After erectile dysfunction was established as a very real condition, affecting millions of men, several alternatives of treatment are available for both patients and their partners to experiment with. From psychological to physical, therapy includes letting your couple in on what is going on, counseling, PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra online, Levitra, or Cialis, injections, different therapies, devices to achieve or maintain an erection, vascular and Peyronie’s disease surgery, hormone therapy and surgical penile implants. Because ED may be caused by several conditions there is no one single treatment that is certain to cure your condition. An interesting topic to discuss, however, is devices that help you achieve or maintain your erection.

Penile Bands (aka cock-rings or penis rings)

Penile bands are ring-like devices that are placed around the base of the penis to prevent vessel leakage. The contraption action the ring provides, helps keep the greatest amount of blood in the penis, providing the user with a strong erection. Penis rings require no prescription and are perfectly effective when used appropriately. Some penis rings even include vibrators that can enhance the sexual experience even further. Most penis rings with vibration devices are designed for clitoral stimulation.

Vacuum Erection Devices (aka vacuum constriction devices or penis pumps)

A vacuum erection device is an acrylic cylinder with a pump attached to the end of the penis. The constriction ring or band is placed on the other end of the cylinder. This side is in direct contact with the user’s body. The cylinder and pump are used to create a vacuum and help the penis become erect. The constriction ring is used to help keep the erection in place. A penis pump basically helps create a greater blood flow to the penis area and constricts the achieved blood flow using the ring mentioned before. That way you can keep your erection for a long period without invasive surgery or having chemicals into your body.

Surgical Implants. After having considered all the other options, you go for surgical implants. For this type of treatment there are two options: silicone rods and inflatable cylinders. Silicone rods are two pencil-like silicone rods that are surgically inserted inside the penis, above the urethra. With this short operation, your penis will remain permanently erect; however, you can point it down along the thigh for concealment under clothing.

Inflatable Cylinders. The other penile implant option is a set of two inflatable cylinders inserted in your corpora cavernosa. The cylinders are filled with saline fluid, pumped from a storage pocket placed in your abdomen or scrotum. This type of implant produces a more natural erection, yet is more prone to complications and infections.

Extreme situations make up for extreme measures. Perhaps you are not at a point in which you need such an invasive procedure, but a little information never hurt anybody. A penil implant could give you the opportunity to continue giving your girl the pleasure of your company.
