ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to sexual novelty products, and in particular to an edible, pliable mouthpiece worn over the front top and bottom teeth rows of a user performing oral sex.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART
Oral sexual activities between consenting adults such as cunnilingus, fellatio, and the like, require one partner to actively utilize their mouth during the activity. Condoms and oral contraceptives/masks are popular types of devices that are used during these activities. However, the primary purpose of these prophylactic type devices are to prevent the spread of infectious sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS, Herpes, and the like. See for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,949,731 and 5,176,151 to Harding; U.S. Pat. No. 5,016,649 to Johnson; U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,016 to Bloodsaw and U.S. Pat. No. 5,582,187 to Hussey.
All of these patents require an absolute shield between the consenting adult partners so that no bodily fluid is exchanged from one partner to the other partner. None of these patents allow the partners to be able to directly contact each other partner's body parts and body fluids between partners already knowing the other partner's health condition. All of these patents cover scenarios when there is a risk of passing a sexually transmitted disease. For example, long married partners would not have a desire for these devices when they wish to use an aid that enhances the oral sexual activity by not restricting contact between the partner's body parts and body fluids. Furthermore, these patents are limited to being formed from materials that while flexible are generally plastic in nature, and would not be edible. Furthermore, many of these devices are pre-formed into exact shapes and dimensions, and will not conform to the different sized mouths and various sized teeth of various users. Furthermore, many of these devices while flexible donot provide a cushioned surface, and can be both uncomfortable and harmful to the soft human tissue that the devices contact. While the Harding '731 and '151 patents mention that flavor enhancers can be released in their devices, the Harding patents require the entire oral prophylactics be formed from material such as silicone, and the like, which are not normally dissolvable, nor edible to the person using these devices during oral sexual activities.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The first objective of the present invention is to provide a mouthpiece that can be worn by a consenting adult performing oral sexual activities that is edible.
The second object of this invention is to provide a mouthpiece that can be worn by a consenting adult performing oral sexual activities that is pliable to conform to the different teeth and mouth sizes of all consenting adult users.
The third object of this invention is to provide a mouthpiece that can be worn by a consenting adult performing oral sexual activities that allows for body parts and body fluids to be in direct physical contact between each of the consenting adults.
The fourth object of this invention is to provide a mouthpiece that can be worn by a consenting adult performing oral sexual activities that changes the sharp and hard edges of their teeth to being soft and rounded.
A preferred embodiment of the Gum Job includes a two piece (double bridge) mouthpiece, wherein the top piece fits firmly in place over the heads of the top row of teeth. And the bottom piece fits firmly over the bottom row of teeth. Both pieces are made of a pliable U-shaped edible material such as but not limited to starch jellied candies, gelatin candy (i.e. Gummy Bears TM), starch gelatin, licorice, and chewing gum. When the teeth are closed and compressed into both pieces, the front of the teeth have a cap layer of approximately {fraction (1/2+L )} inch of material between them, and the back teeth have a cap layer of approximately {fraction (1/4+L )} inch of material between them. The novel mouthpiece takes the normal sharp edges of the teeth to become soft and smooth. Thus, using the novel mouthpiece reduces the likelihood of damage and discomfort during oral sexual activities. An optional through hole can be included which allows a portion of a body part such as a tip portion of a person's tongue, nipple, toes, fingers, clitoris, penis, and/or body fluids to pass therethrough.
A second embodiment puts hollowed out channels inside each of the U-shaped members, so that the wearer's teeth can fit inside the respective channels.
Further objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of a presently preferred embodiment which is illustrated schematically in the accompanying drawings.
