The restriction device is operable by an implanted operation device (60) to change the restriction 10 of the blood flow passageway. A control device (62 and 64) is provided for controlling a source of energy, which may or may not be implanted, from outside the patients body, to release energy for use in connection with the operation of the restriction device, i.e. to power the operation device. The 15 patient uses the control device to restrict the blood flow leaving the penis to achieve erection. Figure 17
