Jelq pressure?

Newbie here.

I’ve read through numerous posts directed at newbies, as well as man threads about technique and so forth, but I’ve yet to find a single one that describes the amount of pressure one should try to achieve during a jelq.

For example, when I first tried day 1 of the newbie routine, I felt as though one or two veins were going to pop, and I had to release the OK grip in order to pass over the vein without blowing a valve.

Am I overdoing it? How much pressure are we going for as compared to, say, masturbating?

Are your veins borderline about to explode when you jelq?

Thanks for any replies.

What’s up man,

When it comes to jelqing just use your common sense, if you’re doing a jelq stroke and you feel any pain what so ever then ease up your grip and finish the stroke. Just use a firm grip that’s tight, but not so tight that you’re pulling your dick from the root and then jelqing. Just mess around with grip strengths for awhile. Your grip shouldn’t be as tight as when you ball your fist up. A little lighter than that. Hope this helps peace!

Don’t use the ok grip. You ‘ll fuck up your dick. Pressure on the sides of your dick only. Overhand grip works for me. Look for the jelqing grips thread

Thanks, gentlemen. I didn’t realize the OK grip wasn’t recommended.

Much appreciated!

Any time. The ok grip is dangerous. You will find that your hands will be more easily tired with the proper gripping but remember that safety comes first.
