Many a man has taken a look at his engorged penis and thought, “What if it were even bigger?” (Indeed, the number of men who have NOT had this thought is probably quite small.) Some men stop at this wondering stage; others move on to take action to achieve a larger tool, and for many of these men, the vacuum penis pump is their method of choice. While using a penis pump can raise some concerns in terms of penis care, quite a few men proceed with pumping anyway – and hopefully take proper care as they do so.
What is it anyway?
Vacuum penis pumping is different from another practice which has been in the news lately, silicone penis pumping. The latter is a very dangerous activity in which silicone is injected into the tool to increase its size; this should be avoided at all costs.
In vacuum penis pumping, a man inserts his penis into a cylindrical tube. The air is then pumped out of the tube, creating a vacuum which then entices blood into the penis, engorging it. Intended as a way to help men with erectile dysfunction achieve hardness, it is used recreationally by men as some believe it can provide a temporary increase in size (usually more in girth than in length).
It’s a sharing thing.
While there are certainly many men who enjoy penis pumping in private and share it only with themselves, there are other pumpers who prefer to make it a social activity. This is understandable; if one has temporarily achieved an enlarged tool, one might well be anxious to show off this achievement. Displaying one’s pumped peter to others with similarly inflated members is far preferable to displaying it on a street corner to unsuspecting passers-by!
Be prepared.
It should go without saying, but a penis pumping party is going to include at least a fair amount of nudity, so those men made uncomfortable by the site of another guy’s junk – or any part of his body – should pass on any invitations.
Also, good hygiene requires that one not share pumps – so it’s definitely a Bring Your Own Pump affair. It’s also important that a man is truthful about the state of his penis health before going to a shared pumping event: Crabs are not welcome. Inquire in advance if towels are provided; if not, a man should bring his own to keep furniture and shared spaces clean.
Know what to expect.
It’s a good idea to get ground rules set before attending a pumpfest. For example, many men enjoy simply pumping up and then sitting or standing around, showing off with other pumpers. Others like to engage in masturbation, and others may want to engage in sexual activity with other pumped men. Finding out what is the norm for the event can help a guy avoid finding himself in an awkward situation.
Be careful.
It is very important to proceed cautiously if using a vacuum penis pump, whether alone, with a partner or at a party. Following instructions carefully is necessary; even so, some men experience side effects, such as bruising, soreness or bleeding due to blood vessel ruptures. Some men report that ejaculations while pumped are painful. Those with bleeding or clotting issues should avoid using a penis pump.
Displaying one’s fully pumped penis to others at a penis pump party can give a guy’s ego a great boost; he should, however, be prepared for some of the common side effects, such as rawness or soreness, by using a top-notch penis health cream (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). A cream that includes a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and a natural moisturizer like vitamin E is best. And if a guy is prone to rank penis odor, using a cream with vitamin A can help fight this common problem – avoiding embarrassment in front of other pumped men.
