How tight of grip to do newbie routine

How tight do you grip the shaft when jelquing if your a newbie?

Tight enough to where it won’t hurt. Make sure it’s uniform pressure throughout the entire jelq. The more you can engorge the penis the better. But don’t do it to where it will hurt.

I agree, you want to feel the pressure but you don’t want any pain. Most of the time you can feel things out and see what is a comfortable and an acceptable amount of force. Remember you want to move the blood around not cut off your circulation.
