Was this a bad idea

Ok so I’ve always had a little trouble really feeling the jelq working. I feel like my unit stays the same size throughout the session, so I thought I would try something a little different.

After warming up in the shower and doing some light stretching, I began jelqing. I kept the erection level at about 50-70% (definitely wouldn’t consider it very high). But here is what I did differently, and maybe it’s what I was supposed to be doing all along- I started using the “ok” grip at the base of the penis and HOLDING it at the base for a second or so. I would then see the veins in the shaft start to appear more pronounced, and then I would slowly jelq upward. I’m guessing this is basically a combination between a clamp and a jelq.

HOWEVER, here is the bad news, and I guess I had this coming. I was so happy to really be feeling the jelq, I got a little over excited. On one stroke, I felt a bit of pain on the top of the shaft. I stopped jelqing immediately and called it quits for the day.

The little guy feels ok right now but I can still feel the pain distantly. So I have two questions now- 1) If I use less pressure, is this “clamp and jelq” method a good idea? And 2) Will my penis be okay? :(

Your technique sounds a lot like mine. I think it is very effective and as long as you keep it below a pressure that would cause pain like that, I would highly recommend it.

I’d say your penis will almost certainly be okay. I’ve over done things once or twice and as long as I give it a rest until it feels better, it’s all good. Just make sure you ease back into it after a few days rest. If you jump right into a max effort, you can make your injury worse.

Thanks slipstream, I needed to hear that. I am still a beginner, and even though I trust in what PE can do, I won’t deny that it really scares the shit out of me. Some of the horror stories I’ve read on here about people breaking their penis makes me shudder.
