1. A sheath shaped barrier device for providing increased girth and length to male genitalia received within the sheath shaped barrier device, the sheath shaped barrier device comprising:
an elongated tube comprising a first end defining an enclosed tip and a second end defining an opening dimensioned to receive male genitalia;
a first peripheral chamber extending along a length of the elongated tube;
a longitudinal chamber positioned adjacent the enclosed tip;
a first sealed passage defined along the elongated tube and a second sealed passage defined along the elongated tube, the first sealed passage in fluid communication with the first peripheral chamber, and the second sealed passage in fluid communication with the longitudinal chamber; and
a first container positioned proximal to the second end of the elongated tube and in fluid communication with one of the first sealed passage or the second sealed passage,
the first container including partitioned quantities of at least two different materials, and
the first container being configured to rupture upon application of a predetermined force to allow the at least two different materials to mix with each other upon the application of the predetermined force such that a mixture of the at least two different materials produces a gas configured to provide an expansion force;
wherein gas passing through the first sealed passage and entering the first peripheral chamber is configured to provide an expansion force to increase a girth of the first peripheral chamber, and
wherein gas passing through the second sealed passage and entering the longitudinal chamber is configured to provide an expansion force to increase a length of the longitudinal chamber;
wherein the first container is in fluid communication with the first sealed passage, and further comprising a second container positioned proximal to the second end of the elongated tube and in fluid communication with the second sealed passage;
the second container including partitioned quantities of at least two different materials; and
the second container being configured to rupture upon application of a predetermined force to allow the at least two different materials to mix with each other upon the application of the predetermined force such that a mixture of the at least two different materials produces a gas that provides an expansion force;
wherein gas produced in the first container is configured to pass through the first sealed passage and enter the first peripheral chamber to thereby provide an expansion force to increase a girth of the first peripheral chamber;
wherein gas produced in the second container is configured to pass through the second sealed passage and enter the longitudinal chamber to thereby provide an expansion force to increase a length of the longitudinal chamber; and
wherein the first sealed passage and the second sealed passage are fluidically isolated from each other;
whereby either the girth of the first peripheral chamber or the length of the longitudinal chamber, or both, can be selectively increased.
