Penis Pump?
Originally Published: December 06, 1996
 

Dear Alice,

I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING A PENIS ENLARGEMENT PUMP. ARE THERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM AND DO THEY WORK. IF SO, WHAT KIND DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Dear SMALL PENIS THAT WANTS TO GET BIGGER,

A penis enlargement pump was designed to help men whose erections are not strong, or not as strong as they used to be, to enable them to engage in intercourse. This is a satisfactory solution for some men. (If the pump is not used correctly, however, there can be loss of sensation, loss of penile skin, and even gangrene.)

If you are having trouble with erections, and this is a problem for you, Alice recommends that you see a urologist who can check, among other things, your blood flow. If your penis size is a problem for you, that is another issue entirely. The pump is only a temporary solution to small penis size. After the pumping, the penis will return to its regular size. Alice recommends that you read Q & As that relate to penis size in Alice's Sexuality archives.
