Uncertainty about its side effects.

I have read many times that jelqing can make the penis thinner from the base. Is it true?

False if you follow the recommendations and listen to your PI.

Temporary size loss could happen if you mess up and go too fast, too strong for extended periods of time.

Anything you do, from working out, to trying a new diet, can have side effects that are negative. It is up to you to be careful. All exercise comes with risk, PE is no exception.

Personally, I have not heard of anyone getting thinner from the base from jelqing and I’ve seen and heard of plenty of good things both here and other places over the 7 years I’ve been at PE. Jelqing also has been nothing but good to me when I do it.

What is this, Start n Now thing.. Is it about size?

Do you mean in peoples signatures? In mine, it references my starting and current size. In many others it does the same.

Is that what you meant?

It is possible that Jelqing can enlarge the upper part of the shaft such that the base appears relatively thinner than the enlarged upper shaft. Clamping and pumping can help solve the “problem”.
