Just a couple of questions

Hi Guys,

Just joined and just had my first session of the Newbie routine.

I just have a couple of questions that arose -

For the stretches, how hard approx should I be pulling? I gripped with an OK grip and pulled pretty hard, but nowhere near to the limit of my strength as I think this may make my glans pop clean off. :)

With the Jelqs, how firm should the grip be? A real death grip?
Also, I kind of felt it would be better if I kept one hand with a firm ok grip at the base throughout the jelqs whilst jelqing with the other (and swap after a few minutes maybe)- Is this possible?

Also, how on earth do you guys keep a consistent erection level throughout? Mine varied wildly from pretty erect to completely flaccid. If this occurs should I stop and try to get it back in the right zone before continuing?

Finally, I feel no pain now. 2 hours later. Is that normal?

Many thanks in advance and congrats on the great community you all have created here.

Start light and add pressure slowly. You learn how much force to use. You don’t need an erection for stretching and only a slight inflation for jelqing. You should never feel pain.

I think your smartest move now would be to read as much and as often as you can.

I just hate it when that happens!

You already got the advice you need. Welcome to this amazing place and good luck.

Thanks guys.

I’m reading and reading..

Can I just ask if the movement I described - jelqing but with one hand in a constant ok grip at the base whilst ‘milking’ with the other - is a legitimate technique?

Also,
I noticed that when jelqing, my hand was sliding to some extent but was also moving in part by dragging the skin along rather than sliding across it.
Should I use more lube or is it ok to do that?

Many thanks again.

That technique has been used in the past.

More lube for a beginner. You can try the dry jelq after you get a little more experience.
