1. A male incontinence control device comprising:
(a) a tubular elastomeric primary band defining axial, radial and circumferential directions, and having a circumference configured and arranged to encircle a flaccid penis without inflicting penile ischemia,
(b) an elastomeric secondary band radially spaced from the primary band to form a slot therebetween, the secondary band secured to the primary band at circumferentially spaced lateral end points of the secondary band,
(c) a rigid spacer positioned within the slot, imposing persistent circumferential strain upon and thereby circumferentially expanding a segment of the primary band so as to increase the circumference of the primary band, and
(d) a radially projecting knob on the primary band, projecting inward from the primary band for pressing against and constricting a urethra of a wearer.
