A valve device which may be surgically installed in the abdomen of a user, such that the valve ports of the valve are inserted in-line with a vein returning blood from the penis to the heart, with a separate actuating magnet which may be mounted on a removable belt to be worn by the user to initiate an erection. By using a small flat magnetic plate, encapsulated in a plastic material, to form a membrane, and suspending it in front of the two valve ports, a magnetically controlled valve is formed. Placement of the remote magnet adjacent the membrane attracts the magnetic plate, closes the ports, seals the valve, and initiates the erection.
