Anyone here who has a Bathmate penis pump?

I've never used one because my penis is already too big..... :-c

All kidding aside, I would be careful with something like that because if you were too aggressive and burst blood vessels, you could cause permanent damage to your penis. I'm sure there are some gains to be had, but there are also some pretty big risks.

It is impossible to have permanent gains this way. What people claim might be due to placebo effect, or might be paid to do so. Lots of men have inferiority complex down there, and are ready to spend a lot.If you want a toy for your penis, there are much better options.

Are there other ways to get gains? Like stretcher devices?
I am not happy with my dick. 🙁

@Luxxy, it would be helpful to let us know what the better options might be.

Of course is the penis gets too big you would faint before a full erection 😐

As to have fun, there are a lot of masturbator out there, I only tried the Tenga 3D some time ago, before discovering the aneros, I have to say it was awesome. Never tried any other like fleshlight or anything...
Thanks to the aneros, I learned to have dry penile orgasm, so I might by one of these someday.
If you have lots of money, sybian make the "venus for men" which might be quite something.
Sextoys is a growing industry with some awesome things coming !

If you want a bigger dick surgery is the only road, however, it still is risky and will only "improve" your flaccid dick (Fat is inserted under the skin, some tendon are cut so that it will hang lower).
Keep in mind that THIS might evolve someday, science isn't still.

On the side note, if it's just about size, you still have to understand that having a big / long penis ain't something quite enjoyable, you wouldn't have more feeling, you can actually hurt your partner etc...

Yeah I don't really care about my penis size since it is about average I guess. Well maybe above according to that penis size data awhile back, but those seemed to be smaller than what I think of as average. I'm more interested in controlling my ejaculation so I could last as long as I choose. 🙂

@ isvara

I think this is a myth. I have seen porn videos where the guys easily had 9-10 inches and they weren't fainting.

@dunz, oh dear, it was a joke. Just my sense of humour. We can get too serious on this forum - orgasmic energy is life awakening, to be enjoyed, savoured, and it is fun too :-c

@ isvara

I understand. I used to believe that people with huge dicks could faint when they get an erection but then when I watched porn and saw that all the men with huge dicks didn't faint I realized that it's not true. I wish they would faint though. This would make me feel better about myself.

It's placebo. You can do Jelqing exercises for a couple of months, but they only effect length for the most part.

@dunz, I suppose if you hung weight on it for years it is possible if you empty the spleen and start drain blood from the brain you could faint. Let's hope so for the girls sake :))
I agree with your comment about the monster porn stars, I always feel sorry for the girls.

I read somewhere that women who used visualization in combination with theta/alpha waves and auto-suggestion were able to increase the size of their breasts, needless to say when I read that I gave it a try but my titties stayed the same size

But if penis enlargement exercises didn't work at all why are there people on forums who do this stuff or have done it for years? I think that it probably really does work. Why should they all lie and say they gain length when in reality they dont?

@dunz,
They like doing it. It feels good doing it. It does at least temporarily fatten up the ol' man. It does feel Ike an expanded erection, it gives them something to do, it is something to play with in the bath - more fun than a rubber ducky. Some people like experimenting. Some folk just like to play.
The reasons are endless. They don't lie. - it works for them.
There are countless things we do they are in the same class. Some would count Aneros as pointless - some even on this forum have used the same words you have used to berate other forum members about the lies they tell about having a super 'o'.

@dunzAdding to what isvara said, you also have to consider that if everything did work as intended the world would be a much different place.
A lot of product are complete fraud, nicotine patch or gum for example. But as it profit everyone, it's not the kind of things that will change.
Now, why should they lie ? Maybe are they paid to do so ? Maybe the want to feel better about having invested in this ? Maybe the truly think that it worked…

Now, I guess I'm kinda telling you that you can't trust people on some random forum, guess what ? We are on such random forum, therefor you can't take our word for granted.

Now you can either, accept it's uselessness for it's advertised use, find some scientific research that will explain from a to z why it doesn't work, or try it yourself.

@dunz.

