What is jelqing and how to perform it
If you know what bodybuilding is, then understanding jelqing will not be difficult. It’s the same bodybuilding, but for the penis.
The verb to jelq in slang means "to milk," and jelqing is an exercise, a training method that resembles the milking process in its execution scheme. Jelqing guides recommend How To Do Jelqing Exercises Step By Step For Beginners to train this way.
1. Apply lubricant to the penis
It can be lubricant, warm vaseline oil or, for example, baby oil.
2. Achieve partial erection
By stroking, achieve a rise of the penis to 50–75% of its highest point. Do not bring it to full arousal! For jelqing, it is important that the penis is not fully hard: blood should circulate calmly and unobstructedly.
3. Form an OK symbol with your fingers
Bring your thumb and index finger of whichever hand is comfortable for you into a ring. This position is called the OK grip.
4. Start the massage
Perform the OK grip at the base of the penis. Position your thumb and index fingers to apply pressure to the penis — not too strong, it should not hurt. Raise the ring of fingers from the base to the head of the penis as if trying to push, "milk" the blood from bottom to top. When your fingers reach the lower part of the head, release the grip.
Each movement from bottom to top should take 2–3 seconds. Repeat it 100 times — this should take about five minutes.

Can jelqing increase the penis size?
Of course, supporters of the method say "Yes!" And they even provide arguments Jelqing: Can Men Jelq for Improved Erections & Penis Size? , why this should work.
For example, this: "milking" increases blood flow to the penis, and as a result, the organ trains to accommodate more blood during an erection. Or this: jelqing causes micro-tears in the tissues of the penis, which are replaced with connective tissue. The penis is kind of covered with a mesh of tiny scars that give it extra volume.
The problem is that there is no scientific evidence for these arguments.
No studies on the effectiveness of jelqing have been conducted. The reason is that doctors see no grounds to seriously double-check such nonsense. “Supporters of jelqing obviously do not understand how the penis works,” states Does Jelqing Actually Work? The «Ancient» Technique Is Said to Make Your Penis Bigger , for example, Dr. Jesse N. Mills, a medical doctor and urologist specializing in surgical and medicinal methods of penis enlargement penis.
A link to the first and seemingly only study on jelqing was published The First Ever Study Done on Penis Jelqing — Results are Lackluster at the end of 2018 on Reddit. Only seven men participated, who "milked" their penises 200 times daily for three months.
The results were, to put it mildly, lackluster: the average increase in length was 0.13 inches (about 3 mm), in girth — 0.3 inches (about 7 mm). Some participants saw no changes at all.
Even the author of the study, one Jeff Ferrara, a men's sexual health specialist, was forced to admit Jelqing Results from PG Medical’s 3-Month Study (Before and After Photos) : jelqing does not have any significant effect on the size increase of the erect penis.
If you want to try jelqing, you need to understand: you will be doing it only for pleasure. The penis will not become longer from "milking".
If you still want an increase, it’s better to work on your excess weight. As soon as you get rid of the fat around the pubic area, the penis will start to appear larger. Hair removal may also help: by removing hair from the pubis, you will make the penis more noticeable and visually longer.
