Description
Description
1. Technical Field
This invention relates generally to a sexual performance aid and more particularly to an apparatus for use in performing intercourse.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A large variety of sexual aids are, of course, known in the art. Some of these aids directly physically stimulate a participant, while others aid the positioning of the participants in their direct physical stimulation of one another.
A common position which many people find to be erotic is with the woman on top of and straddling the man. A variation on this position which has also been found to be erotic is one in which the woman supports herself so that her thighs and buttocks do not contact the man, with the only direct contact between the two being the contact of the penis with the female genitalia. However, since this position can be tiring for a woman supporting herself above the man, a support has sometimes been employed such as shown in my own U.S. Pat. No. Des. 265,611. This support has been found to have several disadvantages, however, as it is difficult to clean, is somewhat uncomfortable to sit in, and its stiff seat hinders motion by both the man and woman.
The present invention is directed toward overcoming one or more of the problems as set forth above.
Summary of the Invention
In one aspect of the present invention, an apparatus is provided for use in performing sexual intercourse, including a rigid frame supported above a bed, an elongate panel of cloth, and means for suspending the cloth section from the frame. The cloth panel is suspended from the frame such that an opening therein near one end is substantially at the lowest portion of the cloth panel whereby the opening exposes the genitalia of a user seated thereon in a spaced relation above the bed. The cloth panel is broader at its one end than at its other end.
One object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus which aids a couple in performing sexual intercourse. Another object of the present invention is to allow a couple to perform sexual intercourse for a long period of time with the woman on top without tiring the woman. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a seat support which exposes the genitalia of the person seated thereon such that a partner may contact the genitalia to stimulate one another. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a seat as described which is comfortable during use and which allows free motion to allow a couple to freely stimulate one another according to their particular tastes.

Description of the Preferred Embodiment
The intercourse aiding apparatus 10 comprising the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. The apparatus 10 includes a ring 16 (see FIG. 2) having spaced hooks or eyes 18a,18b, 20a,20b thereon. The eyes 18a,18b,20a,20b come in two pairs, one pair 18a,18b being more closely spaced than the other 20a, 20b.
The ring 16 is suspended in a generally horizontal position by cords 22 secured to the eyes 18a,18b,20a,20b, said cords 22 being suitably suspended from a ceiling (as by the hook support 24 shown) over a bed 26.
The apparatus 10 further includes a flexible panel 30 (see FIG. 3) which is generally an elongate trapezoid having an opening 32 adjacent the wide front end 48. A panel 30 measuring substantially 481/2 inches along each side, 201/2 inches on the wide end, and 8 inches on the narrow end, with an 8 inch diameter opening, has been found to be particularly suitable.
The panel 30 is preferably formed of a sturdy, soft and washable cloth material such as nylon. Reinforced grommets 34a,34b,36a,36b are provided in the corners of the panel 30.
As seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the spacing S between the eyes 20a and 20b is less than the spacing W between the grommets 36a and 36b at the opposite ends of the flexible front end portion 48.
An alternative panel 30' which may also be used is shown in FIG. 4. The sides of the panel 30' adjacent the opening 32 are parallel and tapered to the narrow end thereafter.
Suitable cords 38a,38b suspend the narrow end of the cloth panel 30 adjacent the ring 16 from one pair of eyes 18a,18b. Longer cords 40a,40b suspend the wide end of the cloth panel 30 spaced from the ring 16 from the other pair of eyes 20a,20b so that the opening 32 is at substantially the lowest part of the catenary shape of the cloth panel 30. Preferably, the cords 22,38a,38b,40a,40b should be metal or other nonstretching cables suitably covered by plastic or the like to protect the couple. Further, it is preferred that the cords 38a,38b,40a,40b have quick releasing swivel hooks 42 which securely connect to the grommets 34a,34b,36a,36b and eyes 18a,18b,20a,20b yet allow for easy removal for washing.
Preferably, the wide end of the cloth panel 30 is wider (when laid flat as in FIG. 3) than the spacing of the front set of eyes 20a,20b, as this configuration allows the cloth panel 30 to define a form-fitting and properly supporting seat 44 and seat back 46 as shown in FIG. 1.
The apparatus 10 as described above is thus readily usable to aid a couple having sexual intercourse. The woman sits in the seat 44 facing the cords 40a,40b and spreads her legs so that they extend outside of the cords 40a,40b. In this manner, her genitalia are downwardly exposed through the opening 32 for contact with her male partner laying beneath her on the bed 26, and her feet are rested on the bed 26 so that she may rock herself slowly, or otherwise move according to her and her partner's sexual tastes. Further, the woman may lean back against the seat back 46 so as to not only sit comfortably but also to slightly change the height and angle of her exposed genitalia (by changing the catenary shape of the seat 44) to provide variety to the stimulation between partners.
The apparatus 10 may also be used in a variety of ways other than that described by, for example, extending the woman's legs between the cords 40a,40b and allowing her partner to hold her legs and control her movement.
It is readily apparent from the description that the apparatus 10 is comfortable for the person seated therein and allows free motion of that person so that the couple may enjoy uninhibited sexual pleasure. Still further, the cloth panel 30 of the apparatus 10 can be easily detached for cleaning between uses (a particularly important feature in those locations where the apparatus is used by more than one couple).
Other aspects, objects and advantages of the present invention can be obtained by a study of the drawings, the specification and the claims.
