Jelqing breaks your dick

So I’ve been hearing so much stuff, like jelqing breaks your dick and gives you gangrene and all of that stuff, and I can’t help but cringe every time I jelq because I visualise my capillaries bursting, or my tissue tearing or something like that and I can’t continue.

Plus the fact that I rarely see any progress pics without some, if not loads of variations in ruler placement. (Though I have seen some decent ones, but can’t find their routine)

Please help, I’m so confused on what to do

Honestly, if “every time I jelq I visualise my capillaries bursting, or my tissue tearing or something like that and I can’t continue” then you probably shouldn’t be doing PE to start with.

In almost every case I’ve seen here of people damaging themselves jelqing, the person usually admits to doing too much, too soon, or way, way too hard. Jelqing is very safe, when done safely, and can be damaging when done stupidly. There are only lots of ‘woe’ stories if you go looking for them.

Just start with the linear newbie routine, and be sensible. Or learn to live with your penis and don’t do PE, which for some people really is the correct choice.

Jelqing does work. But as with everything, moderation is the key.

Do not squeeze your penis tight when jelqing. As Firegoat describes it below:

Finally learning to jelq

Do not over do it, and more importantly listen to your penis and know when to stop, pain is a very bad sign, immediately stop if you feel any pain, you will be fine.

Your penis should not be fully erect while jelqing, about 50% erection is enough.

Jelqing is not about bursting capillaries, and damaging blood vessels, it gradually increases your penis’ ability to hold more blood, by slightly pushing a little bit more than it is used to.

It takes a bit to get used to jelqing, and develop a technique that works for you.

Reading replies and quotes like these really help to educate and have a more inclusive knowledge of what is okay and what’s not. Thank you!

To be honest, I mainly read 4chan posts about how it doesn’t work, and when you ask if it works, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE jumps on you and tell’s you that it gives you ED. It makes me really paranoid because if it was legit then don’t you think everyone would have some basic knowledge, and that jelqing would actually have some press like articles and studies? I’m not calling you all liars, but I’m very sceptical.

I suggest you spend a bit more time reading the forum. Very, very few people have ever said jelqing gives you ED. The vast majority say it actually helps any existing ED or gives them much stronger erections if they didn’t have ED! Aggressive stretching and hanging can increase temporary ED, and as said above, doing ‘stupid’ jelqing - too much, too soon, can cause minor temporary ED or even damage. But sensible jelqing will never cause ED; quite the reverse.

If you are sceptical, do it and prove it to yourself. No one here will convince you to change your mind; we can’t do it for you, you have to do it for yourself.

If the result of jelqing were ED, it’s doubtful this forum would still be here, let alone have lasted 15 years or whatever supported by donations. There would have to be some very stupid or twisted people to donate to something that has just caused them ED.

That or we’d have to have a mod team that is very quick and highly censorious. That could work. The mods here are very efficient.

Half the time on 4chan you also get a guy talking about what he’s gained and maybe linking info. That guy could be you in 6 months :) or not. Maybe you’ll be telling people that it causes ED whilst laughing all the way to your gains.

I would suggest leaving 4chan for good.

I don’t want to hijack, but how can jelqing actually increase size when you just push blood around? Shouldn’t there be significant pressure applied?
