Men from all over the world share a common worry – an apprehension about the size of their penis. Thanks to larger than life myths floating around that women are attracted to men with larger and sturdier sex organs, penis enlargement procedures are finding many takers these days and companies have cropped up to capitalize on this trend.
There are many methods involved in penis enlargement, and enlargement pills, cosmetic methods of penis enlargement, penis enlargement exercises and penis pumps are the prevalent ones among these.
What are Penis Pumps?
Penis pumps are tools used for penis enlargement. These pumps basically consist of a cylinder that can be fitted around the penis, and this cylinder is either attached to a manual pump or a motorized one. They can be considered as smaller versions of vacuum pumps. Penis pumps also come with rings that are used in the enlargement procedure, called cock rings.
What is the Mechanism Behind Their Operation?
During the enlargement procedure, the penis is generally fitted into a cylinder and a manual pump is used to create suction. A partial vacuum will be created around the penis during this action, and due to the presence of this vacuum, more blood will be drawn in, increasing the overall size of the penis in this way.
To maintain the erection that is created in this way, cock rings are used along with the penis pump. These rings can be fitted to the base of the penis, and after erection, these cock rings will block the outside flow of blood from the penis. This will help in keeping the penis erect and rigid for a longer time, acting as a temporary treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Is this Enlargement Procedure Safe?
You should first realize that penis pumps enlarge the penis only in a temporary manner. You can use such pumps rarely, at times, when you feel that they are necessary. You’ll gain no long term increase in your penis size by using such pumps, though.
You should also be very careful when you handle such pumps, because studies have shown that over constant use and when used recklessly, such pumps can cause damage to the blood vessels that are present around the penis. Your blood vessels may burst if you try and increase the pressure on your penis, and cases of damaged ligaments have also been reported. Vascular damage is common among men who use penis pumps, and blisters can also be formed, causing severe pain.
Serious damage to the tissues in the penis may be caused if a vacuum limiter is not present in the penis pump. Vacuum limiters are add-ons to penis pumps that let in some air if the pressure within the pump is too high. Pumps that don’t have such limiters can cause damage in the long run, although they show some temporary results.
Vacuum pumps may however, help in curing temporary impotence that can occur after surgical procedures like a radical prostatectomy. Using penis pumps during this time can help in preventing slow muscle death in the genital region.
Why You Should Avoid Such Pumps?
Studies and surveys have shown that women aren’t attracted by the size of a man’s penis, and some studies indicate that women may actually be repelled by the sight of a large penis. More than its length, the sturdiness and width of a penis are what matter as these can effectively pleasure women in bed.
Moreover, a woman’s vagina can accommodate penises of all lengths, so the size of a man’s penis doesn’t really matter unless it is way too small – that is, less than four inches in length.
