Abstract

A shapable tubular device configured to transfer mechanical energy and applied to a male primate is provided. The shapable tubular device includes an elongated silicone tube, shapable keels disposed therein, and vibration units disposed inside the elongated silicone tube along an extension direction thereof. The elongated silicone tube is closed at two ends thereof. A portion of an outer surface of the elongated silicone tube is at least configured to transfer the mechanical energy of the shapable tubular device to an external object. The shapable keels are configured to deform the elongated silicone tube during operation, so that a portion of the outer surface of the elongated silicone tube is adapted to a contour of the external object. The vibration units are configured to transmit the mechanical energy generated during operation to the elongated silicone tube from inside to outside.
