What is Jelqing?

What is Jelqing

Exercise is an important part of living a healthy lifestyle.  We lift weights to build muscle mass, we take a job or walk to burn calories and gain stamina.  Many of us never even consider that keeping the penis healthy is not only important to maintain good sexual health, but did you also know that keeping it healthy is necessary for good overall health?

Jelqing is perhaps one of the oldest methods of male enhancement. It is believed that Jelqing originated from the Middle East (Arabic community) as fathers would prepare their sons for the act of lovemaking. Often thought of as milking the penis, Jelqing is an exercise that involves gently stretching and massaging the penis so that the tissues can stretch further.  Many belive that this exercise can help a man gain inches in length and girth. Think of it as giving the penis a workout.

The jelq exercise is thought of as the most natural method of male enhancement because it does not need the use of pills or devices. If done correctly it is considered safe and effective

As with any exercise routine, a warm-up is usually recommended. This could prevent injury or pain as it relaxes the tissues in the penis.  There are a number of ways to warm up the penis such as using a warm compress (like a face cloth) and wrapping it around the penis or taking a warm bath or shower.

Once the penis is warmed up, jelqing can begin.  It’s best to use lubrication to avoid pain or any discomfort. Many prefer baby oil. To begin, make an “o” with your thumb and index finger.  Start at the base of the penis and gently move it up to the tip. Again think of the motion similar to milking a cow.  This male enhancement exercise does not need to be done every day, 2-3 times a week for a few minutes each session is enough.  Make sure the penis is not fully erect.  The penis should only be partially erect during exercise. If an erection does occur, stop jelqing and take a break.  If you don’t, you may damage the tissues and blood vessels in the penis.

Many people swear that jelqing has offered them numerous gains particularly in girth.  Jelqing is considered safe when done properly and instructions are followed.  Results will not be noticed right away nor should they be expected.  Again this is a natural method to male enhancement which means it takes time before desired results are achieved.  If you’re wondering whether you should increase the time and frequency of this exercise routine, think again.  Over-exercise could end up doing more harm than good and chances are that it may cause permanent damage to the penis.

Should you want to see faster results, natural male enhancement supplements taken in conjunction with the jelq regimen may offer some added benefits.  Think of it this way, taking vitamins or eating healthy while keeping up with a good exercise routine delivers excellent results.

The following are some useful tips to keep the penis healthy:

• Avoid or limit foods high in saturated fat.  This clogs the arteries and prevents healthy blood flow to the genitals
• Wear comfortable clothing and avoid wearing tight underwear or tight jeans.  This could constrict the blood vessels around the penis and prevent good blood flow which will effect your erections. Moreover studies prove that there is a connection between tight clothing and low sperm count.
• Get plenty of rest.  The tissues in your body (particularly the penis) need to regenerate.

If done properly, the jelq can be an effective way to enhance erection size and quality which as a result improve penis function during sex – the moment where it counts the most.
