1. A penile sleeve comprising:

  • a flexible tube including an elongatable section having an open end with a collar;

    one or more temperature, pressure, light, and/or strain sensors positioned within the elongatable section of the flexible tube;

    one or more control units positioned within the collar of the flexible tube and operably associated with the one or more temperature, pressure, light, and/or strain sensors positioned within the elongatable section of the flexible tube;

    one or more light sources positioned within the elongatable section of the flexible tube and operably associated with the one or more control units positioned within the collar of the flexible tube; and

    one or more photolyzable nitric oxide donors positioned on an inner surface of the elongatable section of the flexible tube,wherein the one or more light sources are configured to emit light upon the one or more photolyzable nitric oxide donors positioned on the inner surface of the elongatable section and wherein the one or more photolyzable nitric oxide donors are configured to release nitric oxide in response to light of the one or more light sources.
