Jelqing Pain

Hiya everybody,

I’ve been on the Newbie Routine for almost 3 weeks now (tomorrow makes 3) and today I started to feel pain in my upper/mid shaft area while jelqing. After about 20 jelqs, I ended the PE session early from fear of an injury. This is coming just after my rest day

Like the Newbie Routine instructs, I warm up for 5 mins, then some manual stretches for 6 mins (increased from 5 after week 1), followed by 240 jelqs (increase from 200), ended with a 5 min warm down and kegels. My EQ has done nothing but rise since the start of my PE career so I am unsure if this is overtraining or not.

Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!

It’s called using too much force. Be gentle.

Watch your erection level. Jelqing erect is painful.

Jelqing erect should not be done.

Less force for the win!

Never do it with an erection.

Wow, did not expect to have this many responses this fast. Thanks for stopping by with advice !

I usually jelq at around 50-70% erection level. Out of curiosity, I have jelqed at full erection for maybe 2 strokes the first day or 2 into PE (Super uncomfortable).

As for the force, it is possible I am using too much of it; but wouldn’t that be a more immediate issue, rather than showing up almost 3 weeks later ?

Also would it be smart to take a few days off because of this, or is it too minor to cause an actual injury ?

Take the holiday off. Tell everyone I said it was okay. Soreness at times takes time to become apparent.
