I don't know if this is an injury but...

I have been jelqing for a bit over a month now.

I have had about zero gains besides a more conditioned penis ( :) ) but even so I want real gains….

Well I have been doing jelqing rather light (not too light though.)

Basically when I used to do jelqs, there was no high-pressure feeling in my penis. There was basically no “pain” or much of any soreness.

So after a month of jelqing, I figured I could up the pressure and intensity. I didn’t up it that much (its not like I was giving my penis a death grip), however I would feel high pressure through my penis.

After 3.5 minutes of jelqing, I felt an all of a sudden sharp pain within the inside of my penis near the glans.

After that pain, I basically stopped jelqing. I was in a bit of a worried shock, so my erection went to basically 0%.

I feel no pain now.. my penis looks pretty shriveled (probably because I am anxious now).

Anyway, I think this isn’t a bad long term thing. Just a first sign to take it easy.

… I wish I made those “newbie” 0.5” gains. I’d like to work my penis a bit harder, but I of course don’t want an injury.

So any one have experience with this?

Any advice on how to increase your jelqing intensity level safely while still making good gains?

Increase by what feels right.

It sounds like you unreasonably expected those “newbie 0.5” gains though. Very few get those.

Don’t be disappointed, consistancy is key.

Sounds to me like you over excited a nerve bundle.

(for lack of a proper medical term)

I’ve felt a simular sensation on the left side of my glands a couple time in the past after a heavy

PE session. Almost like a burning sensation and it is quite uncomfortable. It never last, but I take it as a warning sign (at the first instance that I feel it) to back off a bit. I’ll usually take the next day or 2 off until I feel comfortable again. No sense in having a big wanker if it don’t work.
