Another Jelq question

I was reading the other thread about jelqing at 100% and am wondering why it is that we are not supposed to do so? Sometimes I find myself doing 1 or 2 strokes at 100% because focusing on jelqing makes me go down, and I get alot of 75% strokes on the way down. We masturbate at 100%, which applies pressure to the penis as well (just much quicker). How does jelqing differ btw? Maybe I’m confused about the basic principles of how jelqing manipulates the blood.

An aside, how hard should I be pressuring the penis? As hard as possible?

When you have a 100% erection, your penis is filled with blood to it’s natural point of expansion. When you jelq, you are taking the blood in the penis and applying pressure, that uses the blood to make a “man-made” expansion. With a 100% erection, it would be taking a lot of blood that is already there and trying to force a lot more blood into the same area. As a beginner, your penis is no where near conditioned enough to do that, (and never will be according to some PE theorists). Many advanced members will not even do them.

I hope this explanation makes sense. If not, you could try doing a search and you might find a better answer.

I would not start as hard as possible. Try starting with an intensity that you are comfortable with and increasing it every time you work out until you are either uncomfortable, or you are feeling a good workout. Then stay at that point, until you are no longer getting a good workout and repeat process.

I have the opposite problem. When I jelq I get harder, not softer. I usually start out at about 20% erection, and jelq up to maybe about 80-85%. Then I stop and wait until it goes back down before continuing.

I used to do jelqs at 100% erection before I figured out the proper way to do them. I ended up with what I believe to be a thrombosed vessel on the left side of my johnson(not sure if it was a vein or lymphatic vessel). Fortunately it went away after a couple of months with no PEing. Needless to say, I try not to ever jelq at a full erection because of that incident.

While everybody is different, I do feel some pressure in my schlong while jelqing. I believe you should feel at least some pressure while doing this exercise. This might help:

When my hand gets near the glans while jelqing, the glans gets bigger as I am pushing blood into it. In addition, I feel some resistance due to the presence of blood. But I don’t squeeze hard enough to the point that it completely halts my ability to jelq.

Jelqing at 40% or so erection may not feel as obvious as it does at full erection (due to the intense pressure a full erection causes), but believe me, they still work. Plus, you can do alot more of them.
