Jelq techniques

Ok I was wondering if wet jelqing has advantages over dry jelqing other than less irritation.. Also, I have a hot tub, is jelqing in the hottub a good idea since it keeps my member hot constantly, ANY advice would be helpful because I read in another post that someone takes a bath before any of the work outs to warm everything up, and if warming up promotes blood flow, then wouldn’t a 30 min jelq session in the hottub be more effective.. Any help or advice is much appreciated

Wet jelqing is typically a length exercise and dry jelqing is better for girth.

Jelqing in the hot tub is fine. A lot of members here do that.

Thank you all so much for helping me, I don’t feel like such a newbie anymore, I actually have a couple of the exercises down, ill be sure to keep posting

xl, is prolific but he isn’t ‘all’ yet I don’t think.

I disagree with the jelq assesment though, girth/length from jelqing has to do more with erection level than anything else, I think.

Effectively when you dry jelq you are using the internal lubrication of your penis. The limiting factor can often be how much play you have in your skin more than anything else. I’m uncircumcised and found I could jelq only about 75% of the shaft without stretching the base skin and enhancing the potential for turkey neck.

I agree with xl.

If you were to do dry jelqs and wet jelqs at the same erection level, then dry jelqs would primarily target girth, while wet jelqs would hit length.

Of course, using a different erection level changes all of that though.

I was pondering the same thing. I was the only one who responded, yet he said “Thank you all”. Maybe he was being sarcastic. ;)

I was indicating that all the other variables were the same, and that the only difference is whether you use a lubricant or not. If that is so, then dry jelqing with the same erection level better targets girth.

No I wasn’t being sarcastic, any opinions or help is appreciated.. When you say erection level is a variable in jelqing, what erection level is prime for this exercise, both wet and dry. Also, while making the “ok” with my hand while I’m dry jelqing, how hard should I be squeezing.. Hard enough to feel the blood moving up and down in my shaft, or just hard enough to create some flow in between?

For newbies like yourself, you want to keep the erection level lower, around the 30-60% range. You shouldn’t be dry jelqing just yet. That is a little more advanced than what you should be doing. If your penis isn’t conditioned properly, you might just be spinning your tires.

Ok, I just figured the dry jelq was easier since I can do it anywhere, and don’t have to get my hands messy.. When I do a wet jelq is it the same as the dry jelq, or do I pull from the base and take my hands completely over the glans? Thank you

On a dry jelq, you are sliding the skin. On a wet jelq, the lube is forcing your hand to slide. Just concentrate on the wet jelqing for right now, even if it isn’t as convenient. :)
