The sexual revolution brought a more acceptance of sex toys along with different ways of thinking about sex and sexual exploration. Advancements in technology allowed manufacturers to make things cheaper and increase their usefulness.
1960 – 2000
For the next 40 years the penis pump did not change. It was a cylinder with some type of pumping mechanism.
The 2000’s
At some point after the turn of the century and into the 2000’s penis pumps become a little more advanced.
