I’ve never jelqed consistently becasue I had fat injected for girth in 1997. When I did jelq for a while it caused the fat to become uneven. I’m hoping to have the fat removed in feb or march, so might start to jelq after that. But I’m unsure about jelqing. In my opinion too much is assumed about it’s safety compared to other forms of PE. Because it was the core of PE originally, it’s always spoken about as the main exercise and newbies are told to do as part of their routine, before going onto to more intense routines. But this isn’t really founded on anything and when I read the injury forum, jelqing seems to be the number 1(PE related) culprit when it comes to the more serious injuries, such as firm flaccid or possible venous leak etc. I’m wondering if an entirely new approach isn’t worth exploring.
According to one of the polls here, clamping is the most effective exercise for girth, so it would be interesting to see if gradual clamping is not infact safer and more effective the jelqing. Maybe start by light clamping for a minute or two and build up over the weeks and months in terms of intensity and length of sessions. But having said that, I might well jelq, i just want to be sure I’m going to do the safest and most effecient routine, as my penis has been though enough with the surgery etc and I don’t want to risk damaging it any further.
At some point I’m planning and creating some polls about how guys got their more serious injuries and how these stack up against the proportion of people that jelq, hang, clamp etc. Basically this site is nearly 10 years old and though there are hundreds a threads about possible theories on how we gain etc, we rarely use the information available to us and often simply assume (the ligs argument perhaps being an exmaple of that as there are close to 50 member who had have them cut and the large majoirty saw little benefit). I think seeing as next year it is the 10th anniversary of Thundersplace a few polls to see which exercises are proving to be the most efficient and which have the best and worst safety records would be a good idea.
