Jelqing in number or time

I am just curious, when people say that they do 500 jelqs or kegals, are you actually counting to 500 or do you know that you use say 3 secs a jelq and go for 1500 secs = 25 minutes? Is anyone actually counting that far? And still can hold the proper erection level?

I do not care for the number at all. I go for a certain time and vary speed and intensity during the session.

What is your method?

I have always counted every rep with my right hand. By that I mean when I jelq, I use both hands, one with the left hand and then one with the right so I in effect counted every second jelq and instead of aiming for say 400 jelqs, I would only have to count to 200. Does that make sense?

I bet some of us have some peculiar ways of counting. I count every jelq, with the odd jelqs done by the left hand, the even the right.

I suppose I would determine a maximum time, and then work within that time till I feel I’ve done the work I came to do, without causing excessive lymph buildup.

I never count jelq strokes. Always go by time.

Just go with time, I can’t count past ten!

I always go by time also. I can’t concentrate on porn, count reps, and keep my erection all at the same time.

I tend to count reps.

So to answer your question, it’s all down to personal preference!

I go by feel and mood.

Sure, but it always amazing to see that someone is so completely different from yourself. I just cannot imagine myself counting to 500 doing anything.
The closest I came is probably when I was younger and was doing 100 push-ups in the morning.

I count reps.

I have a team to nubile young women slowly gyrating in front of me. As I slowly jelq the first one counts off, “One.” And then the second and then third until we get to ten. Then the first begins again…

… Or more usually I just count the reps myself. ;)

Time….I jelq for 20 minutes, usually around 5 seconds per stroke.

Are you supposed to keep an erection during jelq? I start out with a partial erection (80%) and usually it subsides to about 40%. I think the most effective dry jelqs are those that are done around 30% erect. Am I doing this wrong?

What I said was “proper erection level”. That is the level that works for you, I guess. I also go from about 80% to down to 30-40% but then I have to bring up some naughty thoughts again to get it up at 80% :-) And if I were counting I would probbaly have a hard time doing so.
