Abstract

Claims (15)

1 . A system for altering an approaching sexual event, the system configured to be removably placed anywhere on a user's body between a sex organ and an anus, the system comprising:

a patch configured to be removably placed on the user, the patch comprising:

a central body portion;

first and second electrode wing portions operatively coupled to the central body portion by first and second hinge portions, wherein the first and second electrode wing portions are pivotally displaceable about the central body portion at the first and second hinge portions;

circuitry elements; and

at least first and second electrodes being associated with the first and second electrode wing portions respectively and in operative communication with the circuitry elements to provide electrical stimulation to the user;

wherein the at least first and second electrodes are configured to be positionable proximate to the anus and are adapted to stimulate nerves of a prostate to increase an intensity of an ejaculatory event.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least first and second electrodes further include third and fourth electrodes removably positionable proximate to the at least first and second electrodes and the sex organ, wherein the third and fourth electrodes are configured to stimulate nerves to delay the intensity of the ejaculatory event.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the third and fourth electrodes each have a long axis, wherein the long axes are oriented oblique to each other.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least the first and second electrodes each have a long axis, wherein the long axes are oriented parallel to each other.

5 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a remote controller in operative communication with the circuitry elements to control a stimulation characteristic.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the stimulation characteristic comprises at least one of the intensity of the ejaculatory event, an amount of time to the ejaculatory event, a period of time to the ejaculatory event, and a stimulation pattern.

7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the remote controller comprises a mobile device running a mobile app.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the patch further comprises a switch configured to receive manual manipulation.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the switch is configured to adjust stimulation intensity to the at least the first and second electrodes.
