Jelqing at 100%

Though I don’t suffer from ED, I took some cialis the other day. When I went to do some jelqing I got an erection at 100% and it barely subsided through the entire session. I know that it’s advisable to do jelqs at about 75%, but I know that there are some that do them at 100%. It would seem to me that one would still get gains from them. Any thoughts?

I use to jelq with a high erection gains were minimal. However it is better, and safer to do it at 60-90%.

I don’t get it, if you can even jelq at 100% doesn’t that mean your erection is pretty soft? I’ve tried it, the penis is too rigid and hard and it won’t even bulge, the skin is just sliding on the shaft.. I think it’s called masturbating! :)

I’d have to disagree, Dicko - I can get a good Jelq at 100% and I’m rock solid. “100%” is a bit of a misnomer as it doesn’t really equate to absolute capacity, but rather a full natural erection. Jelqing in this state allows you to push your penis beyond its normal comfort zone, beyond its typical/natural “full” capacity. This is also what Ulis and Clamping do: they push the limits of the penis with the theory that ultimately those limits will increase.

That being said, I quit doing it at 100% for fear of injury. And I feel like I get more out of lower intensity Jelqing.

That’s been my experience too. I don’t get the usual feeling of compression and expansion ahead of the pressure. It just doesn’t feel as “deep.”

Whether that makes it less effective or not is questionable, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it’s doing anything.

I did and still do high erection jelqs. Fortunately for me, I have yet to get an injury from it and my gains from using it were pretty constant and were pretty decent. They target girth more than length by far.

Not reccommended for newbies.

Edit. One should not be *100%* erect. But still very erect. The grip needs to be a lot tighter than normal.

My experience as well. I can only jelq at 100% with a c-grip or a power jelq device, otherwise I just slide along.

It’s not a good idea to jelq at 100% erection level. So I’d recommend laying off the erection enhancing drugs pre-PE session.

Your penis is at it’s most vulnerable to damage when erect. This is one reason it is recommended to jelq at between 60 & 80% (and to clamp at around 80%). You still a have a little flexibility in the tissue, which protects it. It’s also thought that this flexibility is what helps to make stretching the tissues possible - which is where your gains are going to come from.

There are people who prefer to do more extreme forms of jelqing, etc., and some report success. The majority do not.

It’s your penis, do what you need to do, but I’d strongly recommend a lower erection level.

I need to experiment with lowering my erection level then.

Jelqing 20 minutes EOD I always start out with a strong erection 90-95%. During the session it may subside to 80%.

I don`t feel that I have had a good jelq session if I don`t do it this way. I am very consistent with good warm ups and slow comfortable movement. No injuries and no negative PI`s so far.

Lack of gains at 100 % jelqing was new to me, but perhaps there is something to it?

Anyone else jelqing at 100?;)

If you’re careful, which your description indicates Renholder, you probably aren’t doing any harm.

Start at a bit lower level and see how it works for you. When the penis is more flexible you’re likely to stretch it a bit better.

Some say jelqing at higher erection levels will be more successful for gaining girth, while starting at a lower level will be better for length (as it it turns into a kind of stretching).

It makes sense to me.

That’s a big problem with the cialis, it lasts 24-36 hours. I usually have some porn on to help with the jelqing, but it might not be so necessary now. I’ll try it without it.

I used to jelq at 100% erections, but today I jelq at 70%, like Mr. H it’s not a good idea, but when you have a conditioned penis, it’s no problem in my opinion.

I always jelq in the shower every morning. I briefly warm up, edge until erection, then I do a set
of 50 jelqs. The erection usually subsides after a set to approx. 50-60% erection level.
Then I edge again to 100% and do the next set. I use baby oil for jelqing. I just do 5 sets
and my penis is pretty much pumped up after that.

One interesting thing I noticed is that there is a certain point during jelqing which feels very
different: as soon as the jelqing hand, ie the ring is formed with the thumb and index finger,
moves beyond the shaft towards the head there is a little discomfort. I am experimenting
with this point right now. I have read here that people say you should not jelq over the head,
but I am wondering why you should not - if you are careful. As always with PE the problem
is that there are no sound scientific explanations for many of the arguments and claims
given here. Anyway, I noticed that I get a lot more red spots if I carefully jelq over the head, but
they subside the next day. I does make my head a lot bigger though. Any comments on jelqing
beyond the shaft and over the head ?

You have to have an erection in order to edge.

I think you mean stimulate yourself to erection.

I think you should try to start at a a lower erections level. The idea behind jelqing is not to get a full erection and then squeeze the life out of it until the erection dies down.

It’s better to start at a lower level. Do more groups of shorter sets if you find your erection flagging. I think you’ll find that you have a better pump.

On the other hand, if you are getting gains and your approach is working for you, don’t change a thing.

There’s your answer. My theory, and it’s just a theory, is that you get enough expansion if you stop prior to the glans, go past it and you stress the glans out unnecessarily. I say unnecessarily because plenty of folks, myself included, have gained perfectly well without going over the glans.

Food for thought?

Agreed.

But even though anecdotal evidence is not scientifically verifiable, it shouldn’t be ruled out - particularly if enough people are reporting success.

I don`t fear injury at all.

I have had injuries in the past and I know when it`s too much.

If one is to do for instance squeezes and horses in combination with the jelqing session I totally agree that 100% is dangerous.

What caught my eye is the claim that jelqing is not as effective at 100% as opposed to lesser erection levels?

If I start jelqing at an 100% erection level, I typically get an expansion that we can say is 10%(just to illustrate) bigger than my normal full erect size.

If I start jelqing at 70% I would not get as much expansion, would I?

I`m mostly thinking in terms of girth now, as I totally understand that a more stretching jelq motion at a lower erection level would aid length gains.
