According to some websites, the jelqing technique originated in the Middle East and was allegedly used by Arabic men to enlarge their penises to over 20 inches in length! It's unlikely that these stories are true and in fact, some people say that jelqing is a hoax.
Whatever the truth of the matter, jelqing seems to have become the most common term used to describe a range of penis stretching, milking, and massaging techniques that over time will enlarge the penis.
The jelq exercise will enlarge both girth and the length of the penis. The purpose of the jelq exercise is to force more blood into the corpora cavernosa (the spongy tissue that makes up the penis). This is achieved by using a "milking" technique on the penis.
This milking will expand and stretch the cell walls of the corpora cavernosa to allow larger quantities of blood to enter the penis. Jelqing will increase the size of both the flaccid and erect penis, but most markedly in the erect penis.
Jelqing exercises are like regular exercises and need to be carried out on a daily basis. Results from using the jelq can be seen in increases in penis size after only a month and more pronounced results can be seen in penis length and penis girth after several months.
Before You Start Jelqing
Measuring Your Penis
It's a good idea to keep a diary of your jelqing efforts. This should also contain measurements of your penis on a weekly basis. You can certainly measure and record your flaccid penis size but this can vary so the really important measurements to take are your erect measurements.
Record both your erect penis length and your erect penis girth. Different people recommend all sorts of different ways to measure your penis. It really doesn't matter how you do it AS LONG AS YOU DO IT CONSISTENTLY! That is, make sure you measure it the same way each week.
The Jelqing Warm Up
- Massage your penis until you are semi-tumescent (partial erection).
- In warm water, soak a washcloth.
- Wrap the washcloth around your penis for three minutes.
- Repeat the above warm-wrap another three times.
An alternative to the above jelqing warm-up is to simply massage and stroke your semi-erect penis in a warm bath.
The Jelq
- Put some lubricant (eg. baby oil) on both your hands and penis. Your penis should be semi-erect.
- With the thumb and forefinger of one hand, make an "Okay" sign around the base of your penis and grip it firmly.
- Now start a milking motion towards the end of your penis.
- When your milking hand reaches the head of your penis, form an "Okay" sign with your free hand and start milking as you did previously with the other hand. Do not milk the head of the penis.
- You should be able to use both hands to create a continuous milking action, alternating between hands.
Ideally, you should be able to complete 100 jelq strokes every five minutes. For the first week, only perform 100 jelq strokes each day. For the second week, perform 200 jelq strokes each day. For the third week, perform 300 jelq strokes each day. From the fourth week onwards, try and perform 500 jelq strokes each day.
Important Points For Safe Jelqing
- Consider a professionally designed program, such as Penis Enlargement Remedy, that offers support and coaching to ensure you jelq safely.
- Always do the warm-up exercises before commencing jelqing.
- Always use sufficient lubricant during jelqing.
- Don't squeeze too hard when using the jelq grip. If it hurts or you see bruising on your penis after jelqing then your jelq grip is too hard.
- Never jelq when you have a full erection (and don't ejaculate when jelqing). Jelq only when you have a semi-tumescent (rather than fully-erect) penis otherwise you may damage your penis.
- Always perform a "warm-down" (same as a warm-up) routine at the completion of your jelqing exercises.
