1 stretching question. 1 Jelqing question.

Hi guys,

A couple of weeks in now and everything feeling ok.
I just have a couple of questions if you’ll permit me.

1) Stretching - When stretching, I notice that the pubic skin (or fat pad skin?) pulls out along with my penis. This creates what I can only describe as a ‘tent’ effect. Like a tent of skin that pulls out and my penis then comes out from that. Is this something others have experienced? Could this be problematic?

2) Jelqing - Ok, things are feeling ok when jelqing now and I am finding it easier to maintain a consistent level of erection (around 60%). However, when performing the Jelqs trying to push the blood forward my penis does not expand as I imagine it should if I had forced blood into it. My grip is quite strong and I feel that if I gripped any tighter my hand would not be able to side at all but any looser grip and I would just be stroking my shaft. But as I say when actually performing the jelq my penis does not seem to expand at all. Can I overcome this? Is it vital to overcome this for growth?

Thanks in advance.

I didn’t take all my stats at the start but those I did were -
NBPEL - 6.75
MSEG - 5.00

I will get a full set of stats later which will have to count as my starting stats ( I doubt they have changed in 2 weeks anyway).

Sorry to bump, but does any have any advice/comments?

1) I personally have never experienced what you describe, are you sure you are gripping as close to behind the head as you can?

2) Jelqing takes time to get the feel for the exercise and for you to determine the appropriate level of pressure. I used to not get any expansion either, but I found that two things helped me overcome this. Firstly, try to focus your grip so the pressure is on the sides of your tunica rather than the top and bottom. I also found that in the past I was using way too much lotion/lube so was slipping up the shaft rather than forcing blood up it.

Hope this helps, nice starting stats btw.

I have the same problem when I stretch, but it only happens when I stretch forward, and I wanted to ask the same questions. Could this “tent effect” hinder our gains?

I wouldn’t have thought so, the only hindrance would maybe be more excess skin as more skin is being stretched than other people.
