Do you use a lot of pressure when you masturbate

I think I do. I wonder how this affects or conditions the penis?

Would it make jelqing more difficult?

I have read to jelq at a similar pressure that one uses for self pleasuring.

I masturbate dry always. I use light pressure until the end where I am basically just holding it hard and shaking my hand. I know of some other guys who only like it dry and they have the same problem with chaffing. I basically don’t masturbate much anymore.

Some people think that too much pressure is bad, and there is a name for this especially if you do it lying face down: TMS see Beating TMS

I mean grip pressure, not internal pressure, or maybe they are related.

Ok so does masturbation “condition” the shaft at all? Like cause some kind of callous or something like that.

Doers anyone know what I mean?

I’ve decided to stop masturbating.

I don’t want to make my wang too used to extreme force applied to it.

I have a pet theory that this makes jelqing more difficult and (scary thought) maybe even impossible?

What do you guys think?

I feel like I can’t get expansion like I want.

Then again It’s been a year and I’m starting all this over again. I’m on my third jelq and stretch session and before that it’s been half a year or maybe a year.

I believe masturbation does effect the penis, since I’ve developed a curvature from it and very possibly weaker erections.

Ideally you should stop masturbating, but it’s difficult habit to break. Lately I have been mitigating it’s effects by climaxing hands-free (letting go just before orgasm and relying more on the PC/BC muscle to finish off), because I believe at that stage your grip causes the most “damage”.

You’ll notice with this technique your penis will recover much quicker after a masturbating session, but again ideally you should quit masturbating all together.

Do you think damage is reversible?

I have no idea, but I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be reversible. I wish I had the self-control to give up masturbating for a year and see what happens.

I bet I could give it up. I’m using less pressure these days. This is such a weird forum.
