After a horrible accident and spinal-injury, nothing helped motorcyclist Barry recover the effective use of his erection.  So, his best mate John Oakes – a mechanical engineer -  created what would turn out to be the world’s most effective solution...

By Markus Therman

If you’re anything like me and occasionally struggle to get a rock-hard erection like you proudly remember from your 20s, then you’ll find this story incredible and inspiring.


You don’t have to fall off a motorbike and suffer partial paralysis from a spinal injury for this story to spark new-found hope as well.


You see, all the way back in 2004, an inventor named John Oakes had a friend who suffered just about the biggest indignity any man could imagine…


Not only was it bad enough his friend had suffered serious injuries – Including spinal damage and partial paralysis, almost losing his life…


But as the slow, painstaking day-by-day recovery process begun, it soon became embarrassingly apparent that poor John’s mate was continuing to suffer from horrible paralysis “down there”.


Every man’s worst, nightmare, if we’re being honest with ourselves, fellas.

In fact, to quote Mr Oakes from an interview:


“… He could no longer gain and maintain an erection. To try and help him, I looked at a range of conventional (products) on the market.


Some were quite good, but I was not totally convinced and, being a mechanical engineering designer, I decided there had to be a better means of delivering vacuum technology!”

No Other Solution Was Cutting It:


John’s poor friend had quickly run through just about every “easily available” option out there.


He’d seen absolutely no help from the artificial “little blue pills” (Good thing to, seeing how easily poor men can form a dangerous reliance on this oh-so-temporary “mask” or Band-Aid solution to the problem)…


It was also obvious to a trained mechanical engineer’s eye, that the air-based vacuum solutions on the market were POOR substitutes at best… And even dangerous at worst (Air creates uneven vacuums and they’ve been known to POP veins! Imagine explaining that to a nurse in the emergency room)


And of course, having already gone through so many life-saving surgeries and being sick of the sight of an operating room, there was absolutely no chance John’s friend was going to risk the $1,000s+ on penile surgery that “may or may not work” as a result…

With His Friend Feeling Stuck In A Helpless Situation, John Goes On To Reveal How He Found A Potential – But Promising – World-First Solution:


Having done a lot of work in the field of hydraulics over the years ,I began to look at the penis pump from a whole new angle.


The human penis is, after all, a hydraulically operated organ, so why not surround the penis with warm water and generate a hydro-vacuum, thereby working in harmony with the penis. Putting pencil to drawing board I came up with a few concept designs and over the next few years produced a few trial prototype samples.

Delight At Last! Man’s Biggest Fear CURED! And A Loving Marriage Saved!


Look guys, let’s be serious for a second:


Just about all of our biggest fears is that our “junk” stops working as it should.


As teenagers, we used to get embarrassed by the powerful morning-wood that we woke up to each day, pitching a tent in our sheets, praying no one barged into our bedroom and noticed.


And during our 20s and even our 30s, we simply took our erection health for granted.


We thought getting rock-hard on command, at something so simply as smelling the sexy perfume of our girlfriends or even a chick at the bar, would last forever.


And we never worried about losing our steel-pipe boners halfway through sex either. In fact, if you’re anything like me, you were just so happy to be in there with a woman, the last thing you would ever have thought about was losing your boner before you’d finished…

Mr Oakes continued his interview by saying:


“My friend was delighted with the results when he tested it. So, in effect, I invented the world’s first penis pump designed to be used specifically in water, creating a safe negative hydraulic pressure around the penis. There are many benefits to using warm water; the most obvious is increased blood flow to the penis due to the warm water hydraulics and slow negative pressure that the hydropump creates. This makes for great results and generally gives you a greater feeling of sexual wellbeing and confidence.


Another significant factor, the cornerstone of the success of the hydropump, is by using it during washing in the shower or bathtub it becomes part of your daily routine, making it convenient and fun to use.”

Meet The Bathmate Hydro Series


Since Mr John Oakes made the first prototype for his mate, the Bathmate has gone on to enjoy 25 years of existence and counting!


They’ve since invested over $2 million in research and development. 


There’s been well over 100 incremental changes and improvements thanks to the tireless work of 20+ engineers as well!


Plus, they’ve been helped by the input of 3 doctors and more than 1,000,000 incredibly satisfied customers worldwide!

But Wait! How Does This Ingenious Invention Actually Work? What’s The Science?


Glad you asked.


In fact, the product is manufactured with 3-way precision engineered, patent-protected water vacuum technology as Mr Oakes discussed above!


It is the only product of its kind world-wide that is both FDA registered and regulated AND approved by the ISO.


Basically, the Bathmate draws the most amount of fresh blood flow into your erection that your penis has ever experienced before. It takes no effort on your part, the water-pump does this automatically for you as you adjust it to the perfect, comfortable, and completely pain-free pressure that feels fantastic for you…


Next, your Bathmate’s patented water-based vacuum technology forces your penis to retain its longer and wider erection state – Again, entirely pain-free – For the whole time it is inside the pump. After you initially set it up, you then simply let it go, forget about it entirely, and let it “work its magic”. 


Finally, 20+ engineers and the comments from 3 doctors have helped design your Bathmate to work fast!  Around 10-15 minutes is how long most men typically keep the vacuumed pump on their erection for… And after you take it off, your visual length and girth gains are there to stay! You’ve typically got the next 1 to 2.5 hours to enjoy this swelled erection – The biggest you’ve ever seen your dick look before. Your sensitivity levels are through the roof as well!

    "I have tried alot of other products that say they well increase the size of your penis none of them work. I swore I would never waste my money on any thing saying that again. But I gave in and took a chance on a bathmate pump. The pump has held true to its promise of increase in length and in gireth. It's a good feeling to have your partner of 19 years to say for the first during sex "oh that is deep" and for to say she feels a big difference in the gireth also."

    "I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical when I first heard about the Bathmate. It sounded like one of those "too good to be true" gadgets. But after doing some research and seeing how many people had genuine results, I decided to give it a shot. I've now been using it consistently for about 4 months, and I can honestly say it's made a big difference , not just physically, but mentally as well."

    "Not just physical but mental as well........ is how I would describe what bathmate brings to the table.

    The mental or psychological health benefits come from feeling better about yourself. For me this happened as a result of being able to better satisfy my partner. I feel like an absolute sex-god because I can do this almost everytime. I then carry this feeling into the next day and became aware that I started to back myself doing tasks that I used to be apprehensive about. In equation form......

    Bathmate + regular use = confidence in many aspects of life."

    "I just enjoy using it for the feeling of finally having a transient erection (during the time of use). I think it does increase my sensitivity (for what that's worth), and gives me the comfort of knowing that, using some method, my tissues can still be expanded.

    That's about it."

    "The confidence that Bathmate has given me is something that money can't buy, in today's world there's not many secrets out there anyone can find out pretty much whatever they want with the click of a button (including the unrealistic expectations of pornography) so to know that I am able to "keep up" with what's out there is an incredible feeling that has diminished a lot of unnecessary concerns for me."
