Who wants to explain in even more detail about the nature of jelqing and how it works? Jelqing has always been a puzzling exercise to me.
Great idea, Spaghettidick! :)
Let’s keep this baby moving.
First, it must be said that I am a newbie, so my opinion probably doesn’t count for much. However:
My opinion on jelqing is that it forces more blood into the blood channels in the CC’s (this much is of course obvious), thus causing micro-damage inside the smaller, peripheral blood chambers of the CC’s.
I think that these micro-damages should ideally be done lightly and gradually, causing damages so small that hardly any change in the penis can be perceived, besides bigger flaccid hang and perhaps slight discoloration.
The penis then heals overnight, and on the off-days, resulting eventually in increases in size.
I think perhaps that there is a “magic” point of micro-damage which allows the greatest size increase to occur. I think that using too strong a grip or doing too many reps causes too much damage to the inside of the penis, resulting in trauma, which is commonly known as “over-training”.
Over-training occurs when so much damage is done to the inside of the penis that the body can’t catch up in time. Perhaps the body actually realizes that the penis has been damaged and responds by retracting, and by refusing to become erect and suffer more damage. (Remember that the penis is more vulnerable when erect, and the body recognizes this and responds accordingly.) These are commonly known as negative PI’s, manifesting in loss of morning wood, diminished EQ, turtling, and even bruising.
The point is that there is a “magic” point where the body doesn’t quite recognize that it has been damaged, and where the damage can be dealt with easily and smoothly during the body’s normal maintenance period, REM sleep, and to a lesser degree throughout the day. Hence Kingpole’s famous slogan “If it hurts it ain’t working”, or “keep it in the pleasure zone”.
Micro-damage is what should be occurring, and visible damage ain’t micro. That’s macro-damage, and results in over-training.
The trick is to be patient and not over-train, I guess.
What do you guys think of this?
(I’m going to think about the Tunica Albuginea now, and how that fits into all this. Since stretching is important, too.)
Keep it rolling, brothers!
