Abstract: A prosthetic erector for remedying problems of impotency in males is disclosed. The erector has a pair of substantially rigid rods, the rods being encased within a common elastic encasement in a side-by-side relation. The rods have at a first end, a yoke defined by first and second arms forming a pair of spaced apart, generally hooked-shaped arcuate arms adapted for encircling the glans of the penis around and in abutment with the penis corona. Securement means are provided at the second end of the rod for securing the erector to the penis. The securement means includes an elastomeric tube adapted for securement around the scrotum at the root of the penis. The rods have a bend located at a station about one-third the length of the rod away from the first end, the bend for contacting the penis superficial dorsal vein for applying pressure thereto.
