The deformable middle portion defines a first arm and a second arm that collectively define a deformable opening, wherein when an external force is applied to the stimulator portion the deformable opening assumes a deformed configuration and when the external force is not applied to the stimulator portion the deformable opening assumes a non-deformed configuration such that an individual wearing the massage apparatus may simultaneously provide a massage effect to the wearer of the massage apparatus and the wearer's partner. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A massage apparatus comprising: a ring-shaped portion defining an opening having a first longitudinal axis; a deformable middle portion defining a first arm and a second arm that collectively form a deformable opening, wherein a first end of the deformable middle portion is in communication with the ring-shaped portion; a stimulator portion includes a receptacle defining a second longitudinal axis in transverse orientation with the first longitudinal axis defined by the opening for the ring-shaped portion, wherein the stimulator portion is in communication with a second end of the deformable middle portion; and a vibratory component disposed within the receptacle of the stimulator portion; wherein the deformable middle portion is configured such that when an external force is applied to the stimulator portion the deformable middle portion assumes a deformed state and when the external force is not applied to the stimulator portion the deformable middle portion assumes a non-deformed state. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The massage apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of protrusions defined along the stimulator portion for providing a massage effect when the vibratory component is operational. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The massage apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of raised ridges defined along the deformable middle portion. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The massage apparatus of claim 1, wherein the stimulator portion is aligned along a first axis when the deformable middle portion is in the non-deformed state and wherein the stimulator portion is aligned along a second axis when the deformable middle portion is in the non-deformed state. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The massage apparatus of claim 4, wherein when the deformable middle portion is in the deformed state the second axis of the stimulator portion is positioned above the first axis of the stimulator portion when the deformable middle portion is in the non-deformed state. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The massage apparatus of claim 5, wherein the first axis of the stimulator portion when the deformable middle portion is the non-deformed state forms an angle with the second axis of the stimulator portion of between 30 degrees to 45 degrees when the deformable middle portion is in the deformed state. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The massage apparatus of claim 1, wherein the ring-shaped portion is aligned along a third plane, wherein the third plane forms an acute angle relative to the first plane. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The massage apparatus of claim 2, wherein the plurality of protrusions is arranged in at least one array. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The massage apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vibratory component includes a middle portion formed between a first spherical end and a second spherical end. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The massage apparatus of claim 9, wherein first spherical end and the second spherical end each define a plurality of raised protrusions. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The massage apparatus of claim 9, wherein the vibratory component includes a first flange defined between the middle portion and the first spherical end and a second flange defined between the middle portion and the second spherical end. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The massage apparatus of claim 11, wherein a first channel is defined between the middle portion and the first flange and a second channel is defined between the middle portion and the second flange. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The massage apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first flange and second flange are configured to engage the vibratory component within the receptacle of the stimulator portion. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The massage apparatus of claim 13, wherein the first spherical end and the second spherical end extend outwardly from the receptacle when the vibratory component is disposed within the receptacle. ### Claim 15 A method of manufacturing a massage apparatus comprising: forming a ring-shaped portion defining an opening having a first longitudinal axis; forming a deformable middle portion in communication with the ring-shaped portion, wherein forming the deformable middle portion includes a first arm and a second arm that collectively define a deformable opening; and forming a stimulator portion in communication with the deformable middle portion, wherein forming the stimulator portion includes forming a receptacle defining a first longitudinal axis in transverse orientation relative to a second longitudinal axis defined by the opening for the ring-shaped portion. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, further comprising: disposing a vibratory component within the receptacle. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the deformable opening of the deformable middle portion is configured to assume a deformed state when an external force is applied to the stimulator portion and a non-deformed state when the external force is not applied to the stimulator portion. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the massage apparatus is formed from at least a silicone material. ### Claim 19 A method of using a massage apparatus comprising: providing a massage apparatus comprising: a ring-shaped portion including an opening defining a first longitudinal axis; a deformable middle portion including a first arm and a second arm that collectively form a deformable opening, wherein a first end of the deformable middle portion is in communication with the ring-shaped portion; a stimulator portion defining a receptacle having a second longitudinal axis in transverse orientation relative to the first longitudinal axis of the opening for the ring-shaped portion, wherein the stimulator portion is in communication with a second end of the deformable middle portion; and a vibratory component disposed within the receptacle of the stimulator portion for providing a vibratory effect; mounting the ring-shaped portion to a male sexual organ of a male individual; and applying an external force to the stimulator portion such that the deformable middle portion assumes a deformed state when the external force is applied to the stimulator portion and a non-deformed state when the external force is not applied to the stimulator portion. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein applying an external force to the stimulator portion aligns the stimulator portion along a second axis when the deformable middle portion assumes a deformed state and removing the external force to the stimulator portion aligns the stimulator portion along a first axis when the deformable middle portion assumes a non-deformed state. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The method of claim 20, wherein aligning the stimulator portion along the first axis and second axis when the deformable middle portion assumes the deformed state and non-deformed state, respectively, causes the vibratory effect to be felt simultaneously and continuously by the male individual and the male individual's female partner during sexual intercourse.
