By the way, the new newbie routine suggests only between 10-20 jelqs the first weeks (up to max 50-60) should I just go 1:1 for wet to dry jelqs? Also should I vary my grip, doing overhand ok at the moment because I can get closer to the base with it.
Although dry jelqs are convenient to do, they carry slightly higher risk, and for me cause considerably more discolouration and pressure in the areas most likely to create a baseball-bat shape. I personally considerably prefer wet jelqs to dry jelqs.
I suggest you try both for a few weeks, and make up your own mind.
At the level of the newbie routine, you can swap 1:1.
Jelqing seems easy, but there is fine art in having a good technique, and you will find that you fine tune your hand angles, which fingers you exert most force through, how you vary your speed to get just the feel you want etc.
Most guys prefer an overhand OK grip, but for straight up jelqs you may prefer an under-hand grip - just use the first few weeks to learn.
Feel is everything in jelqing. Numbers or time are far less important. After a few weeks practice, you will feel when you have done just the right amount of jelqing. Your ideal will be different to the next guy, because your speed of jelq, erection level, tunica toughness, etc., will be different.
Imagine dipping a smooth stick in runny honey, then using your OK grip to squeegee the honey off; that’s the feel you are looking for - you don’t need to squeeze any harder than that. You want to feel the blood moving in a ‘wave’ up your penis, gently expanding the tissues as it goes.
