, or an area of the second arm between its proximate and remote ends. The arms are connected to the bridge at their proximate ends and presenting an opening across from the bridge opposite their remote ends. The penis-cradling area is preferably relatively wide in comparison to the pressure applying area which is relatively narrow and thus reduces the amount of compressive force which is provided to the arms to clamp the urethra closed at one point therealong and inhibit the undesired flow of urine therepast. The user may selectively urinate in a discrete and private manner simply by pinching together the ears to spread the arms and relieve pressure on the urethra.
