Interesting stat

Hi all: I am 47 and was 7.5 by 5.7. I just recently started jelqing. At first it was great. Big mushy cock that grew huge. I started two weeks ago. I am now 7.5 by 5. I have definitely noticed a decrease in girth. The tubes in my cock have become narrow but they feel longer. Wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. I have been using a pump off and on for about ten years.

Welcome to the forum, Fatman. Respectfully sir, I suggest that you might have mis-measured at some point. 7/10ths of an inch difference in girth is very substantial. I haven’t heard of girth getting smaller as a result of jelqing, but it could happen. However, a decrease that significant, in just two weeks, is unlikely.

What’s your measuring technique?

Hi and thanks for the response. I have been a size freak all my life. I have always measured my penis since I was a kid. I measure midshaft about an inch below my head. My cockhead is still 7” but trust me my shaft girth has gone down considerably. When I jelk I no longer have the build up of blood like I did a couple of weeks ago. When I first start I could build up the girth to 6”, then literally over nite I tried again in the morning and noticed a considerable decrease. I know it sounds weird but I also know about measuring and the tape measure doesn’t lie.

Okay, that’s a crucial item. Are your erections still strong?

You might stick with jelqing for another week or two and see if the costs outweigh the benefits. If it continues to make your dick smaller than it was, you should probably stop doing it. It sounds like you’ve been at this a long time so you’re well-conditioned already. Are you working on girth? Have you tried squeezes? Or maybe clamping?

I jelq very little any more. ‘Just between pumping or clamping sessions. It’s good for conditioning, and some guys have got good gains from jelqing alone, but as you know, it’s not a requirement.

Hi: Not sure what happened. I am back to the size I was post-pumping. Not that it is a big deal, but kind of want the girth back. The good part is I have gained length and after such a short time. I am pretty confident that I will get back the size I started with in time. I am such an addict to it that I really don’t want to stop now. Part of the fun is to re-invent my penis since I spend so much time enjoying it. Thanks for the advice. Will keep posting. Great site by the way.