From Columbia University, read this before spending your money on a Bathmate.
A quick review of how a penis is put together may clear up much of the confusion regarding penis enlargement. Enclosed in a case of skin, the penis is composed of nerves, blood vessels, fibrous tissue, smooth muscle, and three cylindrical bodies of spongy tissue that fill with blood when the penis is erect. There is no bone in the penis, but skeletal muscle can be found at the base of the penis. Books and web sites advocate exercises practiced "since ancient times" to lengthen or strengthen the penis, including hypnosis. However, medical research indicates that without surgical work, penis lengthening is not considered possible, even with the use of ancient enlargement and hypnosis treatments.

As any quick internet search will tell you, there are many purported “ancient” penis enlargement techniques out there. However, most of these techniques consist of simple masturbation techniques that have no effect on penis size. For example, "jelq" is portrayed as an "Arabian" technique involving either wrapping the index finger and thumb around the base of the penis and pulling up, or pinching the penis with the index finger and thumb and pulling up. This exercise operates on the premise that the penis is a muscle that can be toned and buffed similar to your biceps. But, for better or worse, the smooth muscle of the penis cannot be exercised. So, work out all you please, but don't expect a longer or thicker penis.

The surgical techniques used for enlargement are not well researched or defined at this point. Surgical techniques used to enlarge the penis include fat injections, implants, and tissue grafts. These procedures, however, are still experimental and can leave large scars from where the skin is grafted, which has the potential to necessitate additional corrective surgery. Furthermore, injecting fat can result in a lumpy penis, since fat is reabsorbed into the body unevenly. There are also techniques involving cutting the ligaments that attaches the penis to the pubic bone. This often results in an erection that points downward, due to the loss of the penis's anchor to the pubic bone, and has no true effect on the size of the penis; it simply allows the penis to hang lower when flaccid. Nerves can be cut and damaged during surgery as well.

If you are seriously considering surgery, be sure to discuss the surgical procedures, possible adverse effects and complications, your concerns, and expected results and cost (since this procedure would not be covered by insurance) with a qualified, trained, board-certified surgeon who specializes in surgical penile enlargement. If you’re a Columbia student, you can start by meeting with a health care provider through Medical Services on the Morningside campus or Student Health on the Medical Center campus. If you feel like you need additional support considering your options, consider contacting Counseling and Psychological Services (Morningside) or Mental Health Services (Medical Center) for more information.

Perhaps the state of penile enlargement options will change in the future. In the meantime, perhaps you can learn to “love the one you’re with”?

So this means everyone who says that he gained an inch through exercises is simply lying?
But what sense does this make? Those people in penis exercise forums aren't even selling anything. What sense does it make for them to hang around there and make stuff up?

Keep in mind that some of them are paid. Now, for the other, what sens does it have to make ? Haven't you ever done anything because you could ? Have you never done bad things to feel better ? Honestly, I don't know what to tell you... It's just the basis of not even humanity, but maybe of life in general, even thought it doesn't matter much anymore.


You may feel bad because of how downsized you are and want to change things for the better, so do they, however, while you are looking to improve yourself, the aim to make people miserable.
You can better yourself by doing better, or having everyone else doing worse.

The guys and Thunder's place did put a smile on my face when I visited the site a while back. At the time I thought they were possibly OCD but why should they lie about getting gains of a fraction of an inch and spending many hours/days and years to get this small increase? I confess I tried the stretching/jelqing routine over about 6 or 7 weeks and thought I saw a gain of like half an inch in length, but I'd changed measuring techniques using a hard ruler at the end pressing hard into the pubic bone that probably explained the 'gain' and I just don't have the motivation or determination to be focused daily on my penis.

So if it's a all a big scam it's even more hilarious. When I was reading the threads it was already obvious that there were a few compulsive liars on the tread but as I mentioned above some of the other claims weren't that outrageous but it was always entertaining to read the type of punishment they inflicted on their penis for sometimes hours a day.
There were certain threads that really brought the compulsive liars out in full force, something about the downside of having too much girth for blowjobs. And one of the guys, 'titleist' I think was his nick, said he had achieved a girth of 7,5 inches with p.e. (but still wasn't satisfied) and whereas others said it effected their (oral) sex life adversely, his fiancee/wife of course didn't have any problem whatsoever.
Someone wrote that she must have mouth like a crocodile. :-SS

But why shouldn't it be possible to stretch the penis? And there are also stretching devices which are FDA approved doesn't this mean that they do work?

