Description

male genital correction device

[0001] The present invention relates to a male genital correction device that can correct the shape of the male genitalia to imitate the female genitalia.

[0002] There are known transgender people whose physical sex assigned at birth does not match the gender they identify as. Transgender people include transgender men (FtM), who were assigned a female physical sex at birth but identify as male, and transgender women (MtF), who were assigned a male physical sex at birth but identify as female. Transgender people generally have strong complexes and concerns about their bodies, which differ from their gender identity, and strongly desire to transition their bodies to a gender of their choice and live as the gender they desire. However, surgical treatments such as surgery are expensive and pose various risks, including infection. Therefore, there is a demand for corrective devices that can easily mimic the physical shape of a person's desired gender without undergoing such surgical treatment.

[0003] Men's underwear for transgender men (FtM) has been known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This men's underwear includes a cushion that can represent the bulge of the male genitalia and a pocket for securing the cushion.

[0004] JP 2015-74868 A

[0005] The above-mentioned conventional technology is underwear for transgender men (FtM) and does not address transgender women (MtF). Many transgender women (MtF) also generally have strong complexes and concerns about their male genitalia, such as their penis and testicles. For this reason, they may try to reduce their visibility by using tape or supports, or wear underwear that mimics the cleft of the female genitalia, but this does not allow them to approximate the shape of the female genitalia. Furthermore, surgical treatments such as testicle removal, penis resection, and female genital plastic surgery are expensive and involve various risks, including life-threatening complications. Therefore, there has been a strong demand for corrective devices for transgender women (MtF) that can easily mimic the shape of a woman's body without undergoing such surgical treatment.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a male genital correction device that can correct the shape of the male genitalia to imitate the female genitalia.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention is a male genital correction device that is attached to a male genitalia and has a ring-shaped main frame, a first support part that is arranged inside the main frame and imitates the labia minora on one side of the female genitalia in the left-right direction by inserting and clamping the skin on one side of the scrotum of the male genitalia without inserting the testicles of the male genitalia through the first support part, and a second support part that imitates the labia minora on the other side of the female genitalia in the left-right direction by inserting and clamping the skin on the other side of the scrotum through the second support part without inserting the testicles through the second support part.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, another aspect of the present invention is a male genital correction method for correcting the shape of the male genitalia to imitate the female genitalia, in which the skin on one side of the scrotum of the male genitalia is pinched and supported, and the skin on the other side of the scrotum is pinched and supported, thereby imitating the labia minora of the female genitalia.

[0009] According to the present invention, the shape of the male genitalia can be corrected to imitate the female genitalia.

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments, for the convenience of explaining the configuration of the male genital correction device, up-down, left-right, front-rear directions may be used as appropriate, but these do not limit the orientation or position of each component of the male genital correction device. In the embodiments, the front-rear direction is the direction in which each part of the male genitalia is inserted into the male genital correction device, the up-down direction is the longitudinal direction of the male genital correction device, and the left-right direction is the direction perpendicular to both the front-rear direction and the up-down direction.

[0012] The male genital correction device 1 according to the embodiment is a correction device for transgender women (MtF) who were assigned male sex at birth but identify as female. The male genital correction device 1 is worn on the male genitals of the transgender woman who is the user. The male genital correction device 1 is made of an elastic material that has flexibility and elasticity to allow stretching, while also having a certain degree of strength. For example, materials such as rubber, resin, elastomer, and silicone can be used. The male genital correction device 1 may also be made of a hard material such as stainless steel, carbon, or other metals. Multiple types of male genital correction devices 1 are available depending on the user's purpose and the shape and size of the male genitals to be worn. Each type of male genital correction device 1 is described below.

[0013] <First Type> A first type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a front view showing the configuration of the first type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the first type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, and Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the usage state of the first type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment. The directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back in the following description correspond to the directions shown in each figure.

