This is part three of the five part series outlining a beginner penis exercise routine. The following exercise, called The Jelq, is one of the oldest and most famous techniques for exercising the penis. While the exact origin of this exercise is not known, many believe it was developed within the Arabic culture and that it dates back several hundred years.

There are many advanced jelq methods and while the following is only the most basic, it remains a great starter exercise for strengthening and thickening the penis. In essence it works by increasing the flow of blood to the Corpora Cavernosa which over time expands and stretches. This stimulates the soft tissues and cells within the penis and, after adequate rest and healing, allows them to develop and rebuild stronger.

The Jelq

Prior to starting this exercise, the Warm Up Cloth and Long Stretch, both detailed in parts one and two of this series, respectively, should be performed.

The jelq technique can be done either in a sitting or standing position. Beginning with a partially erect penis, grasp the base of the penis between index finger and thumb using an ‘OK’ sign hand gesture. Using a firm grip and moderate pressure, slowly slide your hand down the penis driving blood into it’s tip. This motion is often referred to as ‘milking’ in penis exercise routines. It is important to do this very slowly, taking at least 4-5 seconds for each sliding stroke.

As your hand nears the end of the shaft, grasp the base of the penis with your other hand using the same grip and release the hand that has reached the head. Perform the exact same milking procedure again, only this time with the opposite hand that is now near the base of the penis. As that hand reaches the tip of the penis, once again re-grasp the base with your free hand and release your grip on the hand that has reached the tip. This method follows a sort of ‘pass over’ system and should be easy to adopt with practice. Perform the entire cycle approximately 8 to 10 times for each hand.

The stimulation from this jelqing technique will force the cells within the penis to become engorged with blood. With adequate healing and recovery, these tissues will adapt to hold a greater volume of blood.

If you’ve never done this penis technique before, a certain amount of soreness should be expected. However, like any other type of exercise, your body will learn to adapt over time to the new stimulation.

As mentioned previously, there is always a risk of injury if these penis exercises are performed improperly or excessively. Professional guidance from a reputable source is always recommended. A natural exercise program, like the one from PenisHealth, provides excellent workout routines for both beginners and advanced users alike.