I'd really like to try it but I'm worried about side effects. I don't know how dangerous this stuff is.

Usually, side effect include loss of money and that feeling that you've been had.

@dunz

You can stop hating yourself, you know. It's not something money can buy. It's not some surgeon or marketer's choice... It's yours only.

Unfortunately Columbia isn't familiar with what they are talking about. I don't do the exercises, since I haven't had time and I'm lazy, but what Columbia is claiming has nothing to do with what PE Sites actually discuss. Yes the main method sourced is jelquing, but they don't believe there is a muscle there or anything. The main idea behind why they think the penis enlargement exercises work is that you are forcing blood into the spongy parts of the penis at higher rates. The thought is that continuing to push that spongy tissue to its maximum capacity will increase it over time. They also believe that the exercises promote cell mitosis.

The idea that Columbia thinks these communities believe the penis is or has a muscle is hilarious.

@magus242, yes, they are for a university confused - often happens at such places! You are correct that penis enlarging techniques focus on the spongy tissues. Jelqing is done with a partially erect penis squeezing more blood in. Penis pumps suck more blood into the spongy tissue. I am not saying it works just that the university got it wrong - again.
Now for older men who have diffucilty getting an erection a penis pump may be a useful tool to enlarge the penis and flush the tissues with fresh blood. It may also help them to remember 'what it was like' when the 'old man' could look at the sky and be amazed, it could add years of joy to their lives!

At best you might be able to get a 1/4 " of in length of any method, and you can (temporary) get your cock thicker by pumping, the longer you do it the longer it will last. Keep in mind what you read on the internet is usually not true. LOL You can damage your cock easily by any method so use extreme care it needs to last you a lifetime. Why to you think your cock is small? How old are you, it may not be done growing, mine was not until I was close to 30. Just how "small" is it? Remember it not how big it is but how you use it.

The truth. I'm not porn star big but I'm larger than average. A larger cock might make you feel better than the other guys standing next to you but the majority of women only enjoy the idea. Putting it to use is entirely different. You can take your time, sex up your partner until they're a dripping mess and guess what? It still hurts them. This might be ok for a quick lay but long term commitment where sex is avoided because of issues really makes things annoying. Most of my long term relationships (including my marriage) the sex was great but slowed down because my partners weren't size queens. We can't have sex back to back days; my wife tells me she needs to rest her pom-pom. Most of my serious relationships end this way. Thankfully I love(loved) them for who they were and not for the sex but I have to admit I wish I got more sex.
Besides the obvious stated things you should really, really look at your health and self worth. I like to stay in shape and by staying in shape it keeps my energies elevated. I care for my penis, I mean who doesn't? The crazy stretches or regiments might gain you 1/2" but you risk damaging your dick. There isn't much you can do after that short of surgery.
Instead I look at my health and that means my body will be healthy and I'm healthy to have sex. Taking care of your body will have positive effects. Losing belly fat can shed more length to your dick. I could probably lose another 10lbs and gain another 1/2 inch or more could be hiding under that pubic bone fat.
Working on your health helps your image and people pick up on it. Self confidence is a hell of a drug.

I am in my late 50s and have used a bathmate regularly for about three years. The benefit for me has been better quality erections.

@Drummer, it didn't cause any increase in size? No length? No circumference? I read that it is supposed to help increase size somewhat, as well as better erections.

@Badger: The size gains are minimal. My erect penis gained about 1/4" inch in length and about a 1/2" in girth after the first couple months of use. After that, there have been no further size gains. My flaccid size did not increase. I suspect the size gains are the soft tissue that was not filling up with blood during erection are now filling up. So, I cannot attest that it will make you noticeably bigger, but for me, it has helped my erections. My sex partners have remarked how hard I get.