[0014] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first type of male genital correction device 1A has an annular main frame 3A and a sub-frame 5A arranged inside the main frame 3A. The main frame 3A has a vertically elongated annular shape (approximately oval) that resembles the shape of the female genitalia. Specifically, it is formed in a roughly gourd-like (approximately loofah-like) shape with a narrowed central portion in the vertical direction. Note that in this embodiment, "annular" refers to a structure that encloses a predetermined space and is closed, regardless of the shape.

[0015] The sub-frame 5A is disposed inside the main frame 3A. The sub-frame 5A defines a first support section 7LA, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on one side of the scrotum (the left side in this example) in the left-right direction, and a second support section 7RA, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on the other side of the scrotum (the right side in this example) in the left-right direction, inside the main frame 3A.

[0016] The subframe 5A includes a first annular frame 9A and a rod-shaped frame 11A. The first annular frame 9A is located inside the main frame 3A between the first support portion 7LA and the second support portion 7RA and is formed into a ring shape smaller than the main frame 3A. The first annular frame 9A has a vertically elongated ring shape (approximately oval) resembling the shape of the female genitalia. Specifically, it is formed into a roughly gourd-like (approximately loofah-like) shape with a narrowed central portion in the vertical direction. The lower end of the first annular frame 9A is connected to the inside of the lower end of the main frame 3A by the rod-shaped frame 11A. The upper end of the first annular frame 9A is connected to the second annular frame 13A.

[0017] 1 and 2, the upper end of the main frame 3A is closed in an annular shape via the lower end of the second annular frame 13A, but the main frame 3A may be closed in an annular shape by itself without the second annular frame 13A. In this case, the upper end of the first annular frame 9A only needs to be connected to the inside of the upper end of the main frame 3A.

[0018] The second annular frame 13A is disposed on the outside of the main frame 3A. Specifically, the second annular frame 13A is connected to the upper end of the main frame 3A. The second annular frame 13A is formed in a ring shape that is smaller than the main frame 3A, and supports the glans penis by inserting it therethrough. The second annular frame 13A is formed in a substantially circular shape.

[0019] The first type of male genital correction device 1A is preferably made of an elastic material, but may also be made of a hard material.

[0020] As shown in Figure 3, the first type of male genital correction device 1A is worn on the male genitalia. Specifically, the left and right skin 15L, 15R of the male genitalia are stretched and inserted from the rear to the front into the first support portion 7LA and the second support portion 7RA, which support the skin and sandwich it, thereby simulating the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia. The testicles of the male genitalia are not inserted into the first support portion 7LA and the second support portion 7RA. The first annular frame 9A of the subframe 5A can simulate a vaginal opening 19 between the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia simulated by the first support portion 7LA and the second support portion 7RA. Furthermore, the glans 21 of the male genitalia is inserted from the rear to the front into the second annular frame 13A, which supports the glans 21, thereby simulating the clitoris 23 of the female genitalia. In particular, with the first type of male genital correction device 1A, it is possible to imitate the clitoris 23 on the outer side (upper side) of the labia minora 17L, 17R. Therefore, the shape of the male genitalia can be made closer to the shape of the real female genitalia.

[0021] In this way, the shape of the male genitalia can be corrected to mimic the shape of the female genitalia, which can alleviate the complexes and worries that transgender women have about their bodies without resorting to surgical treatment, thereby providing physical and mental support to transgender women.

[0022] It is also possible to insert the foreskin of the penis into the second annular frame 13A and support it without inserting the glans of the male genitalia. In this case, it is possible to imitate the foreskin of the female genitalia (or clitoral foreskin). Furthermore, when the glans is inserted, use may be limited depending on the size of the user's male genitalia, but when the foreskin of the penis is inserted, it can be used regardless of the size of the user's male genitalia, improving the versatility of the male genital correction device.

[0023] <Second Type> A second type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment will now be described. Fig. 4 is a front view showing the configuration of the second type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the second type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, and Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the usage state of the second type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment. The directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back in the following description correspond to the directions shown in each figure.

