Never jelq while erect

I was known as “poople” here before and I injured myself from erect jelqing almost 2 years ago and made a thread on here about it almost 2 years ago. I decided I’d give an update.

I don’t want anyone to make the same mistake as me. This forum warns against fully erect jelqing saying you’re more likely to injure yourself, but I don’t think that’s a good enough warning. A lot of the responses to injuries here are just like “Take a break and start again in a week or 2 and you’ll be fine” So when I decided I was going to try fully erect jelqing once I thought that even if I did injure myself it wouldn’t be that big a deal and it would heal in a week or 2 and be fine. I never would have tried fully erect jelqing if I knew there was a possibility of long-term/permanent injury.
I wasn’t aggressive when I jelqed while erect and I didn’t do it for very long, and I stopped right when I started to feel some pain. Now it’s almost been 2 years and my penis is still messed up. It’s a bit better, but barely. I haven’t noticed very much progress in my injury healing over almost 2 years, but there has been some progress, so there is still hope.

I’m making this to warn new people from making the same mistake as me. It doesn’t seem like rubbing your fingers up your penis can do much damage, but it can, and I didn’t realize this till the damage was already done. All the blood draining veins are on the outside of the penis and the arteries that fill the penis with blood are on the inside, so when jelqing while erect you are blocking blood from leaving your penis while forcing more blood into your penis, and it builds up so much pressure in your penis that it can start to tear it apart from the inside. It also destroys the valves in your veins that prevent blood from flowing the wrong direction, because when you jelq, the blood that is trying to leave through your veins is being forced against the valves in the wrong direction and that damages the valves. I think this is what leads to people having difficulty maintaining erections when they are standing or in missionary position, because gravity starts pushing the blood down the wrong way through the veins of the penis and the damaged valves can’t stop it from happening, so it causes the erection to fade away because of the messed up bloodflow.

I’m not looking for an argument, I just want to warn people of the possibilities so they don’t make my mistake. Although I know it’s kind of pointless, because they probably won’t see this until after they injure themselves. I think the owners should definitely make these possible risks more obvious to new people coming on to the site. I mostly blame myself for the situation I’m in, but I came here eager to start and I quickly read a few things and started, like I’m sure a lot of beginners do. Just a simple straightforward warning about the specific possible risks of jelqing would’ve prevented the last couple years of my life from being destroyed. Using broad terms like “higher risk of injury” isn’t going to stop a lot of new people from doing it, because they don’t know the severity of the possible injury.

Sorry bud and thanks for the warning. One thing i love about this site is the way we look out for eachother.

I’m sincerely sorry about your injury and hope that you will recover completely as soon as possible, but talking from someone who has a very (unfortunately) sensitive unit, I don’t think that erect jelqing can cause ED at all.

I’ve done all sort of 100% erect jelqing with also manual squeeze and such and everything I got was fatigue hard flaccid for a month.

Maybe you did something which was a bit extreme like bending or such.

Thanks for the good wishes, but just because it didn’t hurt you in your experience doesn’t mean it’s safe and that it doesn’t cause ED. I was firm but really careful with my penis when I was jelqing fully erect. I didn’t bend it or anything crazy like that. It felt good until out of no where I felt a sharp burning sensation throughout my penis and I stopped and the pain went away almost immediately. But there was definitely some serious tissue damage in my penis in multiple places, and there still is. Some of it has healed and some of it hasn’t. This isn’t so much about ED as it is about tissue damage. Although I can’t maintain erections while standing anymore, and my erections aren’t as good as they used to be, I can still get them though. I consider that ED. My main concern is the damaged tissue right now. It’s uncomfortable and slightly painful to rub one side of my penis because of the injury there.
I had painful damaged tissue on my glans that took like a year to heal, and now I think this other injury has something to do with my Tunica albuginea, like it’s a small tear on it or a bruise on it or something. I don’t know if minor penile fractures are a thing, but I think that’s what I have. And from what I’ve read, the Tunica albuginea doesn’t heal. I don’t really know though. I just know it’s been 2 years and my dick is still damaged from erect jelqing.

I think it’s more likely that it damages everyone’s vein valves, but the temporary increased more powerful inflow of blood into the penis from jelqing makes it unnoticeable because the increased flow forces the blood against gravity through the veins the way it’s supposed to go without needing to rely on the vein valves. And the ED affects people who stop jelqing before increasing their inflow of blood or people who just have weaker blood inflow into the penis could experience this. It seems kinda ridiculous that there is just some mysterious predisposition in some peoples veins that is brought out by jelqing. I’m sure if a lot of jelqers stopped jelqing for a month or two, they would notice their EQ drastically decline because of the damage they’ve done to their veins. That would also be some useful information to know before you try jelqing just incase you don’t want have to commit to jelqing for the rest of your life to get good erections. I could be wrong about this, but this seems to make way more sense to me.

And that is just a side-note on my main point of why erect jelqing is bad. That thread doesn’t address the tissue damage erect jelqing can cause to a penis, and that thread isn’t in plain enough view for new people coming to the site.

Poople’s old Threads if anyone wants to read:

Jelqing injury Can’t get erection

Jelqing injury Hard flaccid recovery

Hopefully there’s no need to repeat the whole story again in a new thread. :)

ChukaChicken there are plenty of people like me that stop jelqing even more than few months and notice barely any difference in EQ compared to jelqing days.

Sorry to hear about your injury. Have you seen a doctor about it? Cause it sounds like you’re going off what you’ve found online. Have you tried heating it several times a day or tried some essential oils which help heal tissue/stop inflamtion and promote healing?

This is just going round in the same old circles as before, you’ve made your point, posted your warning, thread closed.
