Jelquing overhand?

Well, heres the thing,
I seem to have aggrivated my jelq injury on the right side again.
This makes it slightly painful to jelq.

BUT, on Friday I tried jelqing palms down (overhand) and I got no pain and even seemed to get more blood into the penis! :)

Thing is though, I have read that doing it overhand may do damage to the dorsal nerve (someone on this board posted that it weakened his erections or something, but when switching to palms up the problems dissappeared) , … Not sure who it was, but he said that he still finds palms down to be the best way to jelq.

Any input on this welcome.

BTW, My palms up way seems to be more of ‘palms sideways’ and really puts lots of strain on the side of my cock.
__Mabye this is why I have a width of 2” when erect but only 5” girth all around! —- A real plank of wood, hey! :D

Come to think of it, this new type of jelqing that I tried has the stroking done more like milking a cow, I’ll explain…

_First put your hands together like you were praying,
Next, turn the tips of your hand toward your face,
Next, make OK symbols with both hands while keeping your wrists in thier current strained state,
Next, put your hands down near your cock.
__This is how I jelq now.

Cheers,

I jelqed a couple of weeks palms up and then tried palms down. Overhand seemed a lot better, I had a better grip because the shape of my fingers better accommodated my penis. Thus it made it easier to push blood forward. There is less danger of damaging the nerves that run along the top of the penis too. I was able to get a better position to not pull as much skin forward (as I’m worried about turkey neck effect). So far I’ve gained just short of 1/2 inch this way, gonna keep at it.

Actually, I think there may be an interpritation problem here.
This way that I have quoted myself just above is the new way I have tried.

There is a difference between twisting your wrists inward like the way I describe in my ‘praying style’ and the simple thing of the palms actually being up or down.
__I guess that I should have named the thread better. :homer:

BTW, I am not religious, but this is the best way I could think of to explain this way I have found to jelq.

I really think that overhand would cause less probelms with the dorsal neurovcular bundle. When I do them it is the web that is over this area, my thum and first finger apply pressure to the cc’s and my second finger sweeping underneath applies pressure to the cs. When I use underhand (rare) the thumb puts pressure square across the dorsum of my dick (where the bundle is). I also think that a fuller stroke is more likely with overhand as I can get the ok closer to the pubic bone.

This is alot better explanation than my ‘praying style’. :up:

But remember when I am doing this new jelq I have the OK sign facing my pubic bone and NOT away from my body. —- Not sure if this makes a difference but I seem to get more blood in my cock.

Sounds like your method and mine are very similar — OK sign close to the body lets you get to the base of the penis and squeeze all the way up, and unless your elbows are double jointed that will mean that the web between thumb and forefinger rubs along the top of the shaft. I tried it other ways but that seemed to work best for me — gained more than 2.5 inches in length during my first year.

I used to jelq overhand. I switched just because most people seem to do it palms up. I do agree with luv, in that I am able to get my OK closer to my pubic bone and catch more blood for a better engorgement and stretch. I really don’t know anything about the nerve locations though.

I started jelqing palms up because it seemed easier. But a few months ago, I chaged to palms down. I think you definetely get more blood because you can get further down on the base and the overhand grip makes me point my penis toward the floor helping the blood to stay toward the head.
