Jelqing has destroyed my life A warning.

The injury stated in the head of this thread doesn’t really conform to other cases, which makes it interesting and unusual if it is a fair description. Generally, even if sensation is temporarily lost, it is regained - though sometimes after some months, dependent on injury.

I think the chances of injury from stretching are probably similar to those from jelqing. PE that works best, tend to be the Spanish Inquisition type: sneaking up on your penis when it’s not looking. You may find you can get what your want from very minor stretching. I would recommend the JAI stretch as a potential route forward. If this doesn’t work though, you may have to consider either opting out or going for methods with more traction. If you choose to PE, it is terribly important to take note of the feedback your body is giving you. Certainly though it is not unusual to feel shooting pains while growing, which is probably damage to nerves.

You’re right, it does repeat but there are some gems, probably after you stopped reading carefully.

The vast majority of guys who experience problems usually admit, somewhere down the line, that they greatly over-did a session, with an unconditioned penis. There are a tiny number who experience problems from doing nothing wrong in their PE, but those guys would probably have experienced the problem they got from engaging in normal intercourse or masturbation at some stage, even if they had never done PE. They had a pre-disposing weakness.

Approached with a sensible attitude of caution, the newbie routine (especially the linear newbie routine) should not initially place much more stress on your penis than an enthusiastic session of masturbation or lovemaking. As you ramp up the intensity, it would be unusual to go through several years of PE without any sort of minor injury, just the same as if you played football or went to the gym. But as with sports, they are usually minor injuries with no long-term damage, and nothing to worry about. If you never attempt anything out of fear of consequences, you never achieve anything.

I suppose so. I think the loss of sexual sensation is definitely a huge risk though. I’m not sure it’s risking that for trying to get an extra inch or two. But everyone makes that decision on their own. I’m glad I had a chance to read up on this before doing any sort of harder PE than what I have done so far that way I can make my decision to PE knowing there could be potentially huge risks with it.

It’s actually a tiny risk of a bad potential result. A bit like flying. The chance of being in a plane crash is minimal but if it happens you are lucky to survive. So, if you’re the kind of guy who doesn’t fly and doesn’t travel by train and doesn’t own a car, then it’s probably a good idea to avoid PE.

This can’t be right, it’s like losing the use of your arms after 10 curls. Unless you we’re using a ridiculous amount of force it must be impossible. I agree psychosomatic causes are much more likely, also perhaps general fitness, diet or lifestyle could be the cause. I’ve noticed stress can play a huge part in EQ. I’ve had the complete opposite from jelqs, if your cautious then just start with very light pressure, it may even benefit you after an injury, like a massage.

Well some one please tell me how you start a new posting thread

Post new threads in the Penis Enlargement Basics forum. It might help if you had read the Forum Guidelines . You kept posting new threads in Member Pics, so I turned off your access to that forum.

It seems the danger from jelquing is primarily damaging the nerves/arteries/veins that run across the top of the penis. I thankfully will never jelq because I have no interest in gaining girth.

My primary interest is in gaining length, which is why I have been reading up on everything I can about stretching. I’m surprised at how much punishment some guys can take (hanging 15lb weights off their penises yikes!) and they make gains with zero injuries. Yet other guys will injure themselves from doing a simple light stretch like measuring their stretched flaccid length.

Maybe it all has to do with warm up? I really have no idea. I’ve stopped all PE for now and rather learn more about it before I dwelve into it more deeply.

Research is always good.

Any of you think people watch that “Extreme Male Beauty” programme and don’t believe the theory of jelqing?

I read about the DMSO and Iodine treatment here just recently and it may help the “firm flaccid” and other penis injuries.

I have started this week to do the treatment and already, after three days, noticed an increase in rigidity in my erections and ease in getting hard.

It may be placebo, but I’m going to continue the treatment twice a day.

Why are you comparing the penis to the arm?

I wouldn’t dream of calling you an imbecile but that is something an utter imbecile would say.

Careful, wonka. Very nicely wrapped but it doesn’t disguise your intent.

That’s name calling Willy Wonka. Given your personal troubles, I’m not giving you a time out, but don’t do it again. I am having enough of your intolerant behavior.

Edit: sorry wrote while Mem was posting.

For Firegoat, Marinera and the rest of the “we’ve never seen this kind of injury before, you are an anomaly” crew,

One of the many PM’s I have received from fellow sufferers:

“I’m in the same situation. I’m seeing a pelvic floor specialist and doing the stretches , supplements.
Basically my life feels over and I spent the entire summer in my room tryi g to sleep , praying never to wake up
I just want some hope somehow that this will ease up. I just joined here ,, it happened 4 months ago.
Same symptoms as you. The veins. Hard flaccid.
I’m nearing the end of my rope willywonka.
Have you had ANY improvement at all?”
