## Abstract

A male sexual stimulation device that provides a better user experience by combining a mechanical stroking mechanism with a spiraling sleeve that provides rotational stimulation and suctional stimulation to the stroking motion of the mechanical stroking mechanism. The spiraling sleeve is formed at least in part from an elastomeric material with ribbing molded into the interior of the sleeve at an angle to the linear axis of the spiraling sleeve such that elongation or shortening of the spiraling sleeve along the linear axis with a penis inserted therein causes a portion of the sleeve to twist about the linear axis.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A male sexual stimulation device comprising:
a reciprocating linear motion driver;
a gripper attached to the reciprocating linear motion driver; and
a flexible sleeve affixed to the gripper, the flexible sleeve having a generally tubular body portion made of an elastomeric material, the generally tubular body portion having a longitudinal axis and an interior surface, the interior of the generally tubular body portion having one or more spiral ribs extending radially inward from its interior surface;
wherein, when the device is activated, the gripper moves at least a portion of the sleeve affixed to the gripper in an reciprocating linear motion along the longitudinal axis, providing sexual stimulation through friction of the interior of the sleeve against a penis inserted therein, wherein the friction between the one or more spiral ribs and the penis causes a portion of the flexible sleeve to twist about the longitudinal axis.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more spiral ribs are molded from the elastomeric material.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more spiral ribs are made from a material other than the elastomeric material.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the spiral ribs form one or more continuous spirals along the interior surface about the longitudinal axis.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein the one or more spiral ribs are molded from the elastomeric material and form one or more continuous spirals along the interior surface about the longitudinal axis.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3, wherein the one or more spiral ribs are molded from a material other than the elastomeric material and form one or more continuous spirals along the interior surface about the longitudinal axis.
