What Is A Penis Pump?

Do Penis Pumps Really Work?

Sex toys for guys can be touch and go ?some are great and some aren抰. And the same sex toy might be wonderful for one guy but not work at all for another. Penis pumps are a popular male sex toy because most guys are obsessed with penis size ?but do they work? Here抯 why a penis pump can definitely be an asset in the bedroom, but why you need to be careful with one!

A penis pump is usually a plastic type, hollow cylinder that is fitted over the penis that has either a manual or motorized pump to put suction on the penis. When the pump creates a vacuum around the penis, it pulls blood into the shaft and head of the penis, making it erect and engorged with blood. Most men choose to use a cock ring in addition to a penis pump so the blood doesn抰 go back into the body after being pumped into the penis. A cock ring fits snugly around the base of the shaft to keep blood inside the penis after pumping and to keep it erect


Are Penis Pumps Dangerous?

Most sex toys aren抰 at all dangerous, but if used incorrectly, some of them can be. Penis pumps definitely fall into that category and if you have a penis pump, you really want to use it responsibly to keep from doing damage to yourself. For example, very hard or extreme suction of the shaft and head can cause things like:

.Blisters


.Bruising


.Broken blood vessels

You can avoid these unwanted side effects by reading the manufacturer抯 instructions on your penis pump thoroughly and following the instructions for use exactly. Not every penis pump is the same, so don抰 assume that because you know how to use one, you know how to use them all.


How To Be Safe When Using A Penis Pump

Penis pumps can be a great way to make your penis, bigger, stronger and harder but you definitely don抰 want any broken blood vessels or blisters from using it. So, there are lots of ways you can make sure you are using your penis pump safely and effectively.

Don抰 use for extended periods of time. You抳e heard the warnings on Viagra commercials ?if you experience an erection for longer than 4 hours, seek medical attention immediately. The same goes for penis pumps. A man抯 body isn抰 designed to maintain an erection for that long. Don抰 use your penis pump longer than necessary.

If it hurts, stop. Just like with anything during sex, if you抮e feeling discomfort or pain, it抯 your body signaling you to stop and that what you抮e doing is damaging your body. It抯 common sense ?if you feel pain, it抯 a signal to stop immediately.

Never use an actual vacuum as a penis pump. The suction on a vacuum is way too harsh and WILL cause broken blood vessels and bruising which could require an expensive trip to the emergency room.

Learn how to use the valve release. Almost all penis pumps have an valve release that you can use which will release the pressure on the penis. If the product you抮e looking at doesn抰 have this feature, you need to be looking at a different product! Learn how to use the release so that you can take the pump off immediately if you begin to feel pain, discomfort or experience blisters or bruising with your erection.

So Do Penis Pumps Actually Work?

The short answer to this question is yes, a penis pump can actually work, depending on what you抮e using it for. If you抮e expecting to gain 4? of penis size when you use it, you抮e probably going to be disappointed. But if you experience problems with impotency and erectile dysfunction, a penis pump can help you achieve and maintain a good erection and enable to you to have more satisfying sex with your partner.

Remember that any erection you get after using a penis pump isn抰 going to be there for long if you don抰 use a cock ring as well. A cock ring is designed to keep the blood in the penis after pumping, instead of allowing it to flow back into the body and leave the penis flaccid.

What Penis Pumps Can Be Used For

Penis pumps can be used to effectively treat erectile dysfunction, and they can also be used to treat Peyronie抯 Disease (when the penis is severely curved or bent). While you probably don抰 want to expect miracles when it comes to using a penis pump, the vacuum suction created by one is definitely enough to make a difference when treating impotency and a bent or curved penis. Of course, you definitely want to see your doctor first before using a penis pump for either of these conditions ?he or she can recommend the best treatment options for you, which may or may not include the use of a pump.
