Penis Enlargement And The Jelq

Jelqing & Penis Enlargement

Natural penis enlargement exercises have been in existence for some time. The exercises themselves have come to be called the jelq. There are differing theories as to where the term jelqing comes from. Some say that it originated in ancient times, when Arabic fathers would prepare their sons for marriage by using a penis massage technique called jelqing which increased the size of the penis. This was supposedly done at a young age, since marriage was usually effected between thirteen and seventeen years of age. Others say the term jelq is a corruption of the word "jerk", as in jerk-off. Whatever the source of the word, jelqing has come to be the most widely used term for describing a range of natural penis enlargement exercises.

Whilst it is claimed by some that jelqing is an ancient penis enlargement technique, Europeans are credited with the popularization (or re-popularization, as it were) of natural penis enlargement, with variations on the jelq technique. A number of books about penis enlargement have been written, detailing jelqing exercises which can increase penis length and penis girth. The jelqing techniques detailed by most authors are rigorous and time-consuming, taking as much as 45 minutes in a single jelqing session. Despite this, the jelq has become the most popular natural penis enlargement technique, 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 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.

On the Internet, the amount of detailed information about jelqing and natural penis enlargement is minimal. Most penis enlargement websites offer the same sets of jelqing exercises, with no support offered to subscribers. There are exceptions however. Aaron Belmont and the multi-lingual website he has created offer a well balanced penis enlargement program with experienced support and expertise available to users. This is in contrast to many other penis enlargement websites that often leave subscribers with little or no support. Belmont says that his website offers the high level of customer support required for a successful jelqing regime and that his site is the oldest and most established on the Internet. "Our penis enlargement exercises have been ripped-off by other 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 penis enlargement program for years and are the only website to offer video demonstrations of all our jelqing techniques. The fact that our website has been translated into six languages demonstrates our high level of commitment to men all over the world."

Belmont recommends that as with any exercise regime, following instructions and adhering to the specified penis enlargement exercise routines is important. "Penis enlargement exercises are no different to any other exercise program. Men should ensure that they are prepared to follow the routines to obtain a successful result from jelqing. There's no magic pill or penis enlargement capsule that will enlarge the penis overnight. It takes regular exercise over a period to see gains in penis size. Men need to be aware of that."
