As more and more men are interested in penis enlargement techniques, the availability of products and services promising fast and effective results grows from one year to another. From weights, to pumps and traction devices and on to pills, creams and patches, prospective customers are tempted with all the possible combinations that medicine and mechanics could put together. It all depends on which path you decide to trust.

Pumps are the one of the oldest tricks on the book. They probably come right behind the original penis enlargement device: weights. Pumps use suction to stretch the penis past its normal size. The suction breaks up the cells that make up the penis tissue and triggers the formation of new cells. In time, the penis starts to grow in length and girth as a response to the prolonged use of suction and the increased blood flow in the area.

Many men claim positive results with the pump, which is why this technique is still fetching after so long. But the less known side of the story is that pumps are not very safe, as penis enlargement techniques go. The suction that breaks up cells also triggers a small internal bleeding in the penis. If the suction is too powerful, the tissue could be ruptured beyond repair.

At the very least, pump users run the risk of injuring the nerves and experiencing painful erections or a loss of feeling at penis level. At the most, a mistaken handling of the pump could result in impotence. There are also reports of men whose testicles were pulled into the pump, obviously by an improper use of the device. Needless to say, such experiences are very painful.

Ultimately, pumps are a good idea if properly handled, but far too risky for the average penis enlargement seeker. If you are really interested in penis enlargement, then you should try some of the tamer options, such as pills, or patches. Even traction devices are safer than the pumps, especially since they are less complicated to operate and.