[0024] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the second type male genital correction device 1B has an annular main frame 3B and a sub-frame 5B arranged inside the main frame 3B. The main frame 3B has a vertically elongated annular shape (approximately oval) that resembles the shape of the female genitalia. Specifically, it is formed in an approximately teardrop shape that is pointed downward and facing upside down.

[0025] The sub-frame 5B is disposed inside the main frame 3B. The sub-frame 5A forms, inside the main frame 3B, a first support portion 7LB, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on one side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the left side in this example), and a second support portion 7RB, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on the other side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the right side in this example).

[0026] The sub-frame 5B has a first annular frame 9B, a second annular frame 13B, a rod-shaped frame 11B, and a rod-shaped frame 25B. The first annular frame 9B is disposed inside the main frame 3B between the first support portion 7LB and the second support portion 7RB, and is formed in a ring shape that is smaller than the main frame 3B. The first annular frame 9B is formed in a vertically elongated ring shape (approximately oval) that resembles the shape of the female genitalia.

[0027] The second annular frame 13B is disposed inside the main frame 3B, between the first support portion 7LB and the second support portion 7RB. The second annular frame 13B is disposed adjacent to the first annular frame 9B. In this example, the upper end of the first annular frame 9B is connected to the lower end of the second annular frame 13B. The second annular frame 13B is formed in a ring shape smaller than the main frame 3B, and supports the glans penis by inserting it therethrough. The second annular frame 13B is formed in a substantially circular shape.

[0028] The lower end of the first annular frame 9B is connected to the inside of the lower end of the main frame 3B by a rod-shaped frame 11B, and the upper end of the second annular frame 13B is connected to the inside of the upper end of the main frame 3B by a rod-shaped frame 25B.

[0029] The second type of male genital correction device 1B is preferably made of an elastic material, but may also be made of a hard material.

[0030] As shown in Figure 6, the second type male genital correction device 1B is worn on the male genitalia. Specifically, the left and right skin 15L, 15R of the male genitalia are stretched and inserted from the rear to the front into the first support portion 7LB and the second support portion 7RB, respectively, to sandwich and support the skin, thereby simulating the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia. The testicles of the male genitalia are not inserted into the first support portion 7LB and the second support portion 7RB. Furthermore, the first annular frame 9B of the subframe 5B can simulate a vaginal opening 19 between the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia simulated by the first support portion 7LB and the second support portion 7RB. Furthermore, the glans 21 of the male genitalia is inserted from the rear to the front into the second annular frame 13B to support the second support portion 13B, thereby simulating the clitoris 23 of the female genitalia. In particular, the second type of male genital correction device 1B can imitate a female genitalia in a shape where the labia minora 17L, 17R cover the left and right sides of the clitoris 23 (the labia minora are relatively large). It can also imitate a female genitalia in a shape where the clitoris 23 and the vaginal opening 19 are close to each other inside the labia minora 17L, 17R.

[0031] It is also possible to insert the foreskin of the penis into the second annular frame 13B and support it without inserting the glans of the male genitalia. In this case, it is possible to imitate the foreskin of the female genitalia (or clitoral foreskin). Furthermore, when inserting the glans, use may be limited depending on the size of the user's male genitalia, but when inserting the foreskin of the penis, it can be used regardless of the size of the user's male genitalia, thereby improving the versatility of the male genital correction device.

[0032] <Third Type> A third type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment will now be described. Fig. 7 is a front view showing the configuration of the third type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the third type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, and Fig. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing the usage state of the third type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment. The directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back in the following description correspond to the directions shown in each figure.

[0033] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the third type of male genital correction device 1C has an annular main frame 3C and a sub-frame 5C arranged inside the main frame 3C. The main frame 3C has a vertically elongated annular shape (approximately elliptical) that resembles the shape of the female genitalia. Specifically, it is formed in the shape of an approximately diamond-shaped kite.

[0034] The sub-frame 5C is disposed inside the main frame 3C. The sub-frame 5C defines a first support portion 7LC, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on one side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the left side in this example), and a second support portion 7RC, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on the other side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the right side in this example).

