Penis Exercises: The Joy of the Jelq

The term “jelqing” is a pretty far-reaching one, which encompasses a variety of penis enlargement exercises. It’s by far one of the historically oldest forms of natural penis enlargement, as well as one of the most popular ways to increase penis size today. But where did this mysterious practice come from? Ancient Egypt? The jungles of central Africa? The caves of Afghanistan? The dorm rooms of State College, Pennsylvania? We’ll take a close look at this majestic and manly tradition, as well as offer some pointers on some of the most popular techniques.

Jelqing: an age old penis exercise

The Origins of Jelqing

The most popularly accepted theory of where jelqing originated is that it has its roots in the Middle East. In certain cultures, men would prep their boys for massive manhood by teaching them this technique very early. It’s hard to say if this is where it started, as there are reports of this technique being performed in many other parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia. Besides, I feel like the practice must have been around for a ridiculously long time. Think about it. Dudes have been touching their junk in various ways since time immemorial, so I’m sure it was only a matter of time before some cave man realized that if he tugged a certain way, his penis size gradually became much larger than his fellow Neanderthal. The wheel, fire, and jelqing probably happened around the same time by my estimation.

Jelqing is OK: The Mechanics of Jelqing

The Jelqing V Stretch is A-OK

If you’re a PE novice, you might be wondering, how is this magnificent exercise carried out? Well, there are a lot of them, including some that we’ve already explained like the v stretch, power stretch and sit-down stretch, but we’ll explain the most common jelq. Like all exercises, you’re going to want to start with a warm up. In the case of penis exercising, this means taking a warm bath or wrapping your member in a towel soaked in warm water. This increases blood flow to the penis and primes you for maximum effectiveness.

Here’s a tip. Pros will tell you it’s essential for this exercise to lubricate before you start jelqing. Any kind of lube will do, but I would recommend a water-based personal lubricant from the drug store. Petroleum jelly is also popular.

Now comes the serious business. This exercise is to be performed on a semi-erect penis. If you do it with a completely flaccid penis, it won’t work, and if you do it on an erection, it also won’t work. Wrap your thumb and forefinger completely around the base of your penis making an “OK” formation with your hand. With a firm grasp, perform a “milking” motion, pulling all the blood towards the head of the penis. This can repeated over a hundred times, but number of reps will vary depending on how advanced you are.

Always Room for Jelqing

One of the reasons jelqing has remained so popular over the millennia is that it doesn’t cost any money (except for the lube, I guess). Moreover, it works. People who jelq regularly report significant permanent gains of multiple inches of penile length and girth.
