Lap dance liner
Abstract
A combination pouch and underwear pant is worn by a man for
facilitating sexual activity such as lap dancing. The pouch is worn
over the sex organs of a man under the underwear pant, which is
adapted by an elastic waistband for compressively pinning the pouch
in place. The pouch is made of a flexible and elastic material. A
top edge of the pouch provides access to an interior of the pouch
of a hand and wrist of the wearer so as to facilitate insertion of
the wearer's sex organs into the pouch through an aperture, which
encircles penis and scrotum. The aperture elastically compresses
between a top surface at the base of the penis of the wearer and a
bottom surface at the base of the scrotum of the wearer. With the
pouch in place, the wearer is able to facilitate the capture of
body fluids without fear of the pouch moving away from its
preferred position relative to the torso of the wearer.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention:
This invention relates generally to protective or prophylactic
devices for use during sexual activities, and more particularly to
a plastic pouch and under-pant combination used for fully clothed
sexual activity when penetration is not intended.
2. Description of Related Art:
The following art defines the present state of this field:
Hessel, U.S. Pat. No. 5,623,946, teaches a thin-walled, condom-like
tubular protection device for protecting against the transfer of
infectious matter during sexual intercourse. The condom-like device
has an open end and a collar-shaped outwardly extending portion
with an apparatus for radially stretching the collar. The device
also has an inner diameter which is sufficiently large to permit
movement of a penis with respect to the protective device during
coitus.
Steer, U.S. Pat. No. 5,531,725, teaches an improved male
incontinence device which has a condom located within a hollow
tubular applicator open at both ends, which has an adhesive for
securing the device to the penis.
Van der Valk, U.S. Pat. No. 5,163,449, teaches a device for use
with a male condom that has a substantially rigid ring with a
substantially axial width and a radial thickness. The internal
diameter of the device is sized to fit loosely around the base of a
penis, adjusting the fit of an ordinary condom and facilitating
coitus.
Loeb, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,888,007, teaches a pubic shield which
has a resilient tubular element and which is secured to the user
with a bio-adhesive. The shield is designed for use with a
condom.
Smith, U.S. Pat. No. 4,601,716, discloses a disposable sanitary
sheath for wearing around the penis of the user. The sheath
contains a moisture absorbent pad and is surrounded with an outer
moisture resistant layer.
Pien, U.S. Pat. No. 5,327,911, discloses a universal contraceptive
device having a condom support device of annular configuration and
including an inwardly opening groove formed on the periphery
thereof. A securing device secures the support device in place on a
person's body, and the support device holds a condom which fits
loosely around an erect male organ.
The prior art teaches various condom or other sheathing devices to
fit over a man's penis to protect the user from disease
transmission and to contain body fluids. However, the prior art
does not teach a pouch and underpant combination designed
specifically for providing frictional stimulation to the penis
during fully clothed sexual activity. The present invention
fulfills these needs and provides further related advantages as
described in the following summary.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention teaches certain benefits in construction and
use which give rise to the objectives described below.
A combination pouch and underwear pant is worn by a man for
facilitating sexual activity such as lap dancing. The pouch is worn
over the sex organs of a man and under the underwear pant, which is
adapted by an elastic waistband for compressively pinning the pouch
in place. The pouch is made of a flexible and elastic material with
a rough interior surface. A top edge of the pouch provides access
to an interior of the pouch of a hand and wrist of the wearer so as
to facilitate insertion of the wearer's sex organs into the pouch
through an aperture which encircles penis and scrotum
compressively. The aperture elastically compresses between a top
surface at the base of the penis of the wearer and a bottom surface
at the base of the scrotum of the wearer so that the pouch is held
in place during use. With the pouch in place, the motion of a lap
dancer against the outer clothes of the wearer is able to cause the
roughened surface of the pouch to slide against the penis in such a
manner that the penis is stimulated so as to simulate intercourse.
The pouch captures fluids released prior to, and during the lap
dance act.
A primary objective of the present invention is to provide a
lubricated, loose fitting liner, which covers a user's genitals
during sexual activity, the device having advantages not taught by
the prior art.
Another objective is to provide a liner device, which is held in
place by an underwear pant, thus eliminating the need for any
further attachment devices, or requiring the liner device to clamp
or adhere to any part of the user's torso.
A further objective is to provide a device enabled for capturing
body fluids, such as ejaculate, protecting the user's clothes and
facilitating cleanup after sexual activity.
Another objective is to provide a liner device, which is lubricated
and rough surfaced to enhance physical pleasure when the user's
genitals are manipulated and to allow motion to cause sliding
stimulation against the genital area.