[0035] The subframe 5C includes a first annular frame 9C, a second annular frame 13C, a rod-shaped frame 11C, and a rod-shaped frame 25C. The first annular frame 9C is located inside the main frame 3C between the first support portion 7LC and the second support portion 7RC, and is formed into a ring shape smaller than the main frame 3C. The first annular frame 9C has a vertically elongated ring shape (substantially oval) resembling the shape of the female genitalia. Specifically, it is formed into a roughly gourd-shaped (substantially loofah-shaped) shape with a narrowed central portion in the vertical direction.

[0036] The second annular frame 13C is disposed inside the main frame 3C, between the first support portion 7LC and the second support portion 7RC. The second annular frame 13C is disposed adjacent to the first annular frame 9C. In this example, the upper end of the first annular frame 9C is connected to the lower end of the second annular frame 13C. The second annular frame 13C is formed in a ring shape smaller than the main frame 3C and supports the glans penis by inserting it therethrough. The second annular frame 13C is formed in a substantially circular shape.

[0037] The lower end of the first annular frame 9C is connected to the inside of the lower end of the main frame 3C by a rod-shaped frame 11C, and the upper end of the second annular frame 13C is connected to the inside of the upper end of the main frame 3C by a rod-shaped frame 25C.

[0038] The first support portion 7LC is divided into a first space 29L located on the left side of the first annular frame 9C and a second space 31L located on the left side of the second annular frame 13C by a rod-shaped frame 27L that connects the left side of the second annular frame 13C to the inside of the left side of the main frame 3C. Similarly, the second support portion 7RC is divided into a first space 29R located on the right side of the first annular frame 9C and a second space 31R located on the right side of the second annular frame 13C by a rod-shaped frame 27R that connects the right side of the second annular frame 13C to the inside of the right side of the main frame 3C.

[0039] The third type of male genital correction device 1C can be fixed to the user's body by passing, for example, rubber, a belt, or a string through the second spaces 31L and 31R and wrapping it around the user's body (waist), or by passing, for example, tape through the second spaces 31L and 31R and attaching it to the user's body.

[0040] The third type of male genital correction device 1C is preferably made of an elastic material, but may also be made of a hard material.

[0041] As shown in Figure 9, the third type male genital correction device 1C is worn on the male genitalia. Specifically, the left and right skin 15L, 15R of the male genitalia are stretched and inserted from the rear to the front into the first support part 7LC and the second support part 7RC, and supported by being sandwiched between them, thereby simulating the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia. In this case, if there is sufficient scrotal skin 15L, 15R, the first support part 7LC and the second support part 7RC divide the scrotal skin 15L, 15R into first spaces 29L, 29R and second spaces 31L, 31R, and insert the scrotal skin 15L, 15R from the rear to the front, and support the scrotal skin by being sandwiched between them. This allows the labia minora 17L, 17R to be simulated in the first spaces 29L, 29R, and the clitoral prepuce (or clitoral hood) 33L, 33R to be simulated in the second spaces 31L, 31R. The testicles of the male genitalia are not inserted through the first support portion 7LC and the second support portion 7RC. Furthermore, the first annular frame 9C of the subframe 5C can simulate a vaginal opening 19 between the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia simulated by the first spaces 29L, 29R of the first support portion 7LC and the second support portion 7RC. Furthermore, the glans 21 of the male genitalia is inserted from the rear to the front and supported by the second annular frame 13C, thereby simulating a clitoris 23 of the female genitalia. Thus, with the third type male genital correction device 1C, it is possible to simulate the prepuce (or clitoral hood) 33L, 33R in the case of a user with ample scrotal skin 15L, 15R.

[0042] It is also possible to insert the foreskin of the penis through the second annular frame 13C and support it without inserting the glans of the male genitalia. In this case, even if the user does not have enough room in the scrotal skin 15L, 15R, it is possible to imitate the female genitalia foreskin (or clitoral foreskin). Furthermore, when inserting the glans, use may be limited depending on the size of the user's male genitalia, but when inserting the foreskin of the penis, it can be used regardless of the size of the user's male genitalia, thereby improving the versatility of the male genital correction device.

