Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sexual activity garments do not adequately prevent the transfer of sexually-transmittable diseases and unwanted pregnancy, and they do not accommodate users who wish to maintain physical virginity, abstain due to health or emotional conditions, or engage in intimate activities during menstruation, pregnancy, or postpartum, as they facilitate actual penetration and may cause discomfort or mess.

Innovation Solution

A garment with a fluid-impenetrable receiver that allows a body-extending member to penetrate without actual penetration, using a synergistic combination of a garment assembly and fluid-impenetrable receiver, which is skin-compatible and includes textured interior portions for pleasure, and can be worn with sanitary protection, to mimic the sensation of intercourse while preventing fluid transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a condom or sheath is used during sexual activity, then the risk of sexually-transmittable diseases and unwanted pregnancy is reduced, but the sensation of actual penetration and intimacy is diminished

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection against sexually-transmittable diseases and unwanted pregnancyVSAvoidlack of sensation of actual penetration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a receiver as an intermediary device worn by one partner that simulates the sensation of penetration without actual bodily penetration. The receiver is designed to be inserted into the other partner's body, providing tactile feedback and sensation while maintaining a barrier that prevents direct contact between bodily fluids. This mediator allows both partners to experience intimacy and sensation while the barrier (garment/condom) maintains protection against STIs and pregnancy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If actual penetration occurs during sexual activity, then intimate sensation and pleasure are achieved, but the risk of sexually-transmittable diseases, unwanted pregnancy, and discomfort during menstruation or pregnancy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintimate sensation and pleasureVSAvoidprotection against sexually-transmittable diseases and unwanted pregnancy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy or simulation of the penetration experience through the receiver device. The receiver is designed to replicate the tactile sensations, shape, and feel of actual penetration without involving real bodily fluids or tissues. This allows partners to experience the intimacy and pleasure of penetration while maintaining complete protection through the barrier garment, effectively copying the sensory experience without the biological risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If a barrier garment is worn during sexual activity, then protection against sexually-transmittable diseases is improved, but comfort and natural sensation are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection against sexually-transmittable diseasesVSAvoidcomfort and natural sensation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the local quality principle by designing the barrier garment to have different properties in different areas. The garment includes a receiver portion that is soft, flexible, and textured to provide natural sensation and comfort where it contacts the partner's body. The barrier portions are designed to be impermeable to fluids for protection. This localized differentiation allows the garment to provide both protection and comfort/natural sensation simultaneously in different regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A garment assembly useful for sexual intercourse between a first user and a second user when the penetration of a body-extending member into a body orifice is either not possible or unwanted. The garment assembly includes a front and back panel covering and a crotch piece with the appearance of an ordinary garment normally found in a public environment such as one having the appearance of underwear. A fluid-impenetrable receiver attached to the front panel of the garment assembly will operate as a substitute for a body-orifice. The receiver includes an entryway adjoined to an interior cavity sized to accommodate a body-extending member. A preferred interior cavity includes sexually-interactive textured material for engagement with the body-extending member during use.
