Jelqing

One method of penis enlargement that you have probably heard about is called jelqing. But do you know what it is?

Beyond sounding like it was pulled right out of the middle ages as some form of method of interrogation, it is a fairly common method and theory for enlarging the penis. If it works is another question all together. But before we answer that, let's take a look at what this method is all about.

Jelqing, which is also sometimes referred to as “milking”, is supposed to enlarge the penis by thorough exercising the smooth muscle as well as other tissue in the penis. By doing this, the maximum size of the erection is expected to permanently increase.

It would be irresponsible of me not to point out that it really isn't known what factors stimulate the growth and rearrangement of smooth muscles. And there is no scientific proof that penis enlargement can be achieved through jelqing.

For those of you that are still interested in trying to make your penis bigger with this technique I will explain how it works. But do so at you're won risk. I am sharing this form of “milking” for information purposes only. If you've read my website, you know what I think about penis enlargement, and why it is both a waste of time and money. If you want to impress the ladies, there are things you can do, and they have nothing to do with breaking your penis.

There are risks involved with jelqing, and you have to ask your self if trying to achieve a larger erection is actually worth risks.

If you burst a blood vessel, you may start bleeding from the urethra. This is dangerous, because it can lead to an infection and cause other complications. If this happens, make sure you get to a doctor immediately. This can lead to either a temporary or in some cases permanent erectile dysfunction.

As for penis enlargement through jelqing, the method is supposed to work as follows. Typically you apply a hot compress (not scalding, don't burn yourself) on the genitals to warm them up. Next you wrap your thumb and index finger around the penis while it is semi-erect. Now you repeatedly draw your member away from your body, this causes blood to be forced into the glans. What this is supposed to do is create more vascularity in the corpus cavernosa and surrounding tissue.

After you're finished, the same hot compress is usually applied to the scrotum.

There are four stages of arousal, by applying the hot compress during jelqing, you are attempting to duplicate the third stage, heat. It is believed that it is at this state that the glans reach their maximum potential of growth. Applying a warm washcloth is supposed to encourage this to happen.

Besides this method, companies have created many different tools and instructional material that do the same thing. What you're paying for is essentially the same technique rolled up in a different package.

If your goal is to have better sex, penis enlargement will never do that for you. Most men look things like jelqing as a way to boost low self esteem. If you're still not convinced, you should read my article on the average penis size and get your head straight.
