My understanding of edging is repeatedly stimulating yourself during masturbation to the point of no return without going over. At the PONR, when you intentionally go there, the bulbospongiosus and ichiocavernosus muscles clamp down on the inner parts of the corpus spongiosum and corpora cavernosa respectively. This adds hardness to your erection and gives the tunica a little more expansion. Some think doing this over and over is as good as proven PE exercises like jelqing. I don’t.
Ballooning, as I understand it, is stimulating yourself to the PONR then stopping stimulation of the parts that really get you going, but continuing to rub yourself in other places. Most often this is the pubic area or the underside of the glans. This supposedly give you a continuous harder hard-on which is supposed to expand the tissues resulting in growth. Again, I don’t agree.
In order for growth to occur you have to put more than the normal maximum pressure on the tunica. If you just stimulate yourself to the maximum it won’t create any more pressure on the tunica than you’d get at ejaculation. Even continuous or repeatedly reaching this point still wouldn’t put more than the normal maximum pressure on the tissues. The only way to go beyond the normal maximum is to force blood against the tunica mechanically using your fingers (or something like the jelk device).
Also, in spite of all the claims, no one has offered any proof (preferably photographic) that they’ve gains from ballooning or edging alone. I suspect any gains these gentlemen attained were from other PE methods done at the same time.
Ballooning with jelqing wouldn’t really be possible. To balloon you have to be 100% erect. Jelqing at full erection does not leave room for the pressure to build with each stroke. You only compress an already full tunica, which can lead to injury. The recommended 50-70% erection needed for jelqing wouldn’t lend itself to ballooning or edging because they both require a full-on erection.
I wouldn’t consider near flaccid jelqing masturbation either. I’d call it a strange form of stretching. You can’t call it a jelq if you aren’t moving enough blood to build up the required pressure to expand the tunica beyond its normal maximum.
