Jelqing & Penis Enlargement

Penis enlargement can supposedly be traced back to ancient times, when Arabic fathers would prepare their sons for marriage by using a technique called "jelqing" which increased the size of the penis. This was done at a young age, since marriage was usually effected between thirteen and seventeen years of age. Some argue that the word "jelq" is a corruption of "jerk" as in "jerk-off". Whatever the case, "jelqing" has become the accepted term to describe a range of natural penis enlargement exercises.

Europeans are credited with the popularization (or re-popularization, as it were) of natural penis enlargement, with variations on the jelq technique. Many books have been written, detailing natural exercises which can increase penis length and girth. The supposedly Arabic/Saudanese techniques detailed by most authors are time-consuming, taking as much as 45 minutes in a single jelqing session. In spite of this, the jelq has been the most popular natural penis enlargement technique for some years, only recently making its way to America, and subsequently the Internet.

Natural penis enlargement is based on the idea that the cavernosa and spongiosum, the two pieces of spongy tissue in the penis, can be expanded to hold more blood. The technique to enable this is called the "jelq". The jelq depends on a milking of the penis, which uses a tourniquet hand to keep blood in the penis and a milking motion to move the blood around. An equivalent of the jelq method would be to fill a balloon partially with water and use one hand to clamp the end of the balloon, pushing the water into the end. Then, taking the other hand, applying slight pressure and pushing the water towards the end of the balloon. To continue with this analogy, the milking of the balloon would stretch the rubber, and the capacity of the balloon would increase.

Whilst the mechanics of jelqing are straightforward - involving a "milking" massage technique - the amount of actual information and support about jelqing and natural penis enlargement on the Internet is minimal. Most websites merely offer the same set of jelqing exercises, with no support or expertise to offer subscribers. There are exceptions however, Aaron Belmont and his multi-lingual penis enlargement website offer a credible and well thought out jelqing program with support and expertise. This is in contrast to most other jelqing websites that often leave subscribers with little or no support. Belmont says that his jelqing website is the oldest and most established on the Internet. "Our material has been ripped-off by other penis enlargement websites but they are shams. They don't offer any support or ongoing guidance and are a consumer rip-off. We have been developing and enhancing our program for years and are the only website to offer video demonstrations of all our jelq techniques. The fact that our website has been translated into six languages demonstrates our commitment to men everywhere."
