Penis pumps are often thought of as being a quick way to make your junk bigger. Unfortunately this isn’t strictly true as they don’t actually change the size of your assets. But they can be helpful for men who experience erectile dysfunction.
Keeping your penis erect enough to maintain sex can sometimes be a challenge. There’s a whole range of reasons why you may experience erectile dysfunction too. It can be a one off event, a temporary glitch or sometimes become a more long term issue.
Using penis pumps can sometimes help treat this common problem. Naturally most men want to be able to enhance their sexual performance. Penis pumps provide a way of doing this without taking medication or needing surgical help.
How do penis pumps work?
Penis pumps work by drawing blood into your penis and keeping it there. You place a tube over your penis which you pump with either a hand held or battery operated pump. The pump then creates suction around your cock which causes blood to flow into it.
Once you’re hard enough, you put the constriction ring around the base of your shaft. This should help keep the blood pressure in your penis and keep your erection for longer. You can then take off the penis pump and carry on as usual. The erection you’ve achieved should in theory last long enough for sex.
Penis pumps aren’t always 100% effective at achieving an erection if there’s other issues at hand. But if you need some help they’re a good option to try first. They won’t cure erectile dysfunction unfortunately but you may get some confidence back in using them.
Side effects of penis pumps
No quick fix solution is without side effects. Penis pumps are no exception. When it comes to trying penis pumps, there are some things you should be aware of. The main side effects are as follows:
- Pinpoint-sized red dots (petechiae). Tiny amounts of bleeding under the skin due to high blood pressure.
- Numbness, coldness or bluish-colored skin. This is due to the constriction band being too tight.
- Bruised boner. With practice you can avoid any bruising to your member.
- Painful ejaculation. You might feel like your semen is trapped and experience some discomfort when you ejaculate but different constriction rings can help reduce this.
- Weird erections. Your penis might not feel like a normal erection after using a penis pump, it could lack some firmness at the base.
- Difficulty. You and your partner should be patient when you try a penis pump, it can be a little awkward until you get used to it.
- They can be clunky to use. Using penis pumps requires you to use both hands which can be awkward for some men and their partners.
Alternative solutions for erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction can be treated in a number of ways. While penis pumps are one method you can use which is drug-free, there’s a range of medications designed to enhance performance.
Understanding the cause of your erectile dysfunction is key to solving it. Men can sometimes struggle to get hard (impotence), stay hard or may have difficulties with ejaculation. All of these issues can be due to hormones, physiology or mental triggers.
For some men who have performance anxiety, getting hard and staying hard can be tough due to their nerves. When someone is relaxed, turned on and still finds it hard to maintain an erection, they often seek alternative help.
Viagra or Cialis are popular medications that help men with erectile dysfunction. Although both medications require the user to be aroused first. Once someone is turned on, the pills help sustain an erection although they can have side effects.
Having occasional difficulty in gaining an erection or keeping it hard enough for sex is normal. Being tired, drunk/high, recovering from poor health or on certain medication can all contribute towards erectile challenges. Being able to talk to your partner will help you relax going forwards. While your doctor can prescribe suitable medication for your circumstances if needed.
Penis enlargement
Penis pumps don’t make your penis bigger. Although it might feel like your erection is bigger due to the suction applied. When it comes to increasing the size of your cock, you’d have to look at other options.
There are a lot of pills and potions claiming to be able to make your penis bigger. Before trying anything, you should be careful to do your research thoroughly. As a lot of the pills are ineffective and have no medical evidence to support their claims.
Women value what a man is able to do with his dick more than how big it is. So you don’t have anything to worry about, just be a considerate lover and you’ll be a master of the bedroom in no time.
