I’d be more concerned about people NOT trying out erect jelqing. It’s great. Nothing bad happens afterward, that’s a myth. The only thing that happens is your dick grows bigger.
Now if you do erect jelqing beyond the point of your conditioning, or beyond when you’re getting a signal to stop for the day - sure you might end up with an “injury.” Say some blood spots or raw skin, or temporarily lower EQ, or a minor ache/pain for a few days. But it’s most definitely not permanent.
Throughout the last 5 years I’ve tried out many forms of PE that will supposedly cause me an injury. And none of them have. I’ve hit a bump in the road here and there. But anything I’ve run into has been fine within a few days.
I’m not saying conditioning and technique don’t matter. They absolutely do. I couldn’t do the stuff I do today when I was a newbie. You have to increase intensity one step at a time. Everyone has to respect their current level of conditioning. But even if you overstep your boundaries, it’s not permanent.
There are a thousand ways to pull and squeeze a dick. Injuries are not caused by these various methods. They’re simply different ways to apply force on a penis.
It’s like saying leg lifts are a safe way to work out your quads, but barbell squats will cause you an injury. It’s ridiculous. Yeah, putting 500 pounds on the bar your first day at the gym will cause you an injury. But squats, in and of themselves, do not cause injury. Neither does any specific form of PE.
You can pump to full vacuum. You can put 8 cable clamps on your dick as tight as you can. You can crush you dick in a bench vise, or use a rolling pin on it. You could get erect and whack it with a stick. You can hang hundreds of pounds from it with the right technique. You can clamp and pump at the same time. It’s one tough cookie.
Provided you try out all these things in a graduated manner, learn the technique along the way, and listen to your dick on when to stop for the day, or when you need a longer break… nothing bad happens to it.
There are very few types of permanent injury that I can think of. One is actually rupturing the tunica, as in literally cutting open your penis and the tough tissue that makes it up. Another would be completely severing a nerve, also requiring actually cutting through the penis. The other would be cutting off circulation for long periods of time.
Nerve damage can take a few months to recover from. That is 1st or 2nd degree nerve damage by the way. Because completely severing the nerve is not possible from PE, and if done, would cause complete and irreversible numbness distal to the neurotmesis. I’ve never heard about this injury from PE. It can technically happen without actually cutting into the body. For example, in a dislocated shoulder or hip that is ripped so forcefully and causes such a large displacement within the body that the nerve is ripped apart. So if you actually ripped your dick off, you could sever a nerve. Short of that, it’s not permanent.
The penis shaft has no bones, no joints. It’s a bunch of collagen, blood vessels, spongy tissue made up of smooth muscle and more collagen, a nerve bundle, and a urethra. All of these things heal, within a few weeks, provided they aren’t completely ripped apart. And no matter how intense a force I’ve applied, nothing has ripped mine apart.
I’m not recommending newbies go out and do the most intense form of PE possible. I am recommending that they try out anything they want to in a graduated manner, and that they can do so without fear, because the penis will heal if they do happen to screw up. And they’ll learn a lesson on technique along the way. And will some day be an expert in all the various PE methods they choose to.
You can injure yourself every time you get out of bed. Maybe you should just never wake up. You’ll be completely safe. Or, you could get up and do anything you ever dreamed of, risking injury every step of the way, but knowing you will heal and continue onward anyway.
So believe whatever you want. A bunch of people who say this or that technique will cause an injury, and all never try it out, but remind each other how un-injured they all are. It’s fine. I drank the coolaid when I was a newbie too, spouting mainstream advice about a bunch of stuff I had zero experience with. Or you can believe the guys who actually tried it and didn’t get injured. It’s up to you.
You can believe that doing some jelqs for a few months, essentially giving your dick a strong massage, caused permanent damage to your erectile capabilities, and wallow in despair with no solution for as many years as you want. Or you can study up on your anatomy, conclude that absolutely zero permanent physical damage was done - and that there is some other reason for your predicament, and go deal with that reason.
Spreading fear, now that’s dangerous.
