Wet jelq versus dry jelq

Has anyone good experience or knowledge regarding gain comparing wet and dry jelqing? Most people suggests that you do wet and that seems also to be most common. However, dry jelqing has a lot of advantages. For example, I from time to time have trouble sleeping and while you are already awake in the middle of the night, you can mind as well do some jelqing and still stay in bed. I am also travelling quite some and boring hotel stays is not quite as boring if you can do you PE exercises. But I would like to avoid to carry lubricants through the x-ray in airports.

So, my basic question is how much worse dry jelqing is comparing to wet?

One is really no beeter or worse than the other. with dry jelqing you use a lublicant and with wt jelqing you have a lubricant. Buyt don’t forget if you are travelling you can always use body moisterising lotion. No-one is going to look sceptically at that. I find that moisterising lotion with a few drops of water is as good as any. And it’s easily wiped off.

If you are uncircumcised and have a reasonably loose foreskin you can dry jelq quite happlily without lubricant.

Hope that helps.

I always jelq under the shower, that’s a way to do wet jelqs to I suppose :P

I’m not sure about dry jelqing, but if you moisturize the skin of your penis it becomes more flexible, so I think that’s a big advantage over dry jelqing. And it just feels better then dry jelqing.

I personally prefer dry (more convenient and feels better). Though I do both. For me, I look at it like barbell curls vs dumbbell curls…
It’s essentially the same exercise, but they work the “muscles” just a bit differently. I think the variety helps.

Also, I am circumsized, but I still find dry jelqing without lubricant to be quite simple.

I find that I have a better workout doing dry jelqs, with the lubricant sometimes you loose feeling and begin to get too soft. (My dick is anywhere form 60-80% erect when jelqing)

Come over to the dark side of hanging young Jedi,then the airport will ask yo why you have 10 pound of steel in your bag. LOL, my guess is use the hotel soap or some times they have lotion depending on the dump.

I prefer dry jelqing. I’m trying to get more girth and I’ve found that when doing 80% or 90% erect jelqing that the dry jelqing is much more powerful. Wet jelqing seems to have a more pulling feel to it and dry seems to have a more expanding feel to it. Plus it’s less messy and more convenient. That’s what I’ve come to find anyways.

Thank you guys. You tell the things I intuitively felt as well and confirms my idea about dry jelqs. I just wanted to make sure that I did not miss any gains ;) .

I agree with this, I do much more wet jelqing, but when I do dry jelqing I feel more of an expansion while with wet jelqing I feel more pulled. It’s still hard for me to get a good dry jelqing rhythm going though, I’ve heard that it takes some time to get the technique down and I couldn’t agree more. Did any of you guys struggle with dry jelqing in the beginning?

Lets say you are circumcised and you dry jelq. It’s a lot harder do to the less amount of skin, but will the skin eventually stretch a little?

I personally prefer wet jelqing and have made far more gains from it than dry, but not everyone is the same.

I agree with what has been said regarding wet jelqing having more of a “stretching” effect while dry jelqing creates more of an “expansion” feel. With wet jelqing you can maintain constant tension and get a continuous stretch. By varying the pressure and speed you can get more or less expansion. By pausing at the end you can add some stretching in at the same time.

Dry jelqing has its place. It’s a little more convenient and easy to do a few here and there throughout the day. I still do it fairly regularly, and while it might help in maintaining gains I haven’t noticed that doing it or not makes a huge difference to progress.

As far as PE exercises go proper two handed wet jelqing is the most versatile and effective that I have found (for me).

I prefer wet jelqing, though I can’t seem to do the normal 3 second stroke. I do them quickly, otherwise I go to soft. Should I be trying for a 3 second stroke or would quick jelqs have the same effect?
