Can't keep semi during jelqing

Just tried my first time jelqing and couldn’t keep it at a decent erect size, not even 50%.

Happen to anyone else?

Yes, I have to constantly stroke it to keep it at a low erection level. You really don’t need much blood in there to properly jelq, especially since you are completely new to this. You may have poor circulation, low EQ, or just require more stimulation to keep it going. I am going to try taking l-citrulline to see if that improve my circulation at all. Try performing Kegels after each jelq and while one hand is going up the shaft, clamp the other hand around the base to keep the blood in the penis. Again, remember that you don’t need to be erect to jelq correctly, quite the opposite, in fact.

Another thing you can do is try to concentrate on what you are doing and visualize the blood engorging your penis as you jelq. Sounds strange, but it works for some. Whatever you do, be safe and stick with it. You will get the knack of it in no time.

Might not work for everyone, but I keep a semi-exciting movie (something I know will get me going but not enough to get me 100%) in the background that helps me engorge, or somewhere I can easily just look.

Then if I accidentally get pulled in and get 100% I just look away and ‘think calm thoughts’ and I’m good to go ;)

I do the same when I’m having trouble. I put on this free cam site were normal girls come on and do various degrees of things. I don’t know if it would be against forum rules to post it, so I won’t because there are some girls that do pornographic activities. It’s nice though because I feel like it doesn’t cause things like this:

I try to get about half hard before starting and then it usually stays up. I try to focus on how some hot sex scene in my head if it starts to go down, or on how hot my dick looks to someone now that it’s getting all engorged. That usually does the trick for me, unless I psyche myself out and think it may be *too* hard and then the fear of blowing a gasket makes it go down a lot hehe.

Kegels. I think that many members here don’t completely grasp the importance of kegels. A strong PC muscle will allow greater blood flow to the penis. Try exercising that PC muscle and you should get erections more easily as well as keep them longer.
