It’s crazy how something can be laughed at so much, yet the proof it’s not all jokes is undeniable. I’m talking about penis pumps, of course. I’ll never forget the first time I heard about them. A friend of mine said, “Dude, have you heard about penis pumps?” I was like, “Uh, no? Is that a real thing?” He said, “Yeah man, it totally is! There’s this pump you stick your Penis Rings into and it pumps it up so it’s larger. You can thank me later.”
I thought he was by lying or vibrators making a crude joke, but then a few weeks later in a group chat I happened to bring it up. Everyone else was like “Oh yeah, totally. My buddy uses one and says it works.” At this point, I was like, what the heck? Penis pumps are a real thing? How is this possible?
So I decided to do some research and find out if it was true or not. As it turns out, although penis pumps can be somewhat effective, a lot of it is just hype. The scientific evidence for them is really thin. There’s only a few studies that have been conducted on it, and none of them conclude that it can actually increase penis size in a stay lasting way. So while the good news is that penis pumps are not as effective as they are advertised to be, the bad news is that there’s no real proof that they are totally effective either.
But there is proof for one benefit of penis pumps. Men who use them can often experience increased libido and improved sexual performance in the short term. This is due to the increased blood flow the pumps create. So while it’s not going to provide a permanent increase in penis length, it can provide a short-term boost.
Aside from increased libido, men who use penis pumps also report better erections due to the increased blood flow. This could be very helpful for men who struggle with erectile dysfunction. Although, like I said before, it’s not enough for a stay lasting effect so it’s a bit of a double-edged sword.