A final objective is to provide a device as described which is not
noticeable when worn.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become
apparent from the following more detailed description, taken in
conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by
way of example, the principles of the invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying drawings illustrate the present invention. In such
drawings:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The above described drawing figures illustrate the preferred
embodiment of the invention, a combination pouch 10 and underwear
pant 20 worn by a man 30 for facilitating sexual activity when the
intention is to perform such activity while fully clothed and when
sexual penetration is not intended.
The underwear pant 20 is a common article of clothing well known in
the art and provides a tight fitting elastic waistband 22 for
compressively encircling a torso 32 of a wearer, normally a man.
The waistband 22 may also be of the type that is drawn and tied, or
other types that may provide similar function, all of which is well
known.
The pouch 10 is of a type that is not known, and comprises features
that enable a new and valuable use. The pouch 10 and pant 20, when
used together in the manner described and shown, provides a
combination that is not known in the art. The pouch 10 is generally
rectangular in shape, as shown in FIG. 2, and is made of a flexible
and elastic material such as a rubberized plastic combination or
similar materials. The pouch is folded to provide a front panel 14
and a rear panel 12. A top edge 18 of the pouch is open, providing
access to an interior 19 of the pouch by a hand and wrist of the
wearer. The rear panel 12 of the pouch provides an aperture 11,
enabled by its size for admitting the penis and scrotum of the
wearer into the pouch 10 as is illustrated in FIG. 1. This aperture
11 is adapted by size and the elastic property of the pouch 10 for
compressive engagement between a top surface 34 at the base of a
penis of the wearer and a bottom surface 36 at the base of a
scrotum of the wearer. This aspect of the invention is critical to
its use. Being elastic and flexible, and preferably lubricated, the
pouch 10 would be normally easily dislodged from its preferred
engagement with the sex organs of the wearer, as shown in FIG. 1
because of the vigorous activity the sex organs and pouch 10 are
subjected to during use. However, it has been found that with a
moderate elastic compressive force around the penis and scrotum,
the pouch 10 is more permanently fixed in place and is therefore
not easily dislodged. A further important feature of the pouch 10
is that it is of such length, see "L" in FIG. 2, as to extend
upwardly and under the waistband 22 of the pant 20. This enablement
allows the pant waistband 22 to control the position of the pouch
essentially pinning it in place during use. The pouch is at least
21/2 inches in width and preferably larger so as to admit the hand
and wrist to the interior 19 of the pouch 10. An important feature
of the pouch 10 is that the interior sidewall surface 13 has a
roughness of at least 1/2 mm in height. This roughness is necessary
for appropriate stimulation to the male sex organ for stimulation
thereof and is a critical element in the novelty of the invention.
The pouch is approximately 13 inches in length; dimension "L." The
aperture is at least 1 inch in diameter; dimension "d." These
dimensions have been found to be critical to the proper fitting of
the invention to the average male. A lubricating layer, such as a
layer of Vaseline.RTM. is deposited on the interior sidewall
surface 13 adjacent the male organ. A reinforcing grommet 15, such
as a reinforcing circular portion, as shown, is preferably placed
integral with the sidewall 12 of the pouch around the aperture 11
and has been found to be critical to the ability of providing
proper elastic force for holding the pouch 10 in place, i.e.,
sufficient elastic force, while enabling the material of the pouch
10 to be sufficiently thin to enable the pouch to slide and respond
to pressures during lap dancing. In FIG. 2, the dimension "h"
represents the relaxed length or size of the aperture 11, while the
dimension "H" represents the extended length or size of the
aperture 11 when it is pulled to stretch around the penis and
scrotum. The material of the pouch 10 including the grommet 15 is
of sufficient elastic property for encompassing a range of male
size sufficient to the intended market of users. It is the ability
of the material that the pouch 10 is made of to stretch elastically
to provide the holding power necessary during use.
In use, the pouch 10 is placed into the pant 20 and, with a hand
and arm inserted into the pouch, the aperture 11 is manually
stretched to receive the sex organs of the wearer into the pouch
10. If the pouch 10 is not pre-lubricated, a lubricant is applied
to the interior surface 13 of the pouch 10 around the sex organs.
The upper portion of the pouch is drawn upward with the top edge 18
pinned in place by the pant 20. The wearer normally wears a
trousers and shirt over the invention. During sexual play well
known as "lap dancing" the wearer receives friction from a lap
dancing person with direct physical contact onto the sexual organs
of the wearer. During this play body fluids may be released by the
wearer, and these fluids are captured within the pouch 10. The
tight fit of the stretched aperture and the elastic band 22 prevent
these fluids from leaving the interior 19 of the pouch 10.
While the invention has been described with reference to at least
one preferred embodiment, it is to be clearly understood by those
skilled in the art that the invention is not limited thereto.
Rather, the scope of the invention is to be interpreted only in
conjunction with the appended claims.
