Any man who reads men's magazines has seen ads for penis enlargement vacuum pumps, in the back of the book near the hair transplant ads. The first penis pumps were patented around 1914; they were invented to help men get and maintain erections, and even after the advent of Viagra, modern versions are still sometimes used for that purpose. Dr. Kaminetsky, many of whose patients have erection problems, showed me a vacuum pump when I visited his office. It was a clear plastic cylinder, longer and wider than any ordinary penis, open at one end and sealed at the other. A tube coming out of the sealed end was attached to a suction pump. Dr. Kaminetsky told me to put my palm over the open end of the cylinder he was holding. He pumped air out of the cylinder, and I could feel the strong pull on my palm. A penis, inserted into the tube, would be pulled in the same way: As air is pumped out the penis expands to fill the space.
A pump is a cumbersome treatment for impotence. The couple must wait until the man pumps up and removes himself from the tube before their lovemaking can proceed, and then his erection will be big and heavy rather than stiff, "like a cold sausage," as Dr. Kaminetsky put it. But a man alone with his pump can get a thrill just from watching his organ grow.
Men who pump can devote hours to the equipment, discuss the fine points with fellow pumpers, tune in to other people's experiences at various web sites on the Internet, look at pictures of other people's pumping results. And all the while the equipment, shaped somewhat like a penis, is meant to enhance their equipment, the penis itself.
This pumping is no simple operation. First of all there's the question of what kind of pump to buy: cheap or expensive, manual or electric. And then, when you use it, should the tube be filled with hot water (not if it's electric it shouldn't)? And what kind of lubricant should you use? (One man wrote to
his fellows at a pumping web site, "I use olive oil for lube. It's all natural, inexpensive, great for your skin and washes off the tubes with a drop of detergent.") And how long and at what pressure should you pump? And after you're pumped up should you keep it on while you watch TV (lots of pumpers do)? And should you ejaculate into it (you'll have to clean it)? And how long should your penis stay big after it's thoroughly pumped (several hours, some say)? And is it a good idea to tell your wife about your practice? And, most important, will pumping affect your erections? These and other questions are debated at length on the Internet.
Many pumpers trim their pubic hair before pumping —to get a good seal, some say, and also to make their penises look bigger. They use different-size cylinders: a longer, thinner one to expand length, and a shorter, wider one to expand width. Some men pump their balls. Some use a "cock cushion," a thick silicone ring placed around the base of the penis to restrict circulation and keep it from deflating totally between meetings with the vacuum tube. A man who devotes several hours a day to pumping his penis may be able to keep it in a perpetually pumped-up state. On the other hand, if he pumps too much he could lose his ability to have natural erections.
In spite of what pumpers like to believe, there is no scientific evidence that pumping permanently enlarges the penis. But in the end this detail may be unimportant. No one becomes a pumper who doesn't enjoy it. Though it is done with a goal in mind and might be thought of as exercise, pumping is also, it must be said, a form of sexual activity. That's why one manufacturer advertises "The Electric Deep Throat Developer System," with fifty "throbbing, root-milking pulses per minute . . Develop your cock to stud-like proportions and get the ultimate suck job at the same time."
