Medical reports on jelqing causes infertility.

Does anyone know if jelqing causes infertility or bad sperm?

Does anyone know of medical reports on it?

How would jelqing your penis cause problems with your nuts?

Any interesting theories?

Fiction causing static electricity generating an atomic sub-space field. ZAP! “AAA!!! MY SPERM!” :chuckle:

No just joking, I think our sperm are unaffected by what we do to our penis’. Just don’t punch yourself in the balls, that’s always a bad idea.

Actually it is possible, one can blow a blood vessel in his testicle(s) by applying pressure to his penis which theoretically may lead to infertility. However chances are slim. I don’t think jelq can do it, but extreme qirth excercises can.

“one can blow a blood vessel in his testicle(s) by applying pressure to his penis which theoretically may lead to infertility”

I find it very difficult to see how that could happen. Where did you get that info? Any sources?

I think the only chance of that happening, is use of excessive heat or wrongly applied heat prior or following your routine.

Your little swimmers (or what you prefer to call them) can be affected by heat. Normally will the scrotum react to heat and increase surface area when too hot, but this mechanism will only work to some degree if we apply too much heat. Some talk of shielding the scrotum when using IR lamps, and I think it is an excellent idea if you still wishes to create more replicas of yourself.

TrueTemper has the only plausible answer. Jelqing, even excessive or hard jelqing resulting in a “blown blood vessel,” will not affect the sperm or your ability to produce them.

Hmm but is the effect of heat temporary, simply effecting the batch in waiting. How much heat would you have to apply to prevent new sperm developing properly?

I recall, that research showed, that clothes that were to tight, and therefore hindered the dissipation of heat, could result in infertility.

Introduction to Causes of Male Infertility

Excerpt:
Heat and testicular function

The testes are located in the scrotum where the temperature is approximately 1 to 1.5 degrees Centigrade below the rest of the body’s temperature. This is achieved by special mechanisms that cool the blood coming into the testis. The cooler temperature in the testis is necessary for sperm production.

During illnesses that involve a fever, sperm production may be reduced until the fever passes. Similarly, when the testes are exposed to significant external heat on a regular basis, such as the excessive use of hot spa baths, this also appears to reduce sperm production. Failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum can result in damage to sperm production due to the higher body temperature of the abdomen.

There is ongoing debate about the effect of underwear styles on sperm production, and whether or not looser (cooler) boxer shorts should be preferred over tighter (warmer) briefs. Some research has suggested that wearing tight underwear may decrease sperm counts, although other studies have not found this to be the case. Doctors usually advise patients to reduce the possibility of heat stress on sperm production by avoiding regular hot baths and tight-fitting underwear.

So the question is (again): Boxers or briefs????????

I also found it difficult to see. Extreme changes changes in blood pressure affect not only penis but also nearby areas. Say for example you apply a tight tourniquet at the base of your erect penis and you are not conditioned enough. When you do that you also are pushing some blood out of your inside penis building up pressure in the nearby vessels pumping blood to the penis to maintain the erection in an opposite direction.

This happened to me. I was doing a very intense exercise involving only penis (I haven’t even touched my testicles) from a commercial pe webside (massive member or something) being fully erect according to instructions (many of their exercises were potential trouble makers - take erect stretches for example, I didn’t know thunder’s at that time). Next thing I know I have dull pain in my testicle. The ultrasound showed a blown blood vessel in the testicle. I stopped pe at that point and became very sceptical about it for a while. It took me close to 1 month to rid of the pain.
As to fertility part, I don’t know, I haven’t checked it yet.

Sparky91: Wow, I did not know that. Well you learn something new every day I guess. :)

Yeah I’d like to know this too, because when I warm up I heat the whole package, and I haven’t had any kids yet, so I don’t want to prevent myself from the future ability to do so.
