Penis Pumps

There are two different kinds of penis pumps: one enlarges the penis by creating a vacuum, while the other creates sucking and stroking sensations. They look similar and consist of a cylinder in which to insert the penis, a gasket to maintain a seal around the base, and a pump to remove air from the cylinder and create a vacuum.

The enlargement pumps are usually controlled manually, using a pump bulb similar that used by doctors to check blood pressure. As air is pumped out of the cylinder, the penis is free to expand and blood rushes in to further enlarge it.

In theory, consistent use of a penis pump is similar to weightlifting. The repeated artificial engorgement and consequential stretching of the erectile tissue is supposed to increase the size of the penis over time. It is generally accepted that these pumps can not produce any significant change in the length of the penis, although it may be possible to augment the circumference. Whether or not regular use of a penis pump can permanently enlarge a man's penis is still debated, but some men swear by them. Nevertheless, pumps must be used with caution in order to prevent burst capillaries, blistering and other ill effects.

Masturbation pumps, sometimes called sleeves, are designed specifically for pleasure rather than for enlargement; they are, however, very similar in design. They usually include a gasket molded in the shape of a vagina, anus or mouth, and may incorporate a vibrating bullet. After inserting the penis into the soft, warm masturbator, the pump mechanism is used to gently increase and decrease the amount of vacuum suction, simulating the pleasure of intercourse. The Magnum Pump is a quality pump with extra security features including a pressure gauge and safety release. For extra stimulation the Power Grip Pump includes a ribbed latex entrance and vibrating oscillator.
