How hard should I be squeezing. and other Newbie Q's

OK, so I’ve been doing this for a couple of days now (tried a bit half-heartedly last year, but never stuck to it) and I have a couple of questions:

1/ How hard should I be squeezing when I jelq? Should it be bordering on painful? If not, it just feels like I’m having a slow wank!

2/ I’m much more comfortable doing an overhand grip. I find the underhand somewhat awkward. Will both grips yield the same results or do I need to do a mixture of both to keep things even?

3/ Speaking of keeping things even, I have a slight (not major) curve on the right side of my dick (so it points ever-so-slightly left. When I stretch, should I be concentrating on stretching that side? Does this mean pulling to the right? Does this also mean I should jelq more with my right hand to increase length on the shorter left side?

4/ I find it difficult staying at a semi-hard level for too long and generally end up going somewhat floppy. I’ve started putting some porn on to prevent this or to help me gain a quick semi when I get the flop (watching a big guy thrusting away is good motivation to keep going too!). Anyone got any other suggestions on how to keep your wood? Am I just doing something wrong? I have the opposite problem when stretching (can’t stay soft!)

Thanks!

2/ I’m much more comfortable doing an overhand grip. I find the underhand somewhat awkward. Will both grips yield the same results or do I need to do a mixture of both to keep things even? Both to keep things even. I do realize that changing the grip can be awkward, but its probably better to switch off.

3/ Speaking of keeping things even, I have a slight (not major) curve on the right side of my dick (so it points ever-so-slightly left. When I stretch, should I be concentrating on stretching that side? Does this mean pulling to the right? Does this also mean I should jelq more with my right hand to increase length on the shorter left side? Theoretically, you want to stretch the short side out.

I’ve started putting some porn on to prevent this or to help me gain a quick semi when I get the flop (watching a big guy thrusting away is good motivation to keep going too!). Anyone got any other suggestions on how to keep your wood? Am I just doing something wrong? I have the opposite problem when stretching (can’t stay soft!) I can’t answer this one.

Thanks!
