angles of jelqing

I have been doing jelqing for a few weeks and I decided to jelq straight downwards last night. I didn’t expect to feel anything different, but I did. I can’t explain it, my lower abdomin really fealt an ache from it. I couldn’t locate exactely where the ache was coming from, it certainly wasn’t the ligs, that I know for sure. I then did a partial squat and tried pulling straight down with slow jelqing, and the feeling intensified. I experimented and that ache in the lower abdomin was non exsistant when pulling straight out. I couldn’t tell whether it was the internal penis being pulled which was causing the ache and feeling of fatigue. For some reason it wasn’t a localised ache which I could pin point.

Can any of you do me a favour today by trying what I decribed and letting me know if you feel the same thing, and what you think it is? Try bending your legs slightly whilst standing up, with a wide stance to allow you to pull straight down. Now with a tornique grip, pull fairly hard on your dick from the base, sliding it forwards slowly, over a 3 second motion, pulling straight down. This is best done with a 50% erection or less.

Thanks for any help. Suggestions as to what this is are also welcome and if anyone knows the feeling I am talking about, please tell me. I don’t understand why I can’t feel it when pulling straight out or above, and yet it isn’t even remotely like the feeling of the ligs being stretched. If it is the tunica or internal penis, I would have thought that feeling would be present in higher angle jelqing too, but it isn’t.

Hi mate I jelq str8 down it’s more intense workout that doing it str8 out in front of you, I sit down and do it in the shower.

Does the sensation continue after the workout is over? Perhaps you are unconsciously clenching your abdominal muscles?

You should edit that before the Spell Police comes lol :D

Too late.

I used to feel the stretch about half way to my belly button when hanging BTC. It’s the fascia over the lower abdomen. You’re getting a good lig stretch, which pulls on the fascia.

Hobby, I have a feeling it is something different than what you suggest. My ligs are loose and unstretched when I do it and I think I have an idea of what it might be.

My LOT is extremely low and this means my ligs are very slack. This allows me to pull down on my dick without giving my ligs a stretch. If the ligs are slack when pulling, it allows the internal penis to be pulled forwards out of the cavity. I think this might be what I am feeling. The deep sensation of my internal penis rooting being pulled on. I think that the root itself, and the tissue surrounding it, might be quite insensitive compared to the penis shaft. The same way a woman’s vagina is sensative near the entrance but is insensative deeper and can only feel numb pressures.

I might be very wrong here but I have a theory that pulling downwards is actually still beneficial when the LOT becomes very low and the ligs are already as slack as they can become. If the ligs are slack then what is stopping your penis being pulled forwards when you pull downwards? My answer would have to be that nothing is stopping that and to continue pulling straight downards would be making use of the fact that your ligs aren’t in the way of pulling your dick forwards anymore.

The tunica gets worked more when pulling upwards perhaps because the pubic bone above the penis is acting as something that causes the penis to bend at a right angle from it’s plane inside the body, which causes the force to go into the penis shaft and stretch it locally, especially at the point that the penis meets the pubic bone and the shaft between that point and the pulling force. Causing a possible right angled, vectored, anchor point.

Pulling downwards works less on the tunica perhaps because there is no pubic bone below the penis shafts entrance to act as a point for right angled, vectored anchoring and therfore there is no localised force to stretch the tunica from, causing the force to go to the weakest point instead of a vector point, which would at first be the ligs. So the ligs get stretched. Then, if the ligs have been stretched enough, the force will find the next weakest link, which is the ability of the penis to be pulled out of it’s cavity. The force will work on the weakest points (points of least resistance) due to there not being a vector anchoring point to localise the force mostly into the outer shaft and tunica, which are natural strong points.

I understand what you’re saying. No doubt the pubic bone acts like what we’ve been calling a “fulcrum rod” when stretching or hanging up. It’s a neat feature. :)

Could be. Another thought is maybe the ligs attached to the sides of your penis don’t have as much slack as the ones on top. Perhaps this could allow the LOT to measure low, but stretching down hard or extreme (BTC) tensions these ligs. Only speculating. If you are hitting the anchor points, it seems you should be able to do the same SO or OTS.

How does the feeling compare in location and intensity when you stretch:

1) 9:00 vertically, but to the sides. Pull across your upper thigh to the side.

2) BTC

3) BTC and to the side (reach under your leg - foot on a stool helps)

I think you’re right about the sensitivity of the tissue at the anchor points. When hanging OTS I feel a pull there, but it is a different sensation than stretching ligs.

With continued downward stretching, at some point the ligs will lengthen enough so the shaft/tunica will take part of the load. The problem with only hanging down or BTC is the ligs loosen until they share the load with the tunica. Obviously, 10 lbs. on one or the other applies more stress to the one being targeted than if they share the 10 lbs. Arm strength and endurance are limited. So is the amount of weight a guy can hang without problems. As Bib always says, divide and conquer.

Some guys have naturally low LOTs, and others have had their ligs severed. They aren’t the norm. If your ligs are already long, take advantage of it.

For most of us I don’t think time is well spent deliberately building in a bunch of extra lig slack because the excess doesn’t contribute to more expressed penis length. IMO, a guy is better off switching to upward angles until his LOT rises.

Hobby, you made some good points. I have now, over the last couple of days, come to recognise that it is most likely the fascia. I managed to locate the sensation in the frontal, lower abdominal area. Far away from the penis rooting. It took trying a few different positions inorder to build a nerve/neural map in my head so as to understand just what I was feeling and where I was feeling it. The brain doesn’t understand what it is feeling if it has never fealt it before.

It must be my vertically attached ligs which are being pulled, as you suggested, because my side ligs remain totally slack when I feel the sensation. The strange thing is that I don’t even feel my vertically attached ligs being stretched, or maybe the sensation just blends in with the fascia sensation.

Thanks for your help Hobby.

p.s. “fulcrum rod” sounds much better than my description. I couldn’t find the words to describe it mechanically. I think fulcrum apex sounds descriptively good.
