Question from a New Member

Hi, I recently signed up here and have read many threads in all the forums since. Reading the GREAT stories to the ones with injuries and other horrors. This place is a great place and I plan on taking up the Newbie Routine soon(after I have done more research of course) and I had a few questions that I had..
I’ve been reading the discoloration thread and saw some pictures and it looked very painful and hard on the eyes, can jelqing or in general the Newbie Routine cause that?
And is there any other serious problems that can result in jelqing?
Also I’ve read threads about people already having some sort of disease,warts,symptoms being brought back again by jelqing and I was wondering if nothing was wrong with your penis and you did the Newbie Routine right can something still result in that?

Thanks for this guys, I just want to be safe before I start =)

Basically, no matter what you should expect some form of discoloration. It seems for most people though, the discoloration is a somewhat mild darkening of the skin. The real pronounced discoloration usually comes from routines and techniques not included in the newbie routine. Many feel a proper warm up will help fight discoloration, though it’s been up for debate.

Hi Fafner,

The whole point to the newbie routine is to decrease the chance of injury by graduly conditing your penis and learning what PE feels like. Not all but most injuries are to guys starting out that just couldn’t wait to double their workout time or try some goofy advanced exorcise that they had read about. Your “safety first”attitude going into this is a very good thing and will greatly reduce the chance of injury.

I can not tell you that you will never get an injury. You could be doing everything perfect and be surprised by someone knocking on the door while you are stretching and jump up while tugging your penis with a death grip.

Hello - welcome Fafner,

PE related injuries come about after negligent exercise. If you slowly build yourself up and include warm-ups the chances of injury are drastically, infinitely reduced. I’ve had discolouration on numerous occasions, and they invariably form after a stupid move on my behalf (cold-downs instead of a warm-ups, for example). Discolouration is only an aesthetic problem, there is no pain. It does disappear in time. It isn’t that big of a deal.

Spreading of warts is likely if you already have HPV on the genitals. Jelqing with genital warts is a risky decision. The chances of them appearing if you are not infected with HPV is nil, however…

Thanks for answering my questions guys, they are really helpful. I’m gonna do some more research and take in what I can about PE and then start the Newbie Routine.

Once again thanks.
