A cock pump (also known as a cock ring) is a hand or electric-powered device that creates a vacuum inside a plastic tube to simulate an erection. It’s slipped over the base of the penis and, once an erection is achieved, a rubber constriction ring is slid down onto the cylinder to hold it in place. Typically, the pump is removed after 30 minutes. Depending on the model, some pumps include a “time limit” feature that stops suctioning after a set period.

Tips on Getting the Most Benefits From a Penis Pump

The devices are often used as a sexual aid for men, especially during intercourse. They can be very effective, and a comfortable experience when used correctly. Nevertheless, it’s important to understand that using a penis pump can take some getting used to. Many users report that the erections created by the device feel fake or unnatural, and that they can lose firmness after time. Others complain that the cock rings are uncomfortable or snag on pubic hair.

It’s important to follow the instructions for your specific pump to prevent pain or bruising from incorrect use. It’s also recommended that you lubricate the base of your penis and the cylinder before inserting it to help ensure an airtight seal. Also, be sure to trim any pubic hair that may snag on the ring or cylinder and be a source of discomfort or irritation. If you suffer from a blood disorder, such as sickle cell anemia, you are at higher risk for bleeding or blood clots while using a pump. If you are unsure whether you are at increased risk, talk to your doctor before using the device.
