JELQ technical question

Hello!

So I have jelqued for only two days now, but some issues prevail(maybe not so serious, I don’t know). Here are my questions:

-I find it difficult to maintain a 50% erection. I begin by achieving an erection of about 50%, but after a few minutes it goes down to 20% or so. Looking at porn will bring me up past 80%, which as I read here is not a good erection level for newbies. Does anybody have a trick for maintaining 50% wood?

-I find as my OK grip approaches my glans, it gets difficult to reach the end without the skin bunching up. I have the tendency of pulling back down on the shaft with my other hand in order to stretch out the skin and thereby facilitating completion of the jelq movement. Is this ill-recommended?

-I have a 6:00 LOT. Does this mean I can expect no growth by stretching the ligaments, I.e. Pulling downwards, and should go straight to the tunica? Not sure about this because this is the first time my cock is experiencing this kind of sensation, maybe a new pull can stimulate the ligaments even with a 6 o’clock LOT?

I have spent quite a number of hours perusing the forums here and didn’t come across these answers, but if I am redundant I apologize. I just really need this to work and want to do it correctly from the beginning. I guess my situation is pretty bad, I have an EL of just over 4.5” and a girlfriend who has expressed dissatisfaction on more than one occasion. She says she is used to bigger guys, so you can perhaps imagine the mental turmoil this has caused me.

Please help with any information you can provide. Happy growing!

hey, jesmid.

Maintaining the right erection level takes time. I have had both problems to too high and too low. Imagination can get you back up, but so can kegels and swinging your rod from the base. When it gets too high, I think about the economy for a bit until it looks ready to go again.

It can be slow going at the beginning, but very soon, you’ll get into a zone and figure out what works for you without having to stop and go so much.

I dry jelq, so I know what you’re talking about, but there isn’t much you can do about it with dry jelqs. I think with wet jelqs, you’re supposed to keep the other hand on the base, anyway - to maintain engorgement a little better. That should keep the skin down.

I had a super sad LOT, too, but I just just went for it anyway and got nice gains.

Welcome and good luck.

Welcome to Thunder’s Place jesmid. No need to apologize, it’s expected that new guys will have some questions. I’m surprised, however, if you’ve read anything about the LOT theory that you haven’t found any of the posts (mostly from me) saying the LOT theory isn’t valid. Besides being physiologically illogical, it was intended for hangers (men who hang weights from their penis) and wasn’t meant to be applied to jelqing or manual stretching. Here’s the advice most often given: ignore your LOT number.

Pulling the skin back isn’t really a problem. It’s actually necessary for many guys who have natural (uncircumcised) penises.

Regarding the girlfriend: perhaps it’s time to find one who appreciates you for what you are and doesn’t compare you to former lovers. That type of behavior doesn’t sound like it would be good for a long-term relationship.

Agreed, do you really want to be with someone who has dissatisfaction about your penis size?

Regarding the LOT theory, I abondoned research BECAUSE of westla90069 XD.

But then… about your Jelq issue, here’s what I did>> I simply ignore the fact that I raise above the 80% limit. After 2 weeks of such behavior, my thingy seemed to obey me more (except for photographs… he dislikes them and gets shy before a camera uhauauahuha). Bear in mind that it is a GREAT idea to Jelq with less intensity when in woody state, right?

see ya! and good luck

Dude, I started off the same size as yourself and I know how you feel. Just stick to it, with all this info and forum members, I gained between 1/4-1/8th inch in a month. I’ve had the same problem maintaining an erection and with bunching skin. When you jelq, hold the base with one hand (that keeps the blood in and helps maintain erection).. Each time you alternate hand, kegel in some more blood. It’s sort of a modified Uli method. Look up the Uli method to get an idea. Good Luck and Stay consistent
