I may not have spelled it right and I apologize for my ignorance. Could someone please explain what it is and what purpose it serves and a how to do it. I would love to know. I have seen it mentioned several times. Is it the same as edging. I am so sorry for my stupidity but I would love to know about it..everything and the more graphic picture you can explain the better. I feel I am missing out on something. Again I am sorry for my ignorance. I,d love to hear your thoughts and its ok to laigh at me.
Thank you and I amd sorry to bother you guys with what it most likely a question to make most of you think "what an idiot"
Thank you for any responses if you have any.

Seeking,

I'll let someone more experienced with jelqing answer your question, but I can assure you there are no stupid or inappropriate questions on this site. In the meantime, google "jelqing" for a basic overview.

It's basically a "penis enlargement" exercise. It appears to work to some extent for many men. The main benefit in my opinion of jelqing is that it helps stimulate better blood flow in the penis by forcing blood to move under more than normal physiological pressure. This appears to "expand" the blood vessels in the penis, opening them up if they have become constricted. Similar to how a "stint" in the heart would open up a clogged artery. Whether jelquing causes actual "growth" in the penis is anecdotal from what I have seen with my own experience. Is it working similarly to penis pills...merely causing improved blood flow and as a result a "percieved" increase in size? Growth insinuates that new tissue has been formed, or that tissue has been expanded to allow more blood volume to fill the penis. As there have been no actual medical studies to validate jelqing, the jury is out per se.

I discovered jelqing exercises shortly after my RRP surgery 4 1/2 years ago, and I started doing it daily for about 15 minutes in order to force blood into the erectile tissue, which helps to maintain a healthy penis. I have replaced jelqing therapy for the past year with Prelude therapy, which seems to be more effective. My erect length (pumped) has not changed: still at 6 inches, but I think my normal flaccid length has increased somewhat. I now normally hang right at 4 inches, which appears longer than before although I couldn't prove it because I never actually measured flaccid length before. One thing I am sure of is that I have stretched the skin in doing all this theraphy, and now have almost an uncircumcised look, with skin covering about half or 3/4s of the head. I'm kind of enjoying this new look, because I've been circumcised all my life.

I have been jelqing for about 6 months. I joined pegym. I'm also doing the kegel exercises. I don't get an erection from jelqing since I have ED but what I have noticed is that my penis hangs the length it used to, which was quite long, before I got ED but it seemed to atrophy during the time that I've had ED. The jelqing has brought back my flaccid length and I have noticed that some of the veins are starting to reappear. It could be my imagination but my penis seems to have a little more "life" in it. When I do the kegels it seems to respond by expanding a bit if only while I'm doing the kegels. I try jacking from time to time but I'm still not able to get erect. I can report some progress as I just stated.

Hi Scott, Look if you really want to this to gain some size, this is the way to go, you will need to be half hard to them, but because you will be consentrating on what you are doing then you should not get a full hard on, because your be going through a routeen of streching and jelqing, then I think you will be OK to give it a go, but you need to try it before you condemn yourself, all you need is somebaby oil and away you go.
Good luck NOHARD

Since I developed a slight bruise on my glans I have taken a break from pumping. In its place, i have started a stretching and jelqing routine. I take 10 mg of daily Cialis and sometimes 5 grams of l-arginine which helps generate a chubby which I can improve to a full erection with the aid of an Osbon tension band.

However, this morning after 30 plus minutes of stretching and jelqing, I was able to generate a 75% erection. It may have been capable of penetration; however, I did not have enough confidence in its staying power to try it out so I injected Trimix to be sure it was hard enough to deliver pleasure.

It seems jelqing helps to some extent. I will provide future updates.

My observations have been similar to malehanger and Alan46 above.

The main benefit of jelqing for me is that it helps stimulate better blood flow in my penis. I frequently have erections now in the mornings and my penis stays erect longer when I take my alprostadil injections. My erect penis length has only increased from about 5.5" to 6". Even though I feel much better with the longer look, the most gratifying experiences are a harder penis and a much tighter fit inside my wife. I'm unsure how much my girth has increased but the wife definitle notices the difference. We now must use a lot more 'personal lube' to get my penis to fully enter.