[0043] <Fourth Type> A fourth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment will now be described. Fig. 10 is a front view showing the configuration of the fourth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the fourth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, and Fig. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing the usage state of the fourth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment. The directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back in the following description correspond to the directions shown in each figure.

[0044] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the fourth type male genital correction device 1D has an annular main frame 3D and a sub-frame 5D arranged inside the main frame 3D. The main frame 3D has a vertically elongated annular shape (approximately oval) that resembles the shape of the female genitalia. Specifically, it is formed in an approximately teardrop shape that is pointed downward and facing upside down.

[0045] The sub-frame 5D is disposed inside the main frame 3D. The sub-frame 5D forms, inside the main frame 3D, a first support portion 7LD, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on one side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the left side in this example), and a second support portion 7RD, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on the other side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the right side in this example).

[0046] The sub-frame 5D includes an annular frame 35D, a rod-shaped frame 11D, and a rod-shaped frame 25D. The annular frame 35D is disposed inside the main frame 3D between the first support portion 7LD and the second support portion 7RD, and is formed in a smaller ring shape than the main frame 3D. The annular frame 35D has a vertically elongated ring shape (substantially oval) resembling the shape of the female genitalia. Specifically, it is formed in a roughly teardrop shape facing upside down and pointed downward. The annular frame 35D combines the functions of the first annular frame and the second annular frame. That is, in the fourth type male genital correction device 1D, the first annular frame for simulating the vaginal opening and the second annular frame for simulating the clitoris are formed as a single annular frame 35D.

[0047] The lower end of the annular frame 35D is connected to the inside of the lower end of the main frame 3D by a rod-shaped frame 11D, and the upper end of the annular frame 35D is connected to the inside of the upper end of the main frame 3D by a rod-shaped frame 25D.

[0048] The fourth type of male genital correction device 1D is preferably made of an elastic material, but may also be made of a hard material.

[0049] As shown in Figure 12, the fourth type male genital correction device 1D is worn on the male genitalia. Specifically, the left and right skin 15L, 15R of the male genitalia are stretched and inserted from the rear to the front into the first support part 7LD and the second support part 7RD, which support the skin and sandwich it, thereby simulating the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia. The testicles of the male genitalia are not inserted through the first support part 7LD and the second support part 7RD. Furthermore, the lower part of the internal space of the annular frame 35D of the subframe 5D can simulate a vaginal opening 19 between the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia simulated by the first support part 7LD and the second support part 7RD. Furthermore, the glans 21 of the male genitalia can be inserted from the rear to the front into the upper part of the internal space of the annular frame 35D and supported therein, thereby simulating the clitoris 23 of the female genitalia. In this way, the fourth type male genital correction device 1D has a simple structure and can imitate the shape of a female genitalia (with relatively large labia minora) in which the labia minora 17L, 17R cover the clitoris 23 and the vaginal opening 19. Furthermore, because the structure is simple, it is highly versatile and can be attached to male genitalia of various shapes.

[0050] It is also possible to insert and support the foreskin of the penis without inserting the glans of the male genitalia into the upper part of the internal space of the annular frame 35D. In this case, it is possible to imitate the foreskin of the female genitalia (or clitoral foreskin). Furthermore, when the glans is inserted, use may be limited depending on the size of the user's male genitalia, but when the foreskin of the penis is inserted, it can be used regardless of the size of the user's male genitalia, thereby improving the versatility of the male genital correction device.

[0051] <Fifth Type> A fifth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment will now be described. Fig. 13 is a front view showing the configuration of the fifth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, Fig. 14 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the fifth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, and Fig. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing the usage state of the fifth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment. The directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back in the following description correspond to the directions shown in each figure.

[0052] 13 and 14, the fifth type male genital correction device 1E has an annular main frame 3E and a sub-frame 5E arranged inside the main frame 3E. The main frame 3E has a vertically long annular shape (approximately oval) that resembles the shape of the female genitalia.

