Jelqing and Penis Enlargement

Natural Enlargement And Jelqing

Where does the word "jelq" come from and what does it have to do with penis enlargement? There are a number of theories regarding where the term jelq originated. Some say the jelq can be traced back to ancient times, when Arabic fathers would prepare their sons for marriage by using a technique called jelqing which increased the size of the penis. This was supposedly done at a young age, since marriage was usually effected between thirteen and seventeen years of age.

Others say jelq is a corruption of the word "jerk" as in "jerk-off". Whatever the case, jelqing is now applied generally to cover a range of penis enlargement exercises.

Europeans are credited with the popularization (or re-popularization perhaps) of natural penis enlargement, with variations on the jelq technique. A number of books about jelqing have been written, detailing natural penis enlargement exercises which can increase penis length and girth. The techniques for jelqing detailed by most authors are rigorous and time-consuming, taking as much as 45 minutes in a single sitting. The jelq has been the most popular natural penis enlargement technique for some years, only recently making its way to America, and subsequently the Internet.

Natural penis enlargement is based on the idea that the cavernosa and spongiosum, the two pieces of spongy tissue in the penis, can be expanded to hold more blood. The jelqing exercise utilizes a milking of the penis, which involves a tourniquet hand to keep blood in the penis and a milking motion to move the blood around. Jelqing sessions usually consist of a hundred or more of these milking actions (or jelqs) and can occupy anywhere up to an hour a day. An equivalent of the jelq method would be to fill a balloon partially with water and use one hand to clamp the end of the balloon, pushing the water into the end. Then, taking the other hand, applying slight pressure and pushing the water towards the end of the balloon. To continue with this analogy, the milking of the balloon would stretch the rubber, and the capacity of the balloon would increase.

The amount of actual information and support about natural penis enlargement and jelqing on the Internet is minimal. Most websites merely offer the same set of exercises, with no support or expertise to offer subscribers. There are some exceptions to this paucity of information however, www.altpenis.com offers insights into a number of comprehensive jelqing programs.

The Jelq Warm Up

The jelq is just like any other exercise - you need to warm-up before starting!

1. Massage the penis until it is partially erect (semi-tumescent).
2. Soak a washcloth in warm water.
3. Wrap the penis in the washcloth for several minutes.
4. Repeat this procedure three times.

An alternative to the above jelq warm-up is to massage the semi-erect penis in a warm bath.

The Jelq

1. Apply some lubricant to your hands and penis. Your penis should be partially erect.
2. With the thumb and forefinger, make an "Okay" sign around the base of your penis and grip it firmly.
3. Now commence a milking motion towards the end of your penis.
4. When the milking hand reaches the head, form an "Okay" sign with your free hand and start milking as you did previously with the other hand. Do not milk the head of the penis.
5. You should be able to use both hands to create a continuous milking action, alternating between hands.

Try and complete 100 jelq strokes every five minutes. For the first week, only perform 100 jelq strokes each day. For the second week, perform 200 jelq strokes each day. For the third week onwards, try and perform 400 jelq strokes each day.

Ensure A Safe Jelq

• Always do the warm-up exercises before performing the jelq.
• Always use plenty of lubricant when doing jelqs.
• Don't squeeze too hard. If it hurts then your jelq grip is too hard.
• Never jelq when you have a full erection. Jelq only when you have a semi-tumescent (rather than fully-erect) penis otherwise you may damage your penis.
• Always perform a "warm-down" (same as a warm-up) routine at the completion of your jelqing exercises.
