Base discomfort

I’ve been doing the newbie routine minus the stretching, and I’ve noticed a certain inner soreness/discomfort at the base on the right side of my unit. It sort of radiates up the shaft, as well.

I notice it more as my penis fills up with blood as I am getting an erection.

I do 10 minutes of jelqing 2 days 2 days off. And of course I use heat. I jelq with moderate intensity, and sort of modified the jelq over the last few months. I start the stroke by gripping at the base and holding for 2 seconds to see the expansion. Then continue the stroke to just before the glans for another 3 seconds. Re-grip and so on, and so on.

I do this because if I don’t secure a grip I see no expansion from the start of my stroke.

If anyone can tell me whether or not this discomfort I’m feeling is an indicator or me doing everything right, or too much, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks,

How long have you been at PE? I’m leaning a bit toward the feeling that you are increasing intensity too quickly, but I need to know more.

Yeah I would have to agree with Rushmore, you’re most likely using too much force. A little pain/discomfort every now and then is no biggie; maybe you should give yourself like 3-4 days of rest.

I’ve been doing my routine off and on for the last 5 months.

The discomfort is more apparent while I am obtaining an erection

Is there a vein or something there that seems to be hard, or harder than usual?

Yes, it seems to be the vein that runs vertically, meaning from upper top part of shaft, down to the underside of the penis.

It’s underneath a superficial vein that runs the same way too. Sort of like the superficial and non superficial dorsal vein, but it runs down the side vertically not horizontally like the dorsal.