[0053] The sub-frame 5E is disposed inside the main frame 3E. The sub-frame 5E forms, inside the main frame 3E, a first support part 7LE, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on one side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the left side in this example), and a second support part 7RE, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on the other side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the right side in this example).

[0054] The sub-frame 5E includes a first annular frame 9E and a rod-shaped frame 11E. The first annular frame 9E is located inside the main frame 3E between the first support member 7LE and the second support member 7RE and is formed into a ring shape smaller than the main frame 3E. The first annular frame 9E has a vertically elongated ring shape (substantially oval) resembling the shape of the female genitalia. Specifically, it is formed into a vertically oriented, approximately disk-like shape with tapered upper and lower ends.

[0055] The first annular frame 9E is configured such that one end (the lower end in this example) is connected to the main frame 3E as a fixed end, and the other end (the upper end in this example) is a free end. Specifically, the lower end of the first annular frame 9E is connected to the inside of the lower end of the main frame 3E by a rod-shaped frame 11E. The first annular frame 9E is not connected to the main frame 3E except for the lower end.

[0056] The fifth type of male genital correction device 1E is preferably made of a hard material, but may also be made of an elastic material.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 15 , the fifth type of male genital correction device 1E is worn on the male genitalia. Specifically, the left and right skin 15L, 15R of the male genitalia are stretched and inserted from the rear to the front into the first support part 7LE and the second support part 7RE, respectively, to sandwich and support the skin, thereby simulating the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia. The testicles of the male genitalia are not inserted through the first support part 7LE and the second support part 7RE. The first annular frame 9E of the subframe 5E can simulate a vaginal opening 19 between the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia simulated by the first support part 7LE and the second support part 7RE. The glans 21 of the male genitalia is inserted from the rear to the front into the upper part of the internal space of the main frame 3E. The device may also be worn so that the glans 21 is positioned outside (at the top) of the main frame 3E. In this way, in the fifth type male genital correction device 1E, the sub-frame 5E and the first annular frame 9E can imitate the labia minora 17L, 17R and vaginal opening 19 of the female genitalia, but do not particularly support the glans 21 of the male genitalia. Therefore, the glans 21 of the male genitalia is separately fixed to the user's body with, for example, tape, rubber, string, or belt. As such, because there is a high degree of freedom in supporting the glans 21, the fifth type male genital correction device 1E is suitable for use by men with large glans and penises.

[0058] It is also possible to insert the foreskin of the penis without inserting the glans of the male genitalia into the upper part of the internal space of the main frame 3E. In this case, it is possible to imitate the foreskin of the female genitalia (or clitoral foreskin). Furthermore, when inserting the glans, use may be limited depending on the size of the user's male genitalia, but when inserting the foreskin of the penis, it can be used regardless of the size of the user's male genitalia, thereby improving the versatility of the male genital correction device.

[0059] <Sixth Type> A sixth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment will now be described. Fig. 16 is a front view showing the configuration of the sixth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, Fig. 17 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the sixth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, and Fig. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing the usage state of the sixth type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment. The directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back in the following description correspond to the directions shown in each figure.

[0060] 16 and 17, the sixth type male genital correction device 1F has an annular main frame 3F and a sub-frame 5F arranged inside the main frame 3F. The main frame 3F has a vertically elongated annular shape (approximately oval) that resembles the shape of the female genitalia.

[0061] The sub-frame 5F is disposed inside the main frame 3F. The sub-frame 5F forms, inside the main frame 3F, a first support portion 7LF, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on one side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the left side in this example), and a second support portion 7RF, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on the other side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the right side in this example).

[0062] The subframe 5F is a rod-shaped frame having one end (the lower end in this example) which is a fixed end connected to the inside of the lower end of the main frame 3F and the other end (the upper end in this example) which is a free end. The subframe 5F is not connected to the main frame 3F except for the lower end.

