I've become a bruiser

I’ve decided to post in this forum because I’ve now become a bruiser. I am not new to PE and I’ve been dry jelqing for 5 or more months because of a lack of real privacy and facilities for a proper wet jelq. It’s been working good for me as well as manual stretches and my home-made PeniMaster style of device. In the last month or so during my normal routine I’ve noticed red/purple splotches on my skin on either side, where the CC are. So what I normally do is just don’t jelq for 2 days or so and they go away. After that, I start to jelq again and begin bruising again. I’ve bruised in the past but more recently I’ve started bruising every time I dry jelq. I just bought some vitamin E lotion that I am going to try to wet jelq with to see if I can refrain from bruising. I’ve gained moderately well in the last 5 to 6 months, 3/4” in length and 1/4 in girth so I enjoy jelqing and don’t want to quit. I also notice that I bruise in the same spots too. I’ve read many threads on bruising and dark spots on the board, and now I too join the ranks of bruiser.

I suggest trying a combination of things:

1) Warm up, as in use heat. Take your pick from the methods, just get some good warmth on the unit for 5-10 minutes before the session.

2) Ease up a little, especially at first. Begin your session using a very light grip. Increase gradually. Foreplay for the veins? :)

3) Go extra easy on the first day back after taking a day or two off. For whatever reason resting a day or more seems to supersensitize the capillaries. They will be less capable of tolerating the stresses imposed had you not taken a day off. I don’t understand this. It is a PE mystery few have addressed.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try. I’ve been steal PE’ing so warm up has always been difficult.

Maybe you can do your workouts after a hot shower? Double duty. Get clean and warmed up at the same time.
