Just like magazines influence women to be a size 0 while wearing glamorous outfits, expensive perfume, and Jimmy Choo\u2019s, society has, for centuries, placed importance on the size of a <\/span>man\u2019s penis<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

And while it\u2019s been said that the average woman desires an average-sized penis, many men are going to extreme lengths to…improve their length. <\/span><\/p>\n

But is there an actual technique that works when it comes to <\/span>penis enlargement<\/span><\/a>? <\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to the world of jelqing – it\u2019s an interesting one, for sure.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Jelqing?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jelqing is a technique that doesn\u2019t require any fancy pumps or expensive tools. In fact, all you\u2019ll need is your hand, some lube<\/a>, a private space, a semi-hard penis, and some free time.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is jelqing? Jelqing is the act of stroking the penis in an attempt to increase the size. <\/span><\/p>\n

How To Jelq<\/span><\/h2>\n

Firstly, one should be warmed up (take a bath or use a warm washcloth) before attempting to jelq. A man should not be fully erect, but rather have an erection of about 70% in order to jelq. <\/span><\/p>\n

They will then hold their penis with their hand in such a way it resembles the \u201cOK\u201d sign (the thumb and forefinger touching), and apply slight pressure (without squeezing) while stroking the penis upwards. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to <\/span>use enough lubricant<\/span><\/a> while jelqing as not to cause any damage to the penis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The act of moving from the base to the tip should take around three seconds. It\u2019s suggested that one engages in this technique for 10 to 15 minutes, four to five times a week.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is done in an attempt to increase the blood flow to the penis, which is said to increase one\u2019s length.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: jelqing should not be done as a means or in the style of <\/span>male masturbation<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where Does The Technique Come From?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The act of jelqing is said to go back to ancient Middle East when fathers would teach their sons the technique in order to make them more attractive to women in hopes of finding a wife. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, the technique is still alive and well, with forums, videos, and step-by-step guides on how to jelq.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does Jelqing Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to professionals and a lack of concrete studies, jelqing has been found to have some disappointing results.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is said that jelqing doesn\u2019t actually work but rather, comes with a few negative side effects. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Jennifer Wider, M.D. and author, weighs in on the matter by saying:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there\u2019s not a whole lot of scientific evidence that proves that any of these penile enlargement techniques<\/span><\/i>\u2014<\/span><\/i>from stretching to pills to creams<\/span><\/i>\u2014<\/span><\/i>actually work.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She goes on to say:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if they work a little bit, the side effect risk far outweighs any potential benefit.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
