Grip problems continuing. Please help

I realize that this is becoming something of a running joke: the Oliveoyl overhand grip sideshow. But I desperately want to sort my problem out.

I’ve pretty much nailed the standard underhand OK grip. I had been doing it wrong, originally not realizing that the webbing between thumb and index finger is supposed to go as underneath the dick as you can (sensibly) get it (so a little bit diagonal). But now I think I’ve sorted that one out, such that I can apply relatively good pressure to the sides of the cock.

Step in the damn overhand grip! Now, I don’t think what I’m saying here has made much sense to anybody who’s read me thus far, but please hear me out: if I attempt to do this exercise as shown in the video, i.e. by turning the hand around so that the pinky is furthest from the body, I just cannot get any sort of good pressure and the erection subsides VERY quickly. I panic, and have to start stroking again in order to ensure a suitable erection level. Then I play it safe, and jump back into the standard grip.

I just can’t see how the overhand grip with hand turned around is going to work. I’m sure there are many suggestions and I’m curious to hear them all.

But here’s one specific thing I’d like to ask: how about doing the overhand grip but with the hand NOT turned around? To just be absolutely clear as to what I mean here: imagine you are doing an overhand grip with the right hand, pinching between your thumb and index finger but with your thumb on the left side of your index finger (looking down). Is this a possible way to do the overhand grip? If it is, then I can do this without problem.

Help really appreciated.

I suggest you take the hand of choice, place the palm of it over your fat pad and pinch the sides Of your dick that way. You can get very deep with the pinch grip and it’s not technical at all. The pinch grip is also great because it lowers the risk of urethral injury from pressure in the cs.

With that being said, there really is no “ststandard” or “correct” way to jelq. Pe is all about finding out what works for you. Hope this helps.

I see. So it is possible after all to do the overhand pinch grip with the palm facing the body.

Out of curiosity, why is it that the videos and most instructional materials on the ‘overhand’ seem to suggest the palm facing away (the version I struggle with)? What are the possible advantages of the palm facing away? Is it that you can start even closer to the fat pad?

Using the overhand grip as you suggest in the previous post, what is a decent ratio of overhand to standard grip work in a newbie jelq session?

Yes it can be done! I think you are correct that it allows you to get deeper into the fat pad.

I only jelq one way and that is it. I alternate hands.
