Jelqing: 3 secs or 5 secs? And how many minutes?

I’ve read through a bunch of jelqing threads. Some say each stroke should be 3 seconds. Some say 5 seconds is better. What do you guys say?

And for how long? 10min? 20min? 30min?

Standing or sitting?

Anyone use olive or coconut oil?

Listen to your dick. You seem to like overthinking all aspects of PE. Learn what’s best for you.

This.

Mine always says to touch it, lol

To you, or anyone who’ll listen?

But seriously, go by feel. And start out at less time and increase time when your gains stall. There’s no magic “one-size-fits-all” type answer.

It’s been a week since I first posted this thread, and in that time I’ve totally upped my jelqing game.

For years I did what I now consider to be “half assed” jelqing. Maybe 3-5 mins in the shower, with a milking pace that was way too fast. Still, it probably got me into the 7 inch club.

This past week I was able to gradually get myself up to 30 min sessions, including most of that time spent with one hand squeezing the base, similar to a clamp to restrict the blood outflow (but frequently kegelling and swapping hands about every 2-3 mins to keep it fresh). The result is that my flaccid state is slightly longer and thicker. Hopefully I’m on my way to changing from a grower to a show-er.

Questions…

Apparently manually squeezing the base (like a clamp) during jelqing as I described above is called “jelq squeezing”?

Does anyone else think that “jelq squeezing” (if that’s what it’s called) is the superior way to jelq?

What oil? I used olive oil but have read threads where coconut oil is popular (though purified mineral oil may be best if you can find it)

Does anyone else see jelqing as a great “best of both worlds” exercise which enhances both length (like stretching) and girth (like squeezing) ??

Anyone else doing jelqing 30mins a day? Is it OK to do two 30 min sessions per day? Can it be done everyday, or should I practice a 5/2 schedule?

I think it’s superior for girth gains but not for length gains. The squeezing should push the erection up a notch and therefore focusing more into the girth department.

For length increases the erection levels has to be on the lower side, like 40-50%.

Coconut and olive oil are pretty common. Basicly any mineral oil will do. If you don’t mind the mess and are currently not using any equipment, vaseline is alright too.

Just stay away from lotions with detergent properties, like soaps, shampoo etc. They tend to dry the skin and develop a hell of a itch.

Another week has gone by, making it 2 weeks since I first posted this. I’m jelqing with a base squeeze for 30mins regularly with a day or two break here and there.

My flaccid “show-er” size has increased noticeably, and my erect girth has also increased very slightly. Not much change in erect length.

Is this normal progress?
