How to Jelq Properly - a Guide to Safe Jelqing Routine

Measure your penis properly before you start jelqing.

It is important to measure your penis properly before you start with jelqing exercises. This will help you keep track of your progress.

Flaccid measurement: To measure properly the length of your flaccid penis, place a ruler over it. Then, holding both your flaccid penis and the ruler parallel to the floor, measure the length from your abdomen to the tip of the head.

Erect measurement: While standing, angle your erect penis with your hand until it is parallel to the floor. Holding the ruler with your other hand pressed against your pubic bone and parallel to the floor, measure your penis to the tip of its head.

Girth measurement: Take a piece of string or measuring tape, and measure the circumference (girth) of your erect penis at mid-shaft.

Always start your jelq routine with a warm-up.

Jelqing is a penis enlargement exercise. And just as with any other exercise you need to warm up first. The hot compress draws blood to the penile area, increases the blood flow and makes the skin a little more elastic.

Take a wash-cloth, soak it in warm-to-hot water and then wring out. Make sure the temperature is not too hot. Wrap the cloth around your penis and hold it there for about a minute. Repeat several times and dry off your penis when you finish with the warm-up.

Always use a lubricant when jelqing.

It is very important to select a good lubricant for your penis enlargement exercises. Never use soap or shampoo! Using soap can irritate severely your skin and even dry it out, causing it to crack and peel for days.

Choose only lubricants that are skin-friendly. You could use petroleum jelly (Vaseline), baby oil, water based lubricants or specialized masturbation creams.

Perform the jelqing exercises in a semi-erect state.

Jelqing exercises are performed only when partial erection is present. You should not jelq when your penis is fully erect or when it is flaccid. If you have trouble achieving the needed partial erection, you can try the following trick: get yourself fully erect and then wait a while till it subsides somewhat.

Jelq safe, avoiding pain.

It is normal to feel a little discomfort when performing your jelqing exercises but not pain. Keep your penis safe and avoid pain - no penis enlargement solution should hurt. Jelqing does require some more pressure and a little bit tighter grip than regular penis enlargement exercises but only to the point of slight discomfort.

Know when jelqing is not safe but dangerous.

Learn how to read properly the signs showing you that you need to take a break for a day or two. Your penis health and safety should be put first, before enlargement. Here are a few symptoms you should be aware of:

• Blisters - they can occur if you have put too much pressure on your penis for too long. Keep safe and don't overdo it!
• Red sores - they usually result when you have stretched your penis too much.
• Fuzzy skin - sometimes when you apply too much tension, this can lead to tissue abuse or the so called fuzzy skin. You can feel it when you touch the affected areas. Basically, this represents partially dead tissue covering your penis.
