Penis pumps have been around for some time and their popularity does not seem on the decline at all. For those of you who have never seen one, a penis enlargement pump is a cylinder that fits tightly over the penis. No air can get in and the little air trapped inside the cylinder is removed by the pump. The resulting vacuum pressure caused by the pump stretches the sponge-like tissues that make up the penis. In theory, the tissues then fill with much more blood than ever before and the quality of erections grows. The penis, too, allegedly expands in length and girth and permanent enlargement is reached. Is this theory correct? Actually, no. Subjecting any part of the human body to such pressure under vacuum conditions is a surefire way of rupturing blood vessels. Although the bleeding is confined to the penis and blood vessels heal in time, prolonged use of pumps is very likely to cause long term damage.

The positive effects of any penis pump (manual or electric) are temporary. Erections gained with the help of such a device last only a short time, as any man suffering from diabetes or poor circulation can tell you. The powerful suction does fill the penis chambers to the absolute maximum, but the blood will start leaving the penis as soon as the pump goes off. What’s worse is that the temporary benefits of stronger erections and increased size come with a heavy price tag. Preventing the blood from circulating for extended periods of time is risky because cells depending on blood for oxygen will start dying. The pump also tends to desensitize the penis, because the vacuum does not discriminate between cells that make up the tissues and those that are part of the nerves.

This problem is compounded by the fact that the safe pressure varies from one man to another and the recommended pressure is not always safe. You have probably heard the horror stories of impotence or curved penises told by people whose friends were maimed by pumps. This is why we advise any man interested in safe penis enlargement not to let himself suckered into buying a hazardous device. There are other ways to get a bigger penis without risking impotence in the process.
