Episode description

Sex toys and sexual wellness products for men have long been stigmatized, but it’s time to change that. There are numerous products on the market that have the potential to help men improve their sexual health and performance, and that includes penis pumps! In today’s episode, we’re going to do a deep dive into these devices. We’ll talk about how penis pumps can help in terms of improving sexual self-confidence and erectile health, how to use them correctly and safely, whether they can make your penis bigger, and more.

I am joined once again by Dr. Lance Frank, a pelvic health physical therapist who runs Flex PT ATL in Midtown, Atlanta. His practice focuses on providing services to patients managing sexual health and intimacy concerns, pelvic pain, and urinary or bowel dysfunction. He also talks extensively about men’s pelvic health on social media, and you can follow him at @lanceinyourpants.

Some of the topics we cover in this episode include:

• What is a penis pump anyway, and how does it work?
• What are the benefits of using these devices?
• Compared to other erectile enhancers (e.g., medications, cock rings), what are the advantages of a pump?
• What are best practices for using a penis pump?
• What should someone consider when purchasing a pump?
