7 Ways to Treat Erectile Dysfunction Page - 3

4. Pumps

 

Penis vacuum pumps get a good laugh in the Austin Powers films, but they happen to be quite effective at increasing blood flow to the penis and they're available over-the-counter at relatively low cost.

The process of pumping air out of the tube pulls blood into the erectile tissue. To stay erect after removing the tube, it's a good idea to slip a constriction ring over the base of the penis.

5. Constriction rings

 

"Cock rings" worn around the base of the penis can slow down the speed at which blood leaves the penis. While constriction rings won't increase blood flow into the penis, they can prolong an erection once one is achieved (using a vacuum pump, for instance).

Rings should not be used for more than 30 minutes and should be removed immediately if you experience cold, numbness, or pain in the genital area.
