Penis pumps are of greatest benefit when the penis is already erect or when you still have not achieved a full erection. The enlargement
effect however is not long lasting and will disappear quickly once pumping
ceases or if you remove the ring that keeps the blood pumped into the penis. Having said all these, penis pumps do not cause your penis to
grow; they can only help you achieve fuller and harder erections temporarily.
Despite the obvious benefit one gains from using a penis pump, many men and their partners don't like the device because the erection it
produces is not "normal." Some pump users complain that their penis feels numb or that it becomes discolored, misshapen, and cold to the touch.
Other couples are uneasy about the interruption of intimacy it brings to lovemaking. Also, some men find that the constriction ring at the base of
the penis causes mild discomfort upon ejaculation.
Penis pumps can be dangerous if used improperly. Take caution when using one and ensure that whatever pump you use has a reliable pressure
gauge and that you follow the instructions closely. Furthermore, using the
wrong kind of vacuum pump and using it too often can burst blood vessels in the penis, peel skin, cause general pain, and soreness. They also
tend to thin out the penis, making it very weak and reducing the duration of erections. There are some cases of penis pumps even deforming the
penis. Some men have found out that after using a penis pump for a period of time, the only way they would be able to obtain an
erection is with the pump.
The major problems associated with pumps are:
1. The results are rarely permanent since you're simply sucking
blood into your penis. The penis is not actually strengthened
nor does it increase in length or girth.
2. You run the risk of getting lymph blisters on the glands of your
penis from the device that you're putting over it.
3. You take the risk of bleeding from ruptured capillaries. Sucking a
lot of blood abruptly into your penis can rupture some penile
blood vessels.
4. You run the risk of temporary impotence as a consequence of
forcing blood to your penis for a period of time.
Although pumps do work temporarily (usually for about half an hour) this is unsuitable for spontaneous occasions and these devices have been
known to leave scars, bruises and in some cases gangrene, causing much pain to the penis. Pumps work by placing a tube over your penis and then
pumping the air out of the tube. This temporarily swells the penis, but does not increase the blood capacity in the cells of the penis, which
is crucial in achieving permanent size gains.
After learning all of these disadvantages, you need to think twice
before you consider using a penis pump to help you sustain an erection. Your best bet to a full-sized penis would be to exercise and keep your
blood flowing healthily.
