What's Your Preference

I usually alternate several palm up and several palm down. Each one seems to feel different and stress different sections of my dick. plus i like the variety

I do mine overhand (I think. I have my palms facing down). I have a small penis, so my hands get in the way if I do them underhand (palm up).

I give this thread two palms down.

I use the hands down technique for the same reason you do, I can trap blood better and start the stroke closer to my pelvic bone that way.

I feel like it works better but I just can’t seem to maintain a consistent erection with palms down. But I can with palms up. What should I do?

Switch to a rolling pin, maybe?

My erection starts to subside also while going palms down. When this happens I simply switch to a regular masturbation grip for a few strokes until my erection is where I need it. This does prolong your session a little but I am still making gains so I am happy. I’ve heard some guys say they use porn to maintain an erection but I don’t have the privacy for that. If any more experienced guys have any comments about me using regular strokes between palm down jelq strokes please speak up.

Palm down, except when jelquing SU.

I definitely prefer palms down, I get a better grip further up towards the base. I love it, although sometimes jelqing at higher angles I sometimes switch to palms up. All about preference I guess.

So what is the best angle to jelq? I jelq straight out but I hear a lot about straight down. Would this affect maximum erection angle?

Guilty, my bad!

Gottahv8, I honestly was not able to keep an erection at the level I needed it to be so I stuck with the regular grip. I truly had a spark one day and said “let me try this again and see if it works.” That was about 2-3 weeks ago. I just make sure that I get my dick to where I need it to be with a little masturbation, then I grab it with my palms down and ensure I kegel in between each jelq.

They say lower erection jelqs do more for length, and higher erection does more for girth. During some sessions I just jelq with whatever erection level I have that day(mine vary a lot) since I am happy with both length and girth gains.

I guess that makes sense. When I jelq with my palms up, I typically am at about an 80 to 100 percent erection level. With my palms down, it’s more like 60 to 80 percent or so.

For me it is palms down. I get an over all better grip that way.
