Question: Erect Jelqing

[Boxxxer]

I'd been doing erect jelqs for 2 months before finding and reading that that could be harmful to your penis. I have not, as of yet, and any pain or problems. But to be on the safe side, i decided to start doing my jelqs at 45-75% erect strength. Athough i know its safer, i dont get the same feeling that i've accomplished something, nor the same streched feeling, redish color, or hang as with my erect jelqs.

I would do erect jelqs for around 5-10min, with 15min warmup and stretches beforehand
I'm now doing semi erect jelqs for half an hour and seem to get less results

I'm i REALLY getting less results from doing this? I don't really want to test because if I AM damaging my penis, i dont want to start the erect jelqs again, or waste my time with these semi-erect jelqs.

So, in even simpler terms, should I...

a) Switch back to erect jelqs
b) Stay with semierect and hope positive signs return

Your thoughts are appreciated, thanks.

Give yourself more time with the less erect jelqing. I and many, many others have made great gains jelqing at 30% to 50% erect.

Box, when you switched to lower erection level jelqs, did you increase your grip tightness? I jelq at all erection levels, and I vary how tight I grip on the level I am at at the time. Technique in this is just like everything else, it is everything. Slow, concentrated jelqs is where it's at. Definitely try for five second jelqs. If you lift at all, you know the difference between rushing through sets as opposed to when you lift and really feel what is happening for the particular muscle group you are working on. V-jelqs will work your cc and glans exceptionally well, and if you make sure to have your pointing finger ride up your cs, regular jelqs will work it incredibly well. I have posted this before, if your touch your glans as your jelqing hand approaches it, and it is rock hard, you are getting max benefit. However, if your glans is soft to the touch as you approach it, you need to make adjustments to your technique. I do three sets of 50 each of v-jelqs and regular jelqs (I prefer to jelq downward on regular jelqs), for a total of 300. I throw in a few horse squeezes while doing the regulars. When my unit is under 60% erect, I concentrate on the jelq, while also pulling my unit fairly hard. When I am over 75% erect I concentrate on the jelq only. Different erection levels feel different as you jelq, but they all contribute to your overall girth if done properly.

Great advice, rbi99!!

I get better results with erect jelquing. I don't do it 100% hard though, because the shaft is so hard, that no matter how tight I do the grip, my hand just slides like if it was around a metal tube. So usually do them at 85-90%

Apologies for my ignorance but what is a 'cs'?

If "v" jelqs actually work i am not doing them correctly or with enough pressure. It sort of feels like a new masturbation grip and gets me hard rather than pushing blood anywhere..... What should it feel like?

Do you Jelq downward because of the 'Loss Of Tug' thing?

ARe horse squeezes those advance things where you hold your stiffy for 30 seconds and watch all of your vains expand? (I am too scared to hold that for more than 8 seconds fearing my blood vessels and vains explode like a waterballoon). And does it actually work?

Bet these questions are asked too many times.

Gotta Go.

CS stands for corpus spongiosum.
CC stands for corpus cavernosum.

Lube up real good to start, and keep your shaft lubed. Make sure you slide your unit in between your middle finger and the finger next to your thumb. Cup your hand and get the webbing between those two fingers down deep into your base. Squeeze those fingers together and begin jelqing. Since you are only using the strength of your fingers, I am not sure if you can apply too much pressure. V-jelqs hit your cc's much better than regular jelqs do, and that is what you should be concentrating on when doing v's. When doing regulars jelqs, make sure your grip is such that your pointing finger rests on you cs. Force the blood through your cs while jelqing toward your glans. As I am sort of thick, if I am erect at all, I have to maneuver by grip around in order to get my finger onto my cs.

That is what horse squeezes are, but I only hold it for perhaps 10 seconds. I do a couple while doing my regular jelqs.

I jelq downward on regular jelqs simply because I have less skin pull that way. Also, when I am below 60% erection level, I feeling I produce better pulling strength to help a little bit with length gains.
