To return to the topic:
I began jelqing a couple months ago after I looked up the word “jelq”, having come across it in a forum on Men’s Health or Esquire or somewhere. I found Thunder’s, and the possibility of getting bigger was enticing - it was just something I hadn’t ever considered (I would have been jelqing for hours a day as a teenager if I’d known). I don’t like fake breasts and I don’t like the idea of a penis implant, but jelqing seems more like weightlifting and doing it doesn’t bother me in the same way that inserting plastic under the skin does.
I was pretty half-hearted at the beginning because - like the thread title says - I’m already pretty big. 7.5in x 5.6in (8in long with bone-pressed). And I’m married and she likes my penis. But I started anyway, at the same time that I started a new weightlifting and exercise routine. After a couple weeks of jelqing 3-4 times per week in the shower (about 20min/session), I started feeling bigger, if only a little bit. One day after sex my wife said something about me being thicker, which she attributed to my weightlifting and working out - “because it got the blood pumping”. I didn’t correct her, but it got me excited to get even bigger. I don’t know how much I actually gained during those weeks, but it can’t have been much - and it might not have been anything physical at all, just more confidence. But knowing that even a small difference was recognisable by the wife was a big boost for me and made me want to continue jelqing with a real plan.
The other thing that motivates me is to be bigger flaccid. I love showing off my package in tight jeans or trousers (always dress to the right because the zipper stitching on the left obscures the outline) - I don’t actually want it to lead to anything, but I do like the glances. It just turns me on to watch a woman’s eyes casually scan my package and then hover for a split-second, impressed with what she sees. Sometimes she looks up to my face and then looks away quickly, or if we’re on public transport she waits until she thinks I’m not looking at her and she takes another, longer look. The best is foreign tourists who treat everything around them as foreign - including me - and they just stare obviously and even talk to each other about me in their language. One French woman said “Whoa - he’s more than enough for me” (in French of course) and even just casual references like a German woman saying to her friend “I see everything” turns me on.
Anyway, the bigger I am, the more reactions I get. An average day I’m about 5 x 4.5 flaccid, which draws a good amount of attention. When I’m close to erect, like 6.5 x 5.25, just about every woman I pass looks at my bulge. I’m slim build and I wear pretty tight trousers, so it just stands out. Even when totally flaccid, it’s pretty obvious. The downside is that it’s hard to hide when I’m in polite company (or with my family!), but I would love to be 6 x 5 flaccid. To be so seriously large seems sort of like a beautiful woman showing off her gym body. She doesn’t have to dress in a miniskirt and tube top to be impressive; it’s enough that she dresses to show off her figure in subtle ways - to see just how great her tits are or her ass is when she leans over or turns to the side. The same thing with my penis: not every woman looks, but when they do I want them to see that it’s big and to be impressed. It just puts you on a different footing with lots of women - a lot of my wife’s friends have noticed my penis at one time or another. Not because I’ve shown it off to them, but just in the course of spending time together they notice it, like how I notice their breasts. Almost all of them look a few times, just to make sure what they’ve seen is real. And a few of them have even talked about it with my wife, which turns me on so much. There’s always great sex with the wife after we talk about other women looking at my penis. (Even now, to be perfectly candid, I’m getting an erection as I write this, just thinking about all those women who’ve looked at me with lust.)
So to sum up what has become a very long post: I jelq because I like pleasing my wife more and I want to be an even bigger (haha) object of desire. Other guys please respond - this is the most interesting thread on here for me to read.
