A penis pump is a cylinder that one would place around the penis, this cylinder has a hose coming from it that creates suction. The suction draws blood into the penis, which creates an erection as well as increasing the size of the penis. Penis pumps also have a special medical use for men who suffer from impotency. Penis pumps can be used to obtain an erection and maintain the erection with a cock ring. There are, of course, a lot of opinions on the issue of whether pumps work or not. When using a penis pump short term, they would have a temporary effect – possibly several days. If one was looking for a long term effect it would take commitment – just like body building; if you stop working out you would lose muscle mass. When the airtight vacuum pump cylinder is placed around the penis, blood rushes into the muscle portion. The muscle tissue expands, breaks down, and then rebuilds into larger and stronger muscles. The length of pumping session and the frequency of pumping sessions are two factors that will determine the results. With daily ‘pumping’, it may be possible to maintain the increases if you have the time to ‘pump’ often. Naturally, the increases vary from individual to individual. Most men will see more increases in girth than in length; it's difficult to say how much of an increase in length will occur. While in the cylinder, the penis can gain as much as 2 inches. The increase in girth should be greater and longer lasting. A penis pump becomes unsafe when too much pressure is applied to the penis, this could result in temporary discoloration of the penis and blisters. Remember to go slow and take your time. If any pain is experienced, decrease the pressure; when ‘pumping’ is done carefully and correctly, using a penis pump is perfectly safe. Remember---- Everything is better with LUBRICANT!

1. Start by shaving the base of the penis and testicles back about an inch or more so that when the cylinder is put on a good seal can be established.
2. It helps to apply the pump with an erection, though it's not required.
3. Press the cylinder against your body to keep your testicles from being pulled up into the tube. This is painful for some men (though some men pump them as well, to really big sizes).
4. Vacuum cylinder with tension ring is placed over penis.
5. Pump removes air from cylinder, which causes penis to become erect.
6. Tension ring is slid to base of penis to maintain erection; cylinder is removed.
7. It is important to take it slow and gradual. If the pressure increases too rapidly it will cause bruising. Enjoy the experience. If you do get any bruising, it will usually go away after a day or so. Do not pump until you are in pain. If you began to sense pain, release some of the pressure.
8. Increase the pressure to highest level that you can maintain comfortably. As your penis gets larger, increase the pressure to the point where you are still comfortable and not experiencing any pain.
