Anybody else's dick look thicker in profile?

Absolutely. Now then, for me, the question is - How to target the two CC’s to gain top down width? With jelqing for example?

Logically it seems that a U-grip pointing downward (fingers on each side of the shaft) , with the most pressure to the sides of the penis would be best.

But really? maybe a U grip from the side (fingers on top and bottom of shaft), effectively flattening (widening) the penis in top view would be best?

It confuses the hell out of me.

The problem I would have with applying pressure to the side to increase depth is this:

when we put pressure on top an bottom, the fingers are in direct contact with both sides of both CC chambers. However, if we want to put pressure on the sides, we will only have direct pressure on the outised edge of each of th two CC chambers. We cannot put direct preasure on both the CC chambers individually this way. The pressure we apply, would:

1. Be shared amoung the two CC chambers, unlike with top/bottom pressure where both chambers get 100% of the finger force.

2. Probably some will be disipated/wasted in the compression of the tissue in between the two CC chambers (I am unaware of what this tissue is though).

So effectively we would need twice the force to have the same effect. Sounds dangerous to me!

That makes sense — so top and bottom “flattening” is the way to go.

Better go dust off my homemade “Power Jelq” then!

For what it is worth, in reviewing the Thunder’s PE manual on “Jelq sticks” and “Power Jelq” I came across this:

Jelq Sticks

“Jelq sticks can be used either on the top and bottom of the shaft (horizontally) or on the sides of the shaft (vertically). Using the sticks vertically has a better effect on girth gains, by placing direct stress on the corpus cavernosa, and also reduces the risk of dorsal nerve injury. Horizontal usage places direct stress on the corpus spongiosum, resulting in greater head expansion. However, the risk of dorsal nerve injury is also increased.”

My brain hurts!

It is my understanding that you should not apply pressure to the top side of the penis due to the dorsal nerve being there as it says in the blurb.

The webbing between your thumb and index finger cushions it with a “normal” jelq. I know that sometimes I might put a little twist on during the stroke, and I can definitely feel the sensitivity of that nerve.

Personally I am as scared of that nerve as I am of the head.

Good warning — yes the article says stop your stroke about an inch or more away from the head to avoid the dorsal nerve.

Ya that’s what I mean haha

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the CS?

For what it is worth, I know for sure that my dick is wider (looking down left to right) now than before. I am reasonably certain that I have gained much more in that direction than top to bottom profile.

In fact, I would say the vast majority of my girth gain has been from it getting wider. I only jelq and recently added squeezes. I use a “u” grip with fingers pointing down, palm down, and the majority of the jelq pressure is on the sides.

My dick often looks bigger from the side than the top

Hover your mouse over it and it will tell you (same for any other dotted, underlined abbreviation).

Sorry, but that didn’t happen. It wasn’t dotted in this post.

Works for me. Try letting the curser sit there a little longer.

Sorry. Still nothing.

You would want to do those “V” grip jelqs with an erection level under 50% for length. And around 70-100% erect for girth. With a feather lite grip and do the jelq very slow.

“V” grip jelqs and “you” grip jelqs are the same.
