How to Use a Penis Pump

penis pumpSome people might suggest that a man’s best friend is his right hand. Or, well, his left hand. You know, either hand he masturbates with! And sure, either (or both) are going to get him through some hard times - or make fun times even harder! But there are very few fellas out there who are going to be entirely, always happy with the hard times they are born with. Just as with women and breasts, we have a societal expectation for both bigger and better-performing penises. While bigger might be a bonus, better-performing is something most people would definitely welcome.

There are a variety of reasons for underperforming penises. Some men do deal with premature orgasm and hope they will last longer. Some men suffer from erectile dysfunction and, for a variety of reasons, might not be able to get it up. And yes, while sometimes it is just aesthetics, some people do have a distinctly small penis and would like to increase the size.

Because of these various factors, we’re calling penis pumps the Holy Grail of sexual aids. They can help with all of these issues to do the most important thing: improve your sex life. If you haven’t already, check out our Beginner’s Guide to Penis Pumps before you buy and then read on to learn how to use one!

Getting started

When you receive your penis pump, don’t go rushing and sticking your dick right in it. We know you want to, but you have to ensure you know how to work it properly first. The most important part of a penis pump is not what it will do for you - but what it might do to you if you don’t use it properly. Before you put your pump on your penis, test out the suction on your leg. Create a proper seal on your thigh and slowly squeeze the pump a few times. Watch your skin rise in the shaft. After you’ve created a good tension, release the pressure with the valve. Once you’re satisfied with how the penis pump works, you can move on to your third leg.

You can also add some to the skin around the base of your cock. This will help keep a good, air-tight seal. Now, slide your penis into the tube. Once you’re all the way in, press the cylinder down against your pelvis. Unless noted as a specific toy, your scrotum and testicles should not be in the toy. Now you’re ready to go!

Pump it up!

By this point, you’re probably very eager to see what your penis pump can do! With your cock fully inside the toy and it pressed against you, give the first squeeze of the pump. Feels great, doesn’t it? Kinda like a blow job! This is just one of the reasons penis pumps are such an amazing addition to your collection: they can be used for masturbation, they can be used to help your sex or they can be used as an awesome foreplay toy!

As you get used to the feeling, be sure to pump slowly, once at a time. Don’t pump more than once quickly. The suction of the pump happens as you release the bulb, not as you squeeze it. You might get a little further than comfortable! Take each squeeze, feel the sensation and decide if you want more. You’ll notice your cock looking fantastic, big and hard in the cylinder. Whether you’re alone or with a partner, this will surely be a huge turn on!

How long should I use it?

As good as a penis pump feels, they should not be used for more than 20 minutes at a time. Leaving a penis pump on for too long can risk damaging your delicate blood vessels. Especially in the beginning of using one. Start your pumping off slow, just a few minutes at a time.

This isn’t to say you can only use them for that amount of time once! Of course, you can use penis pumps often - and it is recommended! The more often you use your penis pump, the more your blood vessels will expand and stay bigger. When they stay bigger, they’ll be able to accommodate more blood each and every time you get an erection. While penis pumps do not necessarily add significant length to a penis, they can increase the girth of a penis. They will also make your penis harder and more sturdy.

Benefits of penis pumps

Some people work out their biceps, lats, triceps and quads to look and feel better. Well, working out your cock with a penis pump just might be the most fulfilling workout you’ll ever have. If you create a regime of using your penis pump, you should notice results in terms of girth, rigidity and performance. Those using the pump to improve erectile difficulties might be able to perform and enjoy without medical aids. Those looking for girth will see an addition right before their eyes. And anyone playing with your penis might be able to feel how hard it is each and every time.
