I just had a question. I read the theory behind the jelq is that it causes the cells in the penis to stretch a little beyond the size they normally are when erect. That statement makes sense on how it would cause the penis to grow, but i'm just not sure if the jelq is really doing that, or I should say I am just having a hard time seeing it. When I jelq I do see an expanision in the glans from the blood, but it doesn't seem like my penis is bigger while jelqing than when I have an erection. It makes more sense to me that exercises like the sqeeze would work because that seems to be making the penis swell beyond it's normal erection size. Maybe the jelq is doing more on the inside than I appear to see on the outside. I dunno. Just figured I would put my two cents in.

Regular jelqs do a lot more than what seems to be taking place to the naked eye. The improvements to EQ and general penile fitness/health that jelquing provides (assuming you're taking the time to learn proper jelqing technique) are by all means remarkable. Once you're well conditioned (well past your newbie period), then you start adding the more advanced stuff like Ulis and such. Now, keep in mind that it's really easy to get carried away and overdo it when we get trapped in the excitement of seeing our penis swell beyond their usual size during a PE session. I can tell you from experience that it's VERY easy to overdo it because, when done properly and safely, it feels unbelievably pleasant to squeeze your penis to such levels. Also, the feeling of stroking your bigger-than-usual penis in between sets of squeezes is quite amazing, which can push you to do way more sets than you should and end up in overtraining mode for a couple of days.
Well, my logics on the mechanics of jelqing is as follows:
First of all, when fully erect, a penis is nearing it's largest expansion of the tunica or whatever is defining and limiting it's maximum size.
Even if a full erection does not equal a 100% of the penis size, it is very close to it, and thus it becomes difficult to see any increase in size when more blood is pushed in.
What is important (IMHO) is the following:
When fully erect, there is a healthy pressure inside the penis, all blood vessels are within their healthy and natural pressure limits.
By jelqing, we increase that pressure and bring it close to critical (hence red spots). The penis is gradually adapting to this "hostile environment" by expanding it's cavities to hold more blood and thus lower the pressure inside. If we pass the critical pressure limit, some damage occurs...burst capillaries, red dots or any other jelqing injury.
The growth process is rather slow, as we all witness, but we can't accelerate it without injuring ourselves. At least not by increasing pressure over the limits (overtraining).
So my understanding of effective jelqing is in keeping the penis pressure above "nominal", relatively close to "critical" and never over the "critical" level.

I have noticed better EQ and my erect penis does seem to stand up more versus pointing down which is cool. I just not have any real gains yet. As for me, I do not feel the JP routine is to intense because I do not have any negative PI's. I did the routine out the book for a bout a month, then I started the JP routine and I have been on it for a month. It is hard not to try some more advanced exercises. I believe I am gonna add flaccid bends as radiohead said. But I think I should stick with a high number of jelqs also as long as I am not having bad PI's.
i understand wat u mean by not visualising the penis expanding, a way you can change that is to jelq at a higher erection level, just use a lite grip tho
