The Penis Pump

The penis pump has often only been referred to in passing as a joke. Many men wonder if the oftentimes extremely expensive (I've seen them go for as much as $650) penis pump actually does what it promises. Or is this mystical penis enlargement device simply an expensive joke?

So lets explore this area of penis enlargement and find out if the penis pump meets the expectations we've placed on it. Before we get started though, lets look at what a penis pump was originally intended to cure.

Did you know that the penis pump, also called a vacuum constriction device or VCD, is originally designed to treat erectile dysfunction?

The penis pump does this in the same way that many of us expect it to enlarge our penises. Here is how it works. By placing the penis pump over your penis and creating suction, blood begins to flow. The more vacuum that is created the more blood flows, and your penis becomes engorged. Pumping must me done carefully not to damage your penis.

Once your penis is erect, a flexible compression band or cock ring is slid over the penis with the help of lubricant to maintain the erection during intercourse. Intercourse can be safely attempted for up to 30 minutes. Anything longer than that, and you risk damage caused by the restricted blood flow.

Do penis pumps work? Well, that depends on what you're anticipations are. If you want a hard enlarged penis to make a porn star jealous you will be disappointed. The penis pump causes the tissue of the penis to become spongy, and your erection will be semi-flaccid. It can also have a purplish color due to the penis pump, and might be cold or numb.

Many men that have used penis pumps to combat impotence report a less than satisfactory erection, one that isn't comparable to a natural erection. So, do penis pumps work? For their original purpose, penis pumps can be a means to achieve an erection even if it is a less than impressive one.

The Penis Enlargement Pump

There are so many claims out there, products that promise massive gains, and the penis pump has taken its place among them. But does the penis pump really increase your penis size?

Taking what you know now about the primary use for the penis pump you have enough information to make an educated guess. But to put it in black and white, no. The penis pump wasn't designed to enlarge your penis. While a penis pump may produce some minor results, these are only temporary and your erection will resemble the one I have already described.

Besides the fact that the penis pump doesn't work for what it is often promoted to do, it can actually cause erectile dysfunction. You read that right, you can actually damage yourself through extended and frequent use. Damage can also come when you produce too much suction with the penis pump. This can lead to a permanently spongy penis and burst blood vessels that turn into blisters. The penis pump can even damage the ligaments at the base of the penis over time.

So does the penis enlargement pump hold up to its promise and justify the price tag? I would say no.
