These vacuum erection devices are serious pieces of kit

The articles admits that vacuum devices can be a slightly
embarrasing option for those who suffer from erectile dysfunction but, in
almost every case, they are a cheap and effective way of producing an erection
on demand and without side effects.

In some entertainment
shows on TV and in the cinema, vacuum tubes are sometimes introduced as a joke
at the expense of one of the men. In one sense, this use of embarrassment is
one of the usual examples of humour of the unkind, but we can never deny the
recognition factor. Almost every adult in the audience seeing the image would
understand the function. These devices have entered the public consciousness.

The article describes the three medications used for the
relief of erectile dysfunction that are delivered by penile injection. Only
one, prostaglandin E1, has FDA approval but all three are available for on- or
off-label use.
