I find just sitting on the edge of my bed and jelqing for 15 minutes straight regardless of state of erection is working great. It’s really thickening my penis in all directions, outward and around. I think the main thing is to be consistent and do it at least 5 times a week with maybe 6 times better. I’ve only been doing this a month but I have to say it’s really working for me and my routine seems to be much gentler and with much less effort than other routines I’ve seen posted here.
That jelqing device seems pretty neat in that it really mimics the jelqing motion with the hands - i know i sqeeze pretty close to that hard. But why do you need that when you can do it with your hands for much less? Two things I’ve found helpful when jelqing is to 1, do it seated, as the seated position is less stressful on the back as there is less reaching and your back can pretty much relax during it and 2, do not stare down at your dick on every stroke - try to do it with nice even strokes that require no looking down at all - again for the sake of your back cause you will put a lot of pressure on your spine with your head pulling down to look at your dick. Good way to get a chronic backache.
I’ve gained about a quarter inch in both directions using my from the base measuring method but to be honest - I’m considering abandoning measuring my dick totally. I look at it and it is clearly visibly bigger than it was before and that is what makes me happy. If it gets even bigger, than that’s great. But I don’t want to worry any more about my size - I dont want go from - well I feel my dick is small - I wish it were bigger - to my dick is not as big as that guys - I want to be bigger than him. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with wanting to have the biggest dick in the world. Just for me, I’m grateful to find something that really makes your dick progressively bigger. I’m already pretty satisfied with just the fact that my dick is a lot bigger than it was a month ago.
I’m a newbie but if I were to give any advice based on my limited experience it would be to not be too hard on yourself - physically with the jelqing or with the routine and emotionally - just be consistent. I think it is far better to jelq gently 10 minutes a day than to do it aggressively for 30 minutes twice a week. Make sure to have at least one rest day.
