Thousands of guys around the world can’t be wrong, eh?

Penis pumps do work extremely effectively … for erectile dysfunction. They increase blood flow to the penis, artificially creating an erection. Just slip a cock ring – also called a “constriction ring” – over the penis afterwards, and you’ve got a massive erection to impress the ladies.

However, as a permanent way to increase the length of the penis, the evidence is merely anecdotal.

A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Urology International found that using a penis pump for 20 minutes per session, three times a week, over a period of six months produced an average increase of 0.3 centimeters. Yep, just 3 millimeters for all that effort.

The surprising result of the study was that a third of the men involved in the study seemed perfectly satisfied with their reward for their effort. Perhaps just the experience of using the penis pump – a license to masturbate? – was all the reward they needed.

Erections produced by penis pumps aren’t always as good as the real thing. The penis can feel cold or numb or go purplish in color. But if you’re having a problem producing an erection as a result, say, of a radical prostatectomy, regular use of a penis pump can keep your penile tissue from atrophying.

If you do enjoy using a penis pump for the pleasure of getting a massive erection, it might be wise to limit your use. You can burst a blood vessel, get blisters, or accidentally suck a testicle into the cylinder (ouch!). To be on the safe side, purchase a pump with a “vacuum limiter,” which will ensure that the artificial vacuum won’t ever grow strong enough to damage your goods.
