I'm getting red spots every jelqing session.

I started jelqing some time ago and I went up to 300 jelqs per session with no red spots at all. I did a great break and started again with 100 jelqs until I got to 200. At this point (like 3 weeks ago) I realized how to jelq properly and I realized that I had been jelqing pretty bad for a long time.

Since that moment, my glans would swell in every stroke and I’d got lots of good PIs. I was really excited and approximately the fourth session after this discovery (I maintained the number of jelqs of 3sec strokes with 50-70% erection and some kegels between strokes, that was pretty rough considering I had been doing uneffective jelqing sessions) I saw I had some red spots on my glans and literally hundreds of little red spots in the upper mid shaft. I read some advice and decided to stop PEing for 5 days. After the break I started with 80 jelqs and that gave me red spots as well (less, but still several tough only in the shaft). Then I stopped for 2 days and started with only 50 jelqs. Red spots in the shaft again. Next I tried 80 jelqs without kegels and a lower erection (40-60%). Few red spots in the shaft.

2 days ago I got very few in the shaft only with 25 jelqs at 40-70% without kegeling! :(

What should I do? I don’t get ANY bad PIs other than this burst capillaries. Maybe I should stay with 25-50 jelqs until they stop appearing?

This red spots appear on the back side of my penis (upper mid shaft) so I’ve never seen them until now that I check every day.

Hi Bl1nd,

Your grip might be to tight. When jelqing with a to tight grip right up to the glans, I also tend to get the red spots. Try a slightly looser grip and see how it goes.

My understanding is that proper jelqing with enough force to actually stimulate growth will cause red spots almost all the time, they are just smaller and not in huge numbers and just go away before the next day’s session. Is this not the case?

That’s exactly the case. However, their number is proportional to the number of jelqs done. Will I be able to increase it without getting so much red spots?

I’ll also try a looser grip thank you for your responses :)

I usually get red spots after a good session but they subside, either by the end of the day or the next morning. I sometimes take it as a good sign it means I was getting really good expansion. But I don’t ever get hundreds of them just maybe ten to twenty. I think if all other PI’s are good then this would be a neutral PI.

Those are burst-ed capillaries, the small red ones should heal around 2 days. If they are big and/or purple/brown/black spots then you over did it for sure which is bad. Either way is to make sure your not over doing the pressure. You may also want to look up micro-trauma.
