How do you do Jelqing?
Exercise through jelqing normally starts with soaking in a warm bath or wrapping a wash cloth soaked in warm water around the penis. This will help start the process of blood flow and prepare the penis for the jelqing. After the penis is warm enough, the technique is applied to a semi-erect penis, never a fully erect penis. Additionally, it won’t work if the penis stays fully limp.
Lubricant is applied to the hands and the hands are clasped around the body of the penis and moved in a milking, stroking fashion towards to head to get the blood moving downward to the end of the organ. Normally, about 200 jelqing movements are down in the 15-30 minute timeframe. One thing to remember is that if you are doing the exercises and get the urge to ejaculate, then you should stop until the urge passes before continuing. Some people swear that after several months, a man’s penis can increase in size several inches.
Does jelqing really work?
Of course, men everywhere are wondering if this art of jelqing can actually work as well as the literature claims. Some practitioners of the art say that most men don’t seem to have the disciple to keep the exercises up for a long enough timeframe to see results. Some jelqing programs advocate anywhere from between eight minutes and an hour a day of the milking exercises, but the average suggestion is about 15-30 minutes at least once a day.
Doctors Have Studied the Process Of Jelqing
While in the past, doctors have regarded the art of jelqing with mixed thoughts, studies and tests have shown that it actually can bring some results, and that it actually can increase the size of penis vascular and smooth muscle tissue. These exercises stress the tissue and if done properly they will increase, but the man must also be very careful not to perform them incorrectly, or he could injure himself.
Several published medical studies have tested and done research on the technique and have proved that the way that it works is through making changes in the blood flow of the penis, which in turn caused the blood vessels in the organ to increase in size due to the pressure put on them during the procedure.
An important factor is to do the exercises correctly and not to overdo it. If it is done properly, proponents of jelqing say it enhances the penis and makes it healthier, as well as harder. Just like any other exercise program and routine, it’s best to work your way up to doing it every day, several minutes a day.
Here are some tips and hints to ensure that jelqinq is safe and effective and will help to give you the results that you desire:
Hints and Tips for More Effective Jelqing
- Proper warm up procedures are vital for best results. There are several methods, including a warm bath, a warm wash cloth or wrapping a warm heating pad around the penis for a few minutes. A hot shower is also effective. Just choose the method that appeals to you and use it faithfully every time before starting the jelqinq exercises.
- Lubrication is vital to ensure a smooth and comfortable exercise session. After the warming procedure, make sure to coat the penis with plenty of lubrication using a commercial lubricant product such as KY Jelly, baby oil or petroleum jelly.
- Make sure the level of your erection is somewhere in the middle. Just like Goldilocks and the three Bears, you don’t want if too soft, you don’t want it too hard, you want it just right. That means your penis should be about 50 to 75 percent erect during the jelqinq procedure. Remember! Doing a jelqing exercise on a fully erect penis is dangerous and should NOT be performed.

- Next, hold on to your penis with either hand using a thumb and first finger of the hand to make like an “OK” sign and use that shape of grip to hold on to the penis as close to your pubic bone as you can do so.
- Then, apply pressure and move your hand up almost to the head of the penis with light strokes so that it exercises the skin and muscles in the body length. This should only take a few seconds. Then, switch to your other hand and repeat the process, switching hands for each repetition. Do this about 150 to 200 times.
- One extra note: It is recommended by doctors and physicians that jelqing only be done by men who are at least 18 years of age because prior to that time, most males are not fully formed.
Safety is Vital
You should always do the jelqing exercises with safety in mind. In the beginning, you shouldn’t do it every day, as it may be too stressful for your penis. Just like any other exercise, you can injure yourself with over use. Plus, if the exercises are not done properly, you can accidently tear the skin on the penis or invoke some other form of damage such as bursting a blood vein in extreme cases.
However, as long as the procedure is done on a semi-erect member and is not done in a too aggressive fashion, jelqing is a useful and safe penis enlargement tool for most men.
Jelqing Devices
Most of the time men just do the jelqing exercises using merely their bare hands, but some advocate the use of special devices to make the exercise more efficient. Here are some of the choices for devices that may be used to add some enhancement to help make the jelqing experience stronger.
Penis Pumps/Stretchers Add to the Process
A penis pump is a device that can be used to help a man get a firmer and stronger erection. When it comes to using one to assist in jelqing exercises, a penis pump can help you to achieve the proper level of erection and can be used to help enlarge the penis through a combination of a pump, and the normal form of the jelqing method. Another device that can be added for good measure is the penis stretcher. These devices have been used clinically alone and together to add inches to the penis with proper usage.
Comparison Between Jelqing and Penis Enlargement Surgery
First and foremost, jelqing is a more natural, safer and less expensive method of penis enlargement than any form or penis enlargement surgery. Surgery, however, can definitely enlarge the penis by about an inch through cutting the ligaments that hold the penis in place and letting it descend. This is sometimes combined with some sort of weight or penis stretcher to ensure this ends up resulting in a permanent addition of length.
Side effects include that the man’s erection points more downward, can result in scar tissue and the base of the penis may be hairier, depending on the man. There may also be infection, bad reactions to the anesthesia and damage to the penis itself.
Another type of penis surgery is done by implanting fat from other parts of the body into the penis. The problem with this procedure is that the head itself can’t be transplanted with fat, so the visual appearance of the penis can be skewed and the skin may be lumpier since the fat cells may clump. Plus, it can cost upwards of $17,000.
In comparison, jelqing is natural, and if no additional devices are used, it is completely free and considered much safer as long as it is performed correctly. The results may take longer, but are proven medically to be efficient and can add more than an inch to a man’s penis. The process takes longer, but has been around for hundreds of years with proven success.
Conclusion
Sex is something that most of us enjoy and we all want to be able to enjoy it to the fullest and feel good about ourselves in the process. While men are used to hearing the phrase, “size doesn’t matter” and that it’s only how they “weld their tool,” there will always be those who still want a longer, harder and wider penis.
All in all, these men may want to consider jelqing as a way to get the size and results that they desire. If you are a man and considering penis enlargement methods, then this process should be weighed alongside any other you are considering and use this information to help you make your decision, along with a consultation with your doctor or physician.
