When it comes to increasing penis size, jelqing or penis exercises are generally considered to be the most legitimate and successful approaches to consider. Here is the jelqing exercise in a nutshell:
Basically, jelqing is done by using the hands and massaging the penis with slow single strokes and alternating hands. Starting at the base, wrap your thumb and forefinger around the penis and gently massage upward just before the head, all in one controlled motion. Then you repeat with the other hand.
Sounds pretty simple, right? Well, although it’s not really that complicated, there are a lot of things that men do wrong when doing penile exercises. In turn, they see very little in the way of results. These are some of the most common things you should not do in regards to performing the jelqing exercise.
Do not avoid “warming up”. This is a common shortcut that guys take. They do not properly warm up the penis before performing jelqing exercises. What you want to do is get a cloth and put warm water on it. Then wrap that cloth around the penis and leave it there for a few minutes. Repeat one or two more times until you feel your penis warming up adequately. What this does is increase blood flow and prepares the penis for exercise. Once you are done with the jelq exercise, you should repeat the wrap with a warm towel, which allows the penis to rest and recover (which stimulates the beginning of the growth process).
Don’t be fully erect. To jelq properly, you must achieve a semi-erection. This means about 60% of an erection. Some guys automatically get fully erect and try to jelq from this position. That’s not how exercise works. Effective enlargement results always require a partial erection, not a full one.
Don’t dry jelq. This is a big mistake guys make. They try to “dry jelq” instead of taking a few seconds, and a little money, to get and use the lubrication. While “dry jelqing” exists, it really should only be reserved for advanced users. Otherwise, you should always apply lubrication before starting your jelqs.
Don’t stroke too fast. This is not masturbation, this is exercise. Many men are so used to the former that they start stroking too quickly when it comes to performing their jelqing moves. The movement should be slow and controlled, one hand at a time. Usually this means 2-3 seconds at least for the run up.
Don’t try to improvise (follow a good jelqing routine). It’s the same for people trying to lose weight or trying to gain muscle. If they don’t have a proper and disciplined routine, they will usually fail. You can’t just do a few sit-ups once a week, twice the other, and then take the rest of the month off. You have to have a routine that keeps you disciplined and makes you exercise regularly. This routine should be simple and easy to follow so you don’t get bored or confused.
Don’t expect results in a week. This is a big one! Exercise takes time and that is no exception with penis exercises. They just won’t work in just a week or two to reach the size most men are looking for. You have to follow the routine and be patient. It usually takes several weeks to notice increases in size. And don’t automatically look for length gains. Pay attention to girth (thickness) gains. Many guys experience girls first. And increased girth can be very important, especially to improve female satisfaction in the bedroom (women often prefer a thicker penis size to a longer, thinner penis size).
If you’re giving enlargement exercises a fair chance, then all of these things need to be in place. You must perform the exercise correctly with warm-up and lubrication, you must be patient and you must follow a good routine to stay disciplined and exercise regularly.
