A penis pump is a device
designed to enlarge the penis by creating suction around it, drawing
blood into the penis. This causes the tissue in the penis to stretch,
making the erection larger. This can also be quite a pleasurable sensation.
It has been reported that with repeated use, a penis pump can produce
a permanent increase in penis size.
Penis pumps can also be used
in conjunction with a penis ring by men
suffering from erectile deficiency. The pump is used to achieve the
erection, while wearing the ring. The pump is then removed and the ring
remains to help maintain the erection.
Some care should be exercised
while using a penis pump. Start off using low to medium pressure, and
stop immediately if any discoloring or discomfort occurs. It's better
to do longer sessions at lower pressure than short sessions at high
pressure. If you are expecting long term penis enlargement, start slow,
and be patient. The results will be much better if you are moderate
and allow the penis to expand gradually, giving the tissue a chance
to regenerate. Remember, the body doesn't like anything too traumatic.
A penis pump usually consists
of a plastic or perspex cylinder, with a sealing rubber at one end to
create a seal around the penis, and a tube coming from the other end
leading to a bulb or hand pump, which is used to pump the air out of
the cylinder. Electric penis pumps are also available which pump the
air out automatically. There will normally be a hole in the cylinder
that acts as a release valve, and is covered by a finger during operation.
It is recommended to use a good water based lubricant around the base
of your penis while using a penis pump, as it helps to achieve a more
effective vacuum. Some users also find that using a penis pump while
in the shower or bath is very pleasurable and more effective, as the
warmth can help the penis expand. Of course, if your penis pump is electric,
keep it away from water.
There are many different
models and varieties of penis pump, but they all work the same way.
One model (pictured above) features a vacuum gauge to allow the user
to monitor the amount of vacuum being applied to the penis. Some have
vibrating stimulators built into them for added pleasure, and others
have an electric pump, so you don't have to pump by hand.
The most important thing,
however, is the quality of the seal around the penis, so when shopping
for a pump, make sure it has a sleeve that will fit your penis properly.
Many of the better pumps contain multiple sealing rubbers of different
sizes, while others have a tapered rubber that can be cut down as your
penis grows.
