Do pumps help treat ED?

[Mrman1234 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Mrman1234]

I'm a very frustrated guy. Struggling with ED and subsequent low morale/drive. I know pumps help with size/growth, but can they help treat ED? Do you just use a pump right before sex or does regular use help for whenever you're ready to go? Is bath mate the best choice or is that just for enlargement? I'm content with my size, I just want my erections back. Help.

There's a mod here (not2big) I believe that uses a pump for ED.

I have noticed an increase in erections with low intensity (lighter suction force) when pumping on a regular basis. Too high of suction force tends to create the opposite effect for me.

I think pumping can help a little bit, as can strengthening your pelvic floor muscles thru kegeling. If watching porn on a regular basis, I would highly suggest laying off that for a while, as that contributes to ED as well.

Bathmate is a good pump.

Does penis pumping really work?

Yes, penis pumping does work. However, it’s effectiveness depends on what your goals are with pumping. There are two primary reasons why men use penis pumps. These include:

• Erectile Dysfunction - Penis pumps were originally designed as an aid for men who were troubled with erectile dysfunction. In fact, in the trial of former judge Donald Thompson, who was discovered wearing a penis pump while he was overseeing Oklahoma trials, expert witness testimony, from a urologist, noted that penis pumps were a low-cost and effective treatment for erectile dysfunction.

• Penis Enlargement - Penis pumps, in the recent decades, have been re-engineered to ‘exercise’ the penis and facilitate enlargement.

Penis Pumping 101- An Overview | PEGym


PE exercises such as Jelqing, Edging, and Kegels (regular and reverse) help improve penile health and increase EQ, if you are just starting, I recommend you condition your penis with manual exercises at first, before you use pumps.

Sure, that was their original intention. Check out this article for info on it's effect for ED, and other pump related questions.
What Are Penis Pumps? How to Build a Bigger & Harder Penis

I believe regular use will help in general (as well as other PE methods), but also before to help encourage good blood flow and erections.

Any pump should work, but there are pros and cons for each. Some are detailed in that article, including price, air vs. water, gauge or not, etc.

Also, there are other factors that may be contributing to your ED, most commonly anxiety or physiological issues. It may be helpful to identify the reason, and address that as well.

Pumping for ED is a routine put forward by Avocet8 over at Thunders. I followed it for a year or so which helped improve (not overcome) my ED.

Essentially it entails pumping at 5 hg for three 10 minute sessions, each followed by three Ulies ending in a squeeze of the glans. Slowly slide a fairly tight ok grip up your shaft until it reaches the glans. Hold the grip tightly while grabbing your glans with your other fingers and squeeze additional blood into the tip of the glans. Repeat the squeeze three time before repeating the process. I did two sessions a day.

Dynamic or pulse pumping is another pumping routine that helps with ED. In this routine pump for 2-3 minutes at 5 hg and than reduce the vacuum to 2 hg for a minute. Repeat three or four times. You can vary the time frames from time to time. The rhythm is supposed to mimic the cycle your dick goes through during REM sleep to generate night wood.

Depending on cause and severity of your ED you can pump up your erection and maintain it with a tight constriction band in order to accomplish penetration.

Thanks guys. I rarely wake up with morning wood, and if I do, it's usually fleeting. Also, I don't masturbate (married and haven't jerked myself in 4 years), and I don't watch porn. Today I jelqed for a few minutes with a semi-boner, then worked my way up to a full hard-on in the shower to do some edging, but went limp after a minute or so. So it's obviously frustrating that I can't maintain an erection for sex, but now I'm struggling to even be able to edge by myself. I'll try to keep up these habits though, even doing it on my bathroom breaks and will do sets of Kegals at my desk. Thanks for the pumping tips as well.

Thank you! See my latest post in this tread. What sort of pump do you have? I am looking for ways to improve, not cure as you said. I just want a healthy, functioning penis and am really looming for the best exercises and routines to get there.

I use the Harbor Freight brass brake bleeder pump with gauge coupled with various cylinders.

So I took your guys' advice: did a round of Kegals at my desk, then went to the bathroom, worked myself to a semi, did about 10 slow jelqs, then once fully hard I edged - got super close to blowing twice but held off. While the jelq grips were tight, I was really light on my grip while edging - just brushing my palm up and down and using saliva so it could glide. I don't want to get to the point where I rely on a death grip in order to orgasm, so I figured that little pressure would be best. This seemed to work well, as the erection stayed super strong but still very sensitive. My goal is to get an erection strong enough for penetration but that can be maintained without a death grip. Should I consider getting a cock ring for once I'm erect? Do those work well?

Whatever floats your boat brother.

Great job on your improvement. I found that jelqing really raised my overall EQ.

Have you considered starting the JP90? There are a few members, looking4more for example, that came with ED and penis exercises cured it. You might find that some manual work alone will fix your problem.
