Jelqing Issues

So I have been following newbie routine for a few months, when I started, I read the instructions for the different exercises rather than watch the videos. Looked at the video yesterday and realized I have been doing the jelq exercise incorrectly. I had been using one hand, squeezing from base to tip then letting go and repeating. Video shows squeezing from base to tip with one hand, then holding at tip, then putting other hand at base and squeezing with that hand. When I try to do this, I have problems, it seems after a couple of jelqs, that my balls get in the way and I don’t seem to get anything out of the exercise. Not sure if I am explaining this correctly, has anyone else had similar issues, any ideas on how to overcome?

I use your approach too. I have no trouble retaining my blood in my unit with some kegel manipulation. I think it’s perfectly fine to refrain from catching all the blood at the base at the end of your stroke. In fact about a month in when I tried to, I jelqed with a fairly high EQ and contracted a small injury which knocked me out of the game for just under two weeks. I think one handed is perfectly fine for mid EQ jelqing and seems safer.

Thanks for the reply, so you do a kegel to keep the blood in when moving from tip to base?

Try different grips. Overhand, underhand, v-grip, and combine them. Experiment and see what works. Everyone’s hands and unit are different sizes, so the exact technique would vary as the fit changes. My most comfortable jelq is straight grip at the base, and an inverted v-grip along the shaft. I keep that grip and power it with kegels, do about 10, then swap hands and go the other way.

If that makes sense. Play around with it and don’t get too hung up on someone else’s technique. The goal is to force blood into your penis, hold it there, achieve a little more than maximum expansion, and repeat. However you make that happen is up to you and your penis.

I only kegel if I need to increase my erection level. Whichever technique you use, the objective is to have a certain level of erection and move that blood around. So if I’m erect enough I don’t kegel and if I’m too flaccid I do. If I stay too flaccid I’ll even squeeze the base to keep whatever blood is inside, inside. But in general I don’t need that anymore.
