CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to and the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/471,625, filed on March 15, 2017, entitled "Pleasure Clasp Lightweight Dildo", which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This patent specification relates to the field of adult sexual devices. More specifically, this patent specification relates to adult sexual devices which may be removably secured to portions of the body of a user.

BACKGROUND

Phallic devices, sometimes referred to as dildos, have been known and used throughout the centuries. It is a common practice for women to use these devices when engaging in sexual activity with a partner. Some of these devices include a harness to which the dildo is affixed, and the harness is secured around external portions of the user. These harness devices can be difficult to position correctly and the harness may cause chaffing or irritation. Other devices, such as double-ended dildos, include one or more dildos which may be simultaneously inserted into both partners. However, these devices tend to slip out and/or move in ways not in synch with their movements due to their weight and often linear shape.

Therefore, a need exists for novel adult sexual devices. A further need exists for novel adult sexual devices which enable a dildo to be secured to a woman without requiring a harness There is also a need for novel adult sexual devices which enable a dildo to be controlled and worn by a woman to be in synch with their movements.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A pleasure clasp device is provided. In some embodiments, the device may include a dildo having a first end and a second end. The dildo may be coupled to a clasp with a movable coupling. The clasp may have a first arm and a second arm, and the first arm and second arm may be coupled together via a base. The movable coupling may be configured to couple the second end of the dildo to the clasp and to enable the first end of the dildo to be moved relative to the clasp. The movement provided by the movable coupling allows the dildo to move in synch with the movements of a wearing user while enabling the clasp to be stably secured to the wearing user.

In further embodiments, the clasp may be adapted to be secured to the user by inserting the second arm into the vagina and in contact with the anterior wall of the vagina and by placing the first arm in contact with the clitoral region so that the pubis symphysis region of the wearing user is positioned and held between the first arm and second arm. The pubis symphysis region may include the tissue of the wearing user located generally between the clitoral region and anterior wall. In this manner, the clasp may grip the pubis symphysis region thereby securing the device to the wearing user in a hands-free manner.

Preferably, the first arm terminus 28 may be rounded or generally blunt in shape, such as hemispherical or convex in shape so as to also facilitate insertion of portions of the second arm 16 into the vagina 203 of the wearing user 200.

The second arm 16 may comprise a vaginal surface 26 which may be shaped or adapted for contacting portions of an anterior wall 202 of a vagina 203 of a wearing user 200 when the clasp 14 is secured to the wearing user 200. A vagina anterior wall 202 may be defined as tissue within the vagina 203 which generally opposes the clitoral region 201 depending on variations of the female anatomy. A vaginal surface 26 may be configured in any shape and size, such as concave, convex, planar, curved, or any other shape which may be suitable for contact with the vagina anterior wall 202. Optionally, a vaginal surface 26 may comprise texturing, such as ridges, bumps, undulations, and the like which may be suitable for increasing sensation.

In some embodiments, a base 17 may comprise an elongated shape which may be configured to separate the first arm 15 a desired distance from the second arm 16. The base 17 may comprise a base surface 27 which may be shaped or adapted for contacting portions of the vulva and/or other tissue that is located between the clitoral region 201 and vagina 203 of a wearing user 200 when the clasp 14 is secured to the wearing user 200. A base surface 27 may be configured in any shape and size, such as concave, convex, planar, curved, or any other shape which may be suitable for contact with portions of the vulva and/or other tissue that is located between the clitoral region 201 and vagina 203. Optionally, a base surface 27 may comprise texturing, such as ridges, bumps, undulations, and the like which may be suitable for increasing sensation. In preferred embodiments, the clasp 14 may be made from or may comprise a resilient material which may allow the clitoral surface 25 and/or vaginal surface 26 to be moved or flexed towards and/or away from each other. In some embodiments, the first arm 15 may comprise or may be made from a resilient material, and the resilient material may enable portions of the first arm 15, such as the clitoral surface 25, to be moved relative to the second arm 16.
