Noticed a ridge at the base while Jelqing

Hi all,
I’m getting back to PE after several years of not being able to due to life stuff.. I’m doing the newbie routine and reading as much as I can here, and just taking things slow and steady.

I noticed something today while jelqing.
When griping the base with the OK grip I try to grip as close to my body as possible. When I start to slide down the shaft, with in the first 1/2 inch there seems to be a ridge where the CC is bigger. I actually have to loosen my ok grip just a tad to go any further. If I don’t loosen my grip just a tad, there is some pain in the shaft around this ridge as I move forward. So here are my questions.

1. Is this normal, What is it?
2. Should I not loosen my grip and push through the pain, didn’t think that would be advisable but thus the question?
3. How will this smaller area affect my PE activities, if any?

Thanks for your reply,

It may well be a vein passing over that point. Never push through pain; pain is there for a reason. It probably won’t affect your PE at all.

I think I feel something similar while jelqing when I have it on 60-70% of total erection. But I can get pass this “ridge” without pain.
