Abstract

The construction of an integral cincture band of elastic material may include a pair of semi-ellipsoidal handles and an enlarged region to be aligned with the urethra of the user's male sex organ so as to relatively reduce the urethral constriction for improved seminal fluid discharge. Radially inwardly projecting regions of predetermined radius of curvature which is relatively large to the overall ring may be provided in predetermined circumferential locations on each lateral side of the dorsal centerline. By such arrangement, effective pressure is applied to the subcutaneous lateral veins and generally to the dorsal venous process of the penis without direct application of constrictive force to the center of the penis dorsal area, thereby minimizing user pressure discomfort or loss of sensation. Relatively inelastic material, such as spherical elements of hardened plastic, may be included in the inwardly projecting regions to further enhance specific circumferentially located blood flow restriction pressures.
