Head Swelling Sign of a "Good" Jelq

Okay.

I’ve DEFINITELY had some positive EQ signs .. Like hard as a freakin’ rock ..

But I’m still not sure exactly what I should be looking for on a “good” jelq.

I certainly can’t visually observe any extra blood flowing through my dick, so I’m hard pressed to know which jelq (grip, pressure, etc) is effective and which is not.

I HAVE been using my thumb and pointer of one hand to gently (but firmly) grip the tip of the head of my dick as I jelq .. And when I feel I am doing a jelq with adequate grip and pressure I can definitely feel the head of my penis expand between my fingers.

I’ve not seen any posts on this before, but would swelling in the head of my dick as I do a jelq be considered a good indicator that I am sending bloodflow through to engorge this fucker and get it to grow?

Just curious.

Also, regarding erection level for jelqing, I’m curious for the reason for the 70-90%-ish figures I’ve seen thrown around.
Best I can figure out from my limited experience so far is that if you are 100% rock hard it really isn’t very easy to squeeze much of anything, much less get extra blood going in .. If you are around 70-85% hard and you get a good jelq going, it seems to MAKE you 100%+ hard ..

Sometimes when I am using my power-jelq device I stop because I am like, “WHOA” I am HARD .. But then when I release the tongs, I realize I’m really SEMI at best .. Like 70% hard .. But when you jelq that mother it puts that extra blood in and makes it REAL hard ..

Is this sounding familiar to anyone with good gains so far?

just jelq, and if it looks bigger after some months, continue with what you are doing.

I like 85-95 erect thus far, and after only a week my flaccid penis is hanging slighty bigger already.

I personally know I am jelqing right and forcing it to expand because I have gone through a lot of difficulty jelqing in the past. It is too difficult to explain how I know it is working as I jelq, but I just do!

About “swelling of the head” I do not know. All I can say is, my penis feels and looks somewhat worked when I have finished and not the same as when I started the workout.

I wouldn’t call that swelling. At the end of my stroke my glans has definitely expanded with all the blood trapped in there. I’d say what you are seeing is a positive sign my friend.

Your last few posts seem a little light on the capitalization. Just a heads up. ;)

really?

Really. I’ve asked you very nicely, don’t push it.

From the Forum Guidelines that everyone has agreed to on this site:

“Capitalize the first word of each sentence. Though it may be artsy and creative to start a sentence with a lower case letter, in this venue it is not preferred.”

This site takes quite a lot of moderating and we just don’t have time to deal with smart-arses and people who think the forum guidelines apply to everyone except them, so please don’t be one or you won’t remain a member here. I’d like you to hang around; you’re a nice guy.

Ok cool. Noted. Incidentally, you guys a little light on username capitalisation eh? :)

Anyway, back on subject… I actually do notice some kind of swelling look on my head after jelqing but I don’t know what the sign is or means really. Maybe look at some before and after session jelqing pics…

User-names should be treated according to the preferences of the person whose user-name it is; if someone capitalizes their user-name, you should too. If they choose not to, neither should you.

Have you read the Forum Guidelines yet? Your previous post still does not adhere to them properly, as you will find out when you study them.

Excerpt:

Avoid excessive use of … or —- in your posts. There are times it is appropriate. However, often, a period or semi-colon to break a thought and start a new one works just as well and is easier to read.

I just discovered a way to jelq that makes the head swell. I read that fully erect jelqs could be damaging, so I have steered clear until today.

I was wet jelqing and noticed myself becoming harder than usual while jelqing and so I kept the jelq strokes short (4” or so) and immediatly used one hand after the other keeping pressure on the base and kegeled as I went and the pressure on the head was intense, so much so that even an hour later I can feel the pressure on my unit.

I am planning to continue this for a while unless I notice EQ issues.

I wet jelq but I don’t really feel the glans expand as much as I think they should. When I dabbled with dry jelqing I noticed that this really got the blood flowing to the head though. I think this ‘swelling’ is a very good sign, nothing to worry about.

So would you say higher erection jelqing (or achieving a higher erection as you jelq) is a good idea overall? I’d always assumed so because the point is to push your penis beyond its normal capacity instead of staying at a low erection and maintaining that throughout. It seems natural that when I kegel in blood after every stroke, my penis just gets gradually bigger during the session.

While I will refrain from giving general advice regarding jelqing, as I haven’t been doing it long, I will say that the way I described the swelling was much more intense that I’ve ever experienced with jelqing. I have only ever experienced something similar when I clamped, and I ended up with the little red dot phenomena.

I am curious to see where this intense jelqing takes me, and as I said above I will keep an eye on the PIs.

This is weird! I was experimenting with my wet jelqing today by lightening the pressure on my jelqs. I was able to maintain my erection all the way through 200 without any pause! I still had enough pressure to expand my glans though not as much as usual. The weird thing is I still have that good feeling in my penis and it’s been 5 hours since I jelqed. I hope I can duplicate it tomorrow. I may have been pushing too much.

Jelqing is jelqing and clamping is clamping. Jelqing should work your penis with the tissues very much in the ‘elastic’ range, wheras clamping almost moves out of that range.

Sounds like what you guys are trying to do is turn a jelq into a clamping type exercise. If you want to clamp and are conditioned to do it, then you are better off clamping properly. And leave jelqs as jelqs.
