Jelqing technique

Can you tell me the safest and most effective erection level to Jelq at?

Is it ok to grip with the thumb running along the top of the penis? Will/can this damage the dorsal vein?

Or do you grip the penis sideways so that the pressure is applied at the sides?

bluenun,

The erection level for jelqing should not be max rock hard but works best when your dick is semi-erect and still has pliability when you jelq and squeeze it..

When I wetjelq, my lefthand grips my dick sideways, while my right hand grips my dick with the thumb on top. I’ve had no problems with these combination grips.

Thanks for the answers.

So you give your dick a workout from all angles :)
That makes good sense.

I seem to be prone to developing thrombosed veins (by clamping and hanging) so what I have been trying to do is wet jelq at about 50-70% erection with my left hand (I am left handed) and when I reach the top I pull the foreskin back down with the left hand before starting another jelq.

I have been jelqing with the thumb on the top of my penis but was concerned about damaging the dorsal vein.
I might try the sideways grip for variation though.

I think it’s safest to simply relax and trust your penis to be able to expand far larger than you can imagine. Don’t do anything that hurts. That’s a sign of danger. I think many of the people posting about dangers are reflecting the danger and terror that’s shown to us all the time in the media. Your body is perfectly designed and as long as you don’t abuse it you will have no problems.
