Alright guys, I’m sharing my actual journey with jelqing after trying it for months. Didn’t know squat when I started, just heard dudes online raving about it. So I dove in blind – big mistake.

Why I Even Tried This
Stumbled on forums saying jelqing boosts size and erection quality. Saw dudes claiming insane gains like extra inches – sounded too good. Thought I’d test it myself since it’s free and just uses hands.
My Boneheaded Beginning
First session was a comedy show. Squeezed too damn hard doing the “OK grip” stroke. Felt weird, almost hurt after 5 minutes. Next day my johnson looked slightly swollen and felt tender. Still pushed through daily routines because those forum bros said “no pain no gain”.
What Seemed Like Benefits
After 4 weeks, noticed two things:
- Morning wood felt crazy strong like steel pipes
- Got random erections throughout the day watching Netflix
Fooled myself into thinking “Hell yeah this works!” Even measured weekly hoping for size changes. Spoiler: zero actual growth.
The Scary Part That Nobody Talks About
Woke up one Tuesday with dark bruises near the base. Panicked and stopped cold turkey. Doctor later confirmed mild tissue damage from improper technique. Worst part? My dick kept randomly going soft during sex for three weeks afterward. Performance anxiety hit maximum levels.

What I Wish I Knew First
- Pressure kills: Should’ve used baby oil and barely squeezed
- Patience ain’t optional: Needed rest days, not daily abuse
- Zero regulation: No medical studies backing those forum claims
Would I recommend it? Hell no. Saw temporary erection changes but not worth risking permanent damage. Those minor benefits vanished after stopping. If you absolutely must try this? See a damn urologist first. Trust me, bruised junk isn’t sexy.