[0063] The sixth type of male genital correction device 1F is preferably made of a hard material, but may also be made of an elastic material.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 18 , the sixth type male genital correction device 1F is worn on the male genitalia. Specifically, the left and right skin 15L, 15R of the male genitalia's scrotum are stretched and inserted from rear to front into the first support member 7LF and the second support member 7RF, respectively, to sandwich and support the skin, thereby simulating the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia. The testicles of the male genitalia are not inserted through the first support member 7LF and the second support member 7RF. The glans 21 of the male genitalia is inserted from rear to front into the upper part of the internal space of the main frame 3F. The glans 21 may also be worn so that it is positioned outside (at the top) of the main frame 3F. In this way, the sixth type male genital correction device 1F uses a rod-shaped subframe 5F, which allows the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia to be simulated without forming a vaginal opening. Therefore, it is suitable for use by men with small scrotums. Furthermore, similar to the fifth type male genital correction device 1E, the glans 21 of the male genitalia is not particularly supported, and therefore the glans 21 of the male genitalia is separately fixed to the user's body with, for example, tape, rubber, string, belt, etc. In this way, since there is a high degree of freedom in terms of support for the glans 21, the sixth type male genital correction device 1F is also suitable for use by men with large glans and penises.

[0065] It is also possible to insert the foreskin of the penis instead of inserting the glans of the male genitalia into the upper part of the internal space of the main frame 3F. In this case, it is possible to imitate the foreskin of the female genitalia (or clitoral foreskin). Furthermore, when inserting the glans, use may be limited depending on the size of the user's male genitalia, but when inserting the foreskin of the penis, it can be used regardless of the size of the user's male genitalia, thereby improving the versatility of the male genital correction device.

[0066] <Seventh Type> A seventh type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment will now be described. Fig. 19 is a front view showing the configuration of the seventh type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, Fig. 20 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the seventh type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment, and Fig. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing the usage state of the seventh type of male genital correction device according to an embodiment. The directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back in the following description correspond to the directions shown in each figure.

[0067] As shown in Figures 19 and 20, the seventh type male genital correction device 1G has an annular main frame 3G and a sub-frame 5G arranged inside the main frame 3G. The main frame 3G has a vertically elongated annular shape (approximately oval) that resembles the shape of the female genitalia.

[0068] The sub-frame 5G is disposed inside the main frame 3G. The sub-frame 5G forms, inside the main frame 3G, a first support part 7LG, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on one side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the left side in this example), and a second support part 7RG, which is a space that sandwiches and supports the skin on the other side of the scrotum in the left-right direction (the right side in this example).

[0069] The subframe 5G is a rod-shaped frame connected at both ends to the main frame 3G. Specifically, the upper end of the subframe 5G is connected to the inside of the upper end of the main frame 3G, and the lower end of the subframe 5G is connected to the inside of the lower end of the main frame 3G.

[0070] The seventh type male genital correction device 1G is preferably made of an elastic material, but may also be made of a hard material.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 21 , the seventh type male genital correction device 1G is worn on the male genitalia. Specifically, the left and right skin 15L, 15R of the male genitalia are stretched and inserted from the rear to the front into the first support part 7LG and the second support part 7RG, respectively, to sandwich and support the skin, thereby imitating the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia. The testicles of the male genitalia are not inserted into the first support part 7LG and the second support part 7RG. The glans 21 of the male genitalia is attached so as to be positioned outside (above) the main frame 3G. In this way, the seventh type male genital correction device 1G uses a rod-shaped subframe 5G, which allows the labia minora 17L, 17R of the female genitalia to be imitated without forming a vaginal opening. Therefore, it is suitable for use by men with small scrotums. Furthermore, similar to the fifth and sixth types of male genital correction devices 1E and 1F, the glans 21 of the male genitalia is not particularly supported, and therefore the glans 21 of the male genitalia is separately fixed to the user's body with, for example, tape, rubber, string, belt, etc. As such, the seventh type of male genital correction device 1G has a high degree of freedom in terms of supporting the glans 21, and is therefore suitable for use by men with large glans or penises.
