Dick pumps are devices used to encourage larger-than-usual erections, as well as being medically prescribed instruments for impotent men and recipients of prostate surgery. While some dedicated users report permanent size increases, most users will only experience enjoyable yet temporary size gains. Dick pumps can be an enjoyable masturbation aid at the very least.
Online, there is a great wealth of information to be found regarding dick pumps (vacuum pumps, penis pumping, penis enlargement etc) but the contradictory nature of reports makes it difficult to assess the benefits and risks of pumping. My review of dick pumping combines my experiences through trial and error with useful information I discovered online.
Although dick pumping is a lot of fun, there are risks involved. These risks will be explored later on..
Dick pumps feature two main components:
- The Cylinder, a tubular chamber large enough to accommodate an erect penis, and
- The Pump, used to decrease air pressure within the cylinder. Many pumps have a quick release valve to ensure rapid equalization of pressure when required.
To use a dick pump, simply insert your dick into the cylinder, connect the pump, and start pumping away. The dick acts like a cork, preventing more air from entering the chamber. Using the pump removes air from the cylinder, resulting in a pressure drop which helps draw blood and lymphatic fluid into your dick. Under these circumstances a penis becomes erect. To finish using the pump, operate the quick release valve and pull your dick out.
Dick pumps may include other items. Rubber / silicone cuffs can be fitted to the cylinder's opening to encourage an airtight seal as well as improved comfort. Vibrators may be included for pleasure. Cock rings are sometimes included so the super-sized erection can be maintained after removing the cylinder. Cock rings, which restrict blood flow to the penis, should never be worn for more than half an hour at a time.
Cylinders usually have two openings - one for the penis, and one to connect the pump. Avoid dick pumps with a third hole: usually located on the side of the cylinder, this hole is the quick release valve option on the dirt cheap models. This system requires a constant application of thumb pressure over the hole just to maintain low pressure within the cylinder. This is definitely annoying and unfun.
Also, avoid non-transparent or coloured cylinders - it is essential for the user to visually monitor the penis whilst under low pressure for signs of harm. Not only that, it is more erotic to watch the process taking place.
Cylinders come in a variety of lengths and diameters. The diameter of the cylinder should be about half an inch wider than the diameter of your penis, and at least an inch longer than your erect length. This is to ensure a nice fit as well as growing room. Too loose a diameter, and your testicles can be suddenly drawn into the chamber, a painful experience. Too tight, and you may have problems entering the cylinder as the pumping session progresses.
There are four main types of pumping mechanism. Squeeze pumps use a rubber bulb, similar to those found on instruments used to test blood pressure. Squeezing the bulb draws air out of the cylinder. Telescopic pumps draw air out of the cylinder in a similar action to a bike tyre pump. Pistol grip pumps employ a trigger action to decrease pressure within the cylinder. Electric pumps use a pump similar to air pumps used to aerate fish tanks.
Some of the more expensive pumping mechanisms may have a gauge to indicate the level of pressure. Pressure gauges are a useful, but not vital feature, of pumping mechanisms. However all pumps should have a quick release valve for rapid pressure equalization. It has been widely recommended by users that the best and safest enlargement results occur with no greater than 5 Hg (about what is required to raise a respectable stiff). Definitely maintain this level for a while, maybe 20 mins, before going on to more extreme (potentially dangerous) levels.
The best pumps can be detached from the cylinder when in use, thanks to an airlock mechanism employed at the point of connection.
The novice enthusiast should use the dick pump for no more than twenty minutes at a time, once every other day. There have been periods in my pumping life when I have worn the pump for hour-long sessions twice every day without suffering any ill effects, but this was after many years of experience.
To use a dick pump safely and effectively, it is important to do some warm up exercises first. A hastily performed cold start increases the chance of ruptured capillaries, usually almost instantly. In this situation it is necessary to stop pumping right away, before taking a few days off to recover.
Burst capillaries can be unsightly, embarrassing and mildly traumatic, however the penis will recover from such incidents. Aside from cold starts, too much pumping can also cause burst vessels. Pump slowly, and release the pressure if your dick experiences pain - dick pumping should never be painful. Never fall asleep while wearing your pump, for the same reasons you don't sleep while wearing a cock ring - your dick may fall off.
Warm up exercises can involve masturbating for a couple of minutes, applying hot towels to the penis, or taking a warm bath.
Before entering the cylinder, apply plenty of lube to your penis. This will help to avoid friction burns, as well as encouraging an airtight seal. It is helpful, but not necessary to shave the pubes off your shaft.
Attach the rubber cuff to the opening of the cylinder if desired, connect the pump to the cylinder, then insert your dick into the chamber. Work the pump slowly until your dick is erect.
There are no benefits from pumping your dick any more than what is required to achieve an erection because of the varying densities of penile tissue. The core of your dick needs more time to adjust to pressure drops than the surface does. Too much vacuum too quickly may lead to uneven development and burst vessels.
Another sign of over-pumping is a phenomenon known as the 'donut effect'. This is what happens when too much lymphatic fluid is drawn into the foreskin, causing it too balloon up freakishly into something resembling a donut. It will recover within days but not everyone desires such an outcome. If the donut effect manifests itself it is probably time to end your session.
If all goes well, which is usually what happens, your dick should temporarily attain massive proportions, a highly erotic experience. I started using pumps when I was still growing (22 years old), so I cannot be certain that pumping my dick has led me to any permanent size gains, but the temporary gains definitely keep me coming back for more.
For me, dick pumping is a fun, horny and relaxing activity. The sensation of experiencing an extreme erection via low air pressure is intensely erotic. There are many people who claim permanent size gains, but I would suggest these people are committed to a lengthy and serious pumping routine. I would recommend the medically verified traction devices for size improvements, but that is a different form of commitment and is not for everybody. But then again, neither are dick pumps.
In the following posts I will rate and review dick pumps currently available on the market. If anyone has anything they wish to contribute to this feed, feel free to join in...
