Ache in groin

3 months in. No gains so I decided to raise intensity. I previously was on the second time through the newbie routine, and the last bit of the second time through, I had been 10 minutes stretch, 22 minutes jelq for about a week and a half.

So I decided to go up to 15 minutes stretch, 30 minutes jelq, splitting it up into 2 workouts. But today after my first session (10 minutes stretch, 15 minutes jelq), I have a dull ache in my groin on the right side. I have a feeling it’s from the stretching but not positive. I’ve had this pain before when I first started, every now and then. Should I skip out on the second session for tonight?

Thanks in advance

I think I know what you a referring to. It may be to do with the lymph vessel located on the right side of the shaft of the penis. I believe stretching would likely irritate this situation even more and would suggest skipping the second session for today and resting for tomorrow and then taking it easy on the day after. You’ll be fine though so it’s not a big cause for concern. If you get a hard guitar-like string pop up on the right side of your shaft, definitely take 3 weeks off because I think that’s the next stage of this condition. I went through something similar :)

guitar-like string pop? Good god. Tomorrow’s my rest day anyway, so I’ll take your advice.

Lol “pop-up”. As in “appear” :D

I had this from the PF being too tight. It was an irritated lymph node that although essentially got better in a month, it took a further 4 months for it to completely disappear, although it had no consequence and I did continue PE.

I hope you get the gains you seek, I’m almost a year in and still hoping for something!! If you have success - let me know and share the secret and we can call it even ;)

wait, now I’m confused. I feel like I always have that after I finish jelqing. There are noticeably swollen capillaries / veins that stick out that never have. I guess they’re a little guitar like.

Is it actually ON the shaft?

The swollen veins is not something I ever experienced, although I think the vascular look afterwards is not uncommon. But the thing I am referring to is a very identifiable, long, straight(ish) thicker “cord” that goes alongside the shaft. It is in a sense on the shaft, but you would also be able to put your fingers either side of it and move it a little, as unpleasant as it would be to do so. I don’t think you have this, I am just saying the ache may be related to a prelude to it if you don’t rest when you feel it.
