Jelqing (also known as milking) is an exercise designed to force large amounts of blood through the penis, increasing the internal pressure and creating controlled damage or micro-tears in the structure of the penis. This damage will be mostly repaired overnight but overworking or not taking rest days will reduce efficacy. The effects can be to increase length or girth or a combination of the two.
The exercise consists of applying an OK style thumb and forefinger grip encircling the base of the lubricated partially erect penis, restricting blood flow, and pulling this grip forward toward the glands. Once one hand has reached the glands the same grip and motion is applied with the second hand. This process is repeated for anumber of strokes in a continuous milking motion. Each stroke should take no less than three seconds.
It is important that jelqing is proceeded with and followed by a warm wrap to relax the tissues and minimize chances of injury.
Step By Step Jelqing
Apply OK grip at base with first hand
stroke forward toward the glands
Apply OK grip with second hand and release first hand
stroke forward toward the glands
Apply OK grip at base with first hand and release second hand
Repeat from 2 to 5
Initially your penis will need to become accustomed to the pressure levels and so you should aim to build the intensity and duration of the exercise over time. This will allow for the blood supply to the penis to develop and the tissues to become used to the exercise.
Erection Level
The level of erection is important. If you Jelq with too low an erection level or allow your erection to subside for too long before correction, the pressure during the progression of each stroke will vary greatly. The start of the stroke will be low pressure and the end of the stroke will be a much higher pressure. This will encourage more girth development toward the glands and eventually result in a baseball bat shape developing.
The minimum erection level you should allow is 40%-50%. Generally it is the greater the erection, the more effect on girth. Likewise, the lower the erection, the more effect on length. That said, some gain length easily and others only find girth increases. Jelqing with erections higher than 80% should be avoided initially.
Grip
The grip can be applied in many ways. However it is applied, there are some important common factors.
Grip Factors
Strength – Matching strength and diameter of the grip to erection level to avoid changing pressure as a stroke progresses.
Consistency – The grip should be consistent throughout the stroke. It is easy to subconsciously increase or rotate the grip part way through a stroke.
Starting at the base – The grip should be attached as low down as possible
The standard OK grip can be applied in two ways, palms up (a standard OK) and palms down (an overhand OK). Though the grip is generally referred to as an OK grip there is no requirement for the forefinger and thumb to meet, what is important is that it traps blood effectively. To that end if it works to grip the end of the forefinger with the thumb or to use thumb and forefinger in a U shaped grip it is important to proceed with what works best. A U shaped (pinch grip) applied vertically will tend to work the corpora carvenosa (CC) most, encouraging girth gains.
If there is no intention to attempt bend correction the grip should be applied straight. If gentle work to help correct a bend is required then the grip can be applied diagonally with the leading edge of the grip on the inside of the bend. Do not expect dramatic correction, this is a gradual and limited process.
The effects of jelqing are a combination of stretching and internal pressure. If stretching and length are important application of a grip that less effectively traps blood but is stronger is sensible. This can be achieved with rotation of the grip at the point of application. Also if the first grip becomes a short stretch at the glands whilst the second grip is applied this is likely to have positive length effects.
Care should be taken to avoid damaging the dorsal nerve which runs along the top of the penis in the middle. There is a particularly sensitive nerve bundle in the top middle of the penis just below the glands and this should be avoided, either by terminating the stroke an inch before the glands or avoiding the area with a grip biased to sideways pressure. An overhand OK, locating the webbing between thumb and forefinger centrally is likely to be least likely to cause nerve damage and can fairly safely allow the stroke to be continued all the way to the glands.
To ensure that the entire penis is worked out thoroughly the grip should be varied during the course of a session. Mixing up overhand and standard OK grips and changing rotation of the grip at the point of application is a good habit to gain.
Its best to work up to full intensity. Even with a good warm wrap, a lot of spotting can be avoided by applying a low intensity grip initially and building it up during the first minute or so.
Angle and Position
An upward angle (penis pointing up toward the ceiling) will put most of the stretching gain into the tunica which is harder to stretch than the ligaments, so it can be used to try and minimize length gains (in combination with high level erections). An upward angle is associated with a standard OK grip. It is harder to grip close to the base using this angle.
A downward angle (penis pointing toward the floor) will place more strain on the ligaments. Its’ generally associated with an overhand OK grip and many people find it easier to both achieve a grip nearer the base and a greater pump effect from each stroke.
With a standard OK, stroking with the right hand whilst pulling the shaft to the left, and with the left hand pulling to the right, will apply stretch to the ligaments on one side at a time benefiting length. Pulling in the same direction as the hand in use with an overhand OK will have similar effects.
Some find that jelqing whilst standing increases the initial pressure of blood in the penis and thus the effectiveness. Similarly jelqing in a sitting position with the legs raised above the level of the penis should help. This will also encourage a slumped back which will allow easier access to the base of the penis and increase the downward angle when jelqing down.
Stroke
The speed of each stroke is extremely important. Stroke times of less than 3 seconds should be avoided. It is very easy to start at a good rate but increase to masturbation speeds if concentration is lost. Timing the stroke rate (either by counting ( one – one thousand, two – one thousand, three – one thousand) or with a watch or metronome is a good way to ensure that the speed is constant.
It is possible to increase the strength of the grip without encouraging a ramping of pressure during the stroke by lengthening the stroke time.
To encourage length gains many people end each stroke in a short light stretch (often unconsciously), very similar to a JAI stretch.
Dry Jelqing
Dry Jelqing is a single handed method using the skin covering the shaft to allow movement of the grip. Using this technique is harder on the shaft of the penis, under the skin, so switching to this method from lubed jelqing should be done with care but many find it has a greater effect deep inside the penis. With this method the grip never leaves the skin but is simply released slightly to allow downward movement. Using a held kegel as the grip is moved to the base helps to keep the level of engorgement high but this should be used with care by those new to the exercise.
If circumcised it is normally impossible to jelq the entire shaft in a single stroke. Jelqing the shaft in two stages is necessary. With a tight circumcision cut, this variation is hard and the skin will have to stretch ahead of shaft growth.
If uncircumcised it is often possible to jelq the entire shaft by starting a stroke with the foreskin fully retracted. Generally this method will cause insignificant foreskin swelling in comparison to lubed jelqing.
Uncircumcised Jelqing
The foreskin is an extra complication in the jelqing process. It can simply be ignored and allowed to collect over the glands. This method tends to increase fluid build up in the foreskin and can, in the extreme, cause minor pain. The swelling may take some time to subside but can be a considered a minor side effect. This method will exert most force for skin stretch on the skin near the base of the penis, potentially causing a turkey neck effect.
The alternative is to retract the foreskin at the start of every stroke. This can take a little time to master. It can be achieved in two ways, either by fully releasing the hand at the glands before applying a new grip at the base or by releasing the first hand only enough to allow the skin to retract under the grip. Either way the new grip should be applied slightly up the shaft.
If lubricated jelqing is difficult, dry jelqing is a good alternative.
Stretched Jelqing
This method requires the constant use of two hands. With the first hand grip behind the gland and exert a light stretch. With the second hand apply a grip at the base and stroke forward in the standard manner. Once the second hand meets the first hand at the glands, release its grip and return the second hand to the base, while relaxing the stretch. Repeat this and occasionally change hands.
The grip behind the gland is important and its strength will add control to the pump in the shaft. Useful grips are the overhand OK, the U shaped grip or an index finger/middle finger grip. In all cases the pressure should be mostly on the sides.
This technique can be performed dry or with lube. With proper timing it can have a JAI quality.
When using a U shaped pinch grip, this technique is often referred to as a Pinch Jelq.
