Release hand while jelqing

Ok this question might seem a little dumb, but I have wondered a little bit since I found out about PE.
I have jelqed some months per year since 2008 and I feel that I have pretty OK technique.
When you jelq and the hand is at the glans you put the second hand at the base, so you never let go of the pressure on the penis.

But what if, say, I have jelqed for 10 minutes, and my erection level is to low so I have to release both hand from the penis and take some time to get a better erection level. Is that a “bad” thing? I thought when I was new that it was important to never release your hand the time you jelq, so if you should jelq 15 minutes, there should always be a hand that traps the blood in the penis while jelqing. I thought it was some kind of “pressure” that was building up minute after minute, but I think that’s not true? Or should I really try to avoid release my hands? Sometimes it’s hard to maintain erection level and I need to take away my hands to help the penis grow.

There is no such thing as a dumb question.

If you find your self losing your desired erection level(EL) there is no problem, nor is it a “bad thing”, to take the time to get the EL up. When I’m doing a set of jelqing I have porn on the go for when I cross that bridge. From my experience I try to push blood all the way through my penis, so that means I DO indeed let the blood even out through my penis so I can force blood all the way through my penis, for lack of a better term “full range of motion. That’s of course if you’re looking to do length gains, logically if you were to have a constant pressure built up it would force your corpus chambers to expand outwards instead of length wise.

So to answer your question, its okay to release your grip when you jelq. Any further questions let me know. We’re all in this together.

Thanks, but I really don’t understand what you mean when you wrote jelq for length. I’m out for length, is there a difference in jelqing for length and girth? Only thing I’ve heard is that a higher erection level gives more girth and the other way around.

What you have heard is right, jelqing at a higher erection level will give you girth and vise-versa.

That’s what I meant.

I had the same question John and thanks for the helpful answer rinzler!

Its ok to release it. Whats important is the pressure and the time you put in.

Can someone explain this to me? You’re supposed to keep the pressure or no? I’m uncut and dry jelq with just one hand. Is that less benificial then say wet jelquing with two hands?
