Force of pressure during jelq

When you help using the ok trip. Do you focus pressure on the top and bottom of you penis of sides?

Sides. Don’t put much pressure on the top because of the dorsal nerve.

Grip: Kingpole always says “keep it in the pleasure zone.”. So use more or less your masturbation grip.

So, my masturbation grip is very different from what I read or watched on this site, typically use all my fingers and even my the palm of my hand. When I try to use an overhand OK grip, my thumb is usually applying pressure at the bottom of my penis and my index finger is riding on top. I seem to not be able to apply enough pressure to the sides (fingers not strong enough I guess). Does this grip I described work?

Wow I used to do it with top and bottom , I really need a girth,

Maybe using the grip on sides of penis will help me more with girth ?! Thanks

U or V grip is good too. Those concentrate on the sides. Think of the claw on a hammer. V grip is underhand, U grip is over hand.

In my humble opinion the guy in the thunders video series is

- too damn hard.
- gripping too hard.

Haha masturbation grip? Oh boy, I definitely use a lot more pressure than that.

When sta-kool writes ‘masturbation grip’, he (or kingpole, rather) means that you should use the same amount of force as you would when masturbating, not the actual grip (although I suspect that kingpole jelqs at a very high erection level which does require a softer grip than you’d use at, say, 70%).
Using pressure on the top and bottom of the shaft is not only more dangerous, it’s probably also a lot less efficient (you’d mostly just be pushing blood around in your CS).

I don’t see why you can’t get pressure on the sides - just turn you hand 90 degrees from what you’re currently doing. The fleshy part of your hand between your index finger and thumb should be on the top of your shaft during the motion (almost just barely touching it). You’ll be squeezing with your thumb and the inside of the first (counting from your hand) joint of your index finger.

If i did that to my dick, i would probably never have a erection again. He’s jelqing really hard..

Thanks for clarifying, Serenity73. Yes, KP meant the amount of pressure.

I had no idea you had to put pressure on the side only. Now I know.

Thanks!

Since I have started I have been curious about the “correct” amount of pressure to use while jelqing. I have tried it everywhere from flaccid to 90% erect, and find that I like to do it at about 50%. I however use more pressure than I would when masturbating. I feel that if a masturbation grip was fine, then masturbating would make your dick bigger. I don’t squeeze as hard as I can, but I make sure to squeeze hard enough for my ok grip to have nearly the same effect as a cock ring.

Who knows though, I may be doing too much. But really, by watching videos, you can only guess and try to find what works best for you compared to what works best for the guy in front of the camera.

All of us guys can jelq ourselves silly, but what’s important is our gains and that we are doing it right.Just started mine last week and still waiting to see the results.

Thanks very much Serenity for the advice, I will try turning 90 degrees and see how it goes. I Jelq the way I described only because it feels comfortable, no other reason.

So your palm should be above your penis, basically (upside down you grip)?

That would be an overhand grip. Makes it easy to jelq downward and straight out. This grip lends itself to keeping pressure off of the dorsal nerve, and it’s fairly easy to go light on the CS as well. I find my CS tolerates much less pressure than the CCs do.
