Jelqing has indeed gained a lot of popularity especially in the western world. These exercises have been known to mankind since several centuries now, however, it is only lately that men have realized the true potential of these workouts. Derived from the Arabic language, the word literally translated means ‘milking’. The motion of the hands on the penis is much like the milking of a cow and thus the reference. These exercises are not only completely natural; they also have absolutely not negative effect of the body in anyway. Unlike penile contraptions and creams and pills, these exercises do not expose the body to anything alien, but simply increase the size of the penis by increasing the supply of blood to the area. It must also be remembered that these exercises are not an over night benefit plan and only regular practice is likely to yield results here. Also one does not go to the highest intensity point on day one itself, but increases the rhythm slowly and steadily. So while for the first week it is good to do about 100 strokes each day, the second week sees the number double.

One keeps adding about 100 jelqs each week, till a target of 500 strokes per day is reached. It is crucial to keep in mind that when adopting these jelqing exercises one must not try and hurry it up. A warm up is essential and so is a cool down. For both of these, a person can use a warm towel in order to help the penis reach a semi hard state. Always remember that these exercises are not to be undertaken if the penis is fully erect. This can actually damage the tissue of the penis and result in some serious injury. It is also imperative that the head never be massaged.

When undertaking penis jelqing, remember that one must never ejaculate. The exercise is simply about allowing more blood to rush into the penis and ejaculation is not the idea at all. Always maintain a semi erect position while performing the exercise. Ensure that you use a lot of lubricants so as to not hurt the skin in the area.

Free jelqing advice is easily available on the net and one can even use the help of diagrams in order to learn how exactly to undertake the process. If need be one may also ask a physician about the benefits of these exercises and how to go about performing them.

Keep in mind that the rhythm and the force must maintain a steady flow rather than a rough and fast one. In case the skin of the penis hurts after performing these exercises, then the grip is most definitely too strong. Keeping these tips in mind will help you tremendously when jelqing.
