Jelqing is a term used to describe repetitive massage techniques that build up the size of your penis.
The origin of the term has a couple theories - no one seems to know for sure, nor does anyone seem to know why the letter "u" was left out. One theory is that jelqing originated in the Middle East when fathers prepared their sons for sex by teaching them techniques. The other theory is that the word jelqing is an off-shoot of the expression "jerk off", brought into being by college students.
In any event, the word jelqing is now commonly known as the descriptive word for all-natural penis enlargement exercising. Natural because you do not use any external device or equipment. Just your hands are used, along with a lubricant. Jelqing has become the most popular penis enlargement method in America.
In the late 1970s, comprehensive research took place that delved into the effectiveness of jelqing and the results were promising. Results in the British Journal of Sexual Medicine showed positive for 87 percent of the test group with an increase in penis length of up to 1.4 inches and an increase in penis girth of up to 1 inch in the study group.
Jelqing workouts are based around a daily session that should last from 10 to 30 minutes. You start with a warm-up, which consists of a warm bath or perhaps a warm, wet towel applied to your penis. This will increase blood flow to the penis to prepare it for the exercising.
Once you've completed your warm-up, you apply some lubricant. Now you want your penis semi-erect (never fully erect) to begin exercising. If your penis is flaccid, the exercise is useless. If its erect, the exercises are impossible.
Using your hands, you grip your penis so as to completely encircle the base ensuring no blood escapes from the penis. You then "milk" your penis, moving your hand(s) toward the head and forcing the blood flow toward the end of your penis. The average workout is usually around 100 to 200 jelq movements.
You'll want to avoid ejaculating. If you feel the urge, break from the exercises. Also cease exercising if you begin to feel any pain or discomfort.
After several months of performing jelqing your penis size should increase both in girth and length. Long-time practitioners claim gains of several inches in length are possible.
Like any exercise, jelqing needs to be done with proper care and technique. Products geared to assist jelqing can be a tremendous help, and help speed up the process. While you can do jelqing on your own, without any devices, experts do recommend some form of assistance.
