ABSTRACT:
A prophylactic and prosthetic device comprising an elastomeric gel formed into a tubular shape generally replicating that of the human male sex organ or member. The exterior of the device may be molded or otherwise formed to have the appearance of the member, or it may have a generally cylindrical shape such as that of conventional condoms. The texture of the exterior simulates the color, physical properties and tactile feel of human flesh, and, when wet with water soluble fluids, has relatively low friction similar to the human skin that it replicates. The interior of the device is hollow, providing space for insertion of the human male sex member in an aroused state. The texture of the interior surface is highly tacky so that it virtually sticks to the skin of the male user. The preferred elastomeric gel is formed from a mixture of plasticizing oil and a block copolymer selected from SEBS block copolymers, SEPS block copolymers and mixtures thereof. The most preferred gel is formed from a mixture of plasticizing oil and an admixture of SEBS copolymers and SEPS block copolymers in a polymer ratio of 1:5 to 5:1, with 1:1 being most preferred. The preferred elastomeric gel is formed from a mixture of 5-15% by weight of the block copolymer and 85-95% by weight of the plasticizing oil, and trace amounts of pigments and fillers.
