Jelq question.

Hello.

This question is inspired by the thread below, “what a jelq should feel like”, but I thought I’d start a new thread since it’s different.

I hear people saying that jelqing is essentially similar to masturbation. Do you think, generally speaking, that if the penis can “handle” an intense masturbating session, it can also “handle” jelqing? Without pain or injury, I mean. Or is there something inherently different between the two actions?

Sorry if this seems like a newbie question, but I thought experienced jelqers would be better able to answer it.

Thanks.

If you look at it from a comparison point of view, then Yes, they are similar.

But there are other things like shaking your dick after a pee when expelling the last drop (this sounds disgusting)! or when washing it or even when just shaking hands with it.

The essential difference is In what way are you going about handling your dick!

In Masturbation, you deliberately bring on an erection. So Stimulation is the main object, and your mind is concentrating on that. The same goes for all the other actins you perform on junior. .

So to put jelqing under the microscope you have to consider what are you intending to do.

In this case it is to stretch your penis and your thoughts and actions are directed to this procedure.

The other actions also have a specific purpose. And any one of those actions mentined can lead on to masturbation, But you stop short of actually allowing it (well hopefully)

I suppose it resembles the gears in a car. 1st is to transfer as much power to the wheels. second and third are more concerned with getting up to the working speed, and the top is for letting all hell loose. The same ‘actions’ are being performed, but the result is different

It simply boils down to what you are actually intending to get out of what you are doing, with the same movements.

Which really just leads us back to the beginning. And to the realisation that there is no real answer to the question

I think the fundamental fluid dynamics are different.

Generally speaking, masturbation is about skin friction, and any pressure applied is uniform. and to a penis that is erect, and thus more resistant to pressure changes. I wouldn’t guess that the basic pressure of the penis would fluctuate greatly during masturbation.

Jelqing, by contrast, is done with a partially erect penis, which means that pressure applied NONuniformly can result in the penis having low pressure areas and induced high pressure areas at the same time. By definition, jelqing done properly is going to cause significant variation in internal pressure.

So it would be my guess that just because one employed an intense masturbation style, that would not be proof against pain or injury from jelqing.

Thanks for your responses, guys. I was starting to get discouraged. Thanks a lot. :)

I guess my question was more complicated than I had anticipated. My question was more about “internal pressure”. I was wondering whether my penis could handle some light jelqing, if it could handle some heavy masturbation, and then I could just increase the pressure gradually, over time, from there.

I am very wary of beginning jelqing, since I hurt my penis in the past and do NOT want to do it again. But I really want to jelq, especially after seeing all these great gains on this site. It would be a real shame if I could not jelq. A real shame. ;(

Thanks again, guys!

Start light and limited duration, and be careful. Watch your PIs.

Thanks Lampwick, you are the man (Petitfaun too).

One of these days I’ll donate, I’ve just got to get some things sorted out.

Cheers.
