Apparatus and method for sexual stimulation

Abstract

A sexual stimulation method which may comprise a plurality of light sources for photostimulation of the vagina; one or more vibrators for mechanical stimulation of an area of the vagina; a handle; a controller and programmable memory for containing non-transitory instructions for modes of operation and driving the light sources and vibrators of the invention; a vaginal finger; a handle for ease of use; a keypad for user entry of commands; and a charging or programming port. The invention may also comprise sensors that sense physiologic parameters of a user and adjust sexual stimulation parameters to achieve a desired sexual stimulation effect. Blood oxygen level, temperature, pulse rate and muscle electrical activity may be sensed. The invention also may comprise a flexible covering that provides smooth sliding engagement with an area of the vagina of a user.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A method for providing stimulation and intravaginal therapy to a female, comprising the steps of:
 providing a device comprising a vaginal finger, said vaginal finger comprising at least one source of light energy and at least mechanical stimulation means for applying a mechanical stimulation to a user, and said vaginal finger adapted to locate said at least one light source such that it illuminates the Grafenberg Spot of a user with light energy when said vaginal finger is slidingly engaged in a vagina of the user;   slidingly engaging said vaginal finger in the vagina of the user; and   irradiating the area of the Grafenberg Spot of the user with said light energy; and   applying said mechanical stimulation intravaginaly to the user.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said light energy is further defined as between 400 nm and 1000 nm wavelength. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said light energy comprises a combination of wavelengths defined as a first wavelength between 400 nm and 515 nm, a second wavelength between 610 nm and 640 nm, and a third wavelength between 820 nm and 880 nm. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said light energy is pulsed in equal off and on states of duration between 50 msec and 500 msec. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said mechanical stimulation is pulsed in equal off and on states of duration of about 400 msec. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said mechanical stimulation is vibration, said vibration being sinusoidal with a 1.2 second period. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said mechanical stimulation is further defined as vibration between 5-10 Hz. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said mechanical stimulation is further defined as vibration between 1-15 kHz. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said mechanical stimulation means is further defined as comprising sonic pulses. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said mechanical stimulation means is further defined as comprising sonic pulses.
