Men looking to enlarge their penis are likely to start using penis pills first. Once they discover that penis pills are mostly nonsense and at best probably only provide temporary size gains, they’ll look elsewhere.
Usually it is penis pumps that become the second form of enlargement that men investigate. This may sound interesting, but the idea of inflating your penis also puts many men off.
Ultimately, penis jelqing will appear as a form of enlargement. This approach is likely to seem the most appealing as it involves manual exercises and does not involve the primary use of pills or pumps.
When guys look into jelqing, they quickly realize that it takes 4 or 5 days of exercise during the week, and the results will take several weeks. Some guys will then go back to pumps, as the idea of just putting your penis in a tube and pumping starts to sound a bit easier than manually exercising with your hands.
But then of course guys will see the cost of good water based pumps and then feel like buying a straight jelqing program would be cheaper and less risky as far as side effects go.
So for a lot of guys it all comes down to jelqing versus pumping. Which should you try first?
A good approach is the following:
-
Try jelqing first. Many guys have reported making decent gains from jelqing routines. It tends to be considered “more legitimate” than pumping. And the potential side effects are much less.
-
Do a good jelqing program. Just because you’re jelqing doesn’t mean you’re winning. You really have to get into a good routine to get the right sets and reps, while making sure your hand position is correct and you’re employing warm-ups, cool-downs, and additional manual stretching techniques.
-
Be patient and persistent. If you try jelqing first, you need to give it time to work and you need to be persistent about doing the exercise. You can’t do 5 days one week and then 1 day the next week, some days the next and so on. You have to stick to the required number of days per week.
-
See where you are in terms of jelqing results after several weeks. Many men will watch their progress for several weeks and decide if they want more size or if they are satisfied.
Testing pumps after jelqing.
If you really want to try penis pumps, consider doing so after you’ve tried jelqing. But first you need to wait a bit and give your penis a break before jumping into a new way of enlarging.
Pumps can give the illusion that they are working immediately. In fact, the results after a pumping session may very well be larger. But this is just a temporary larger size.
So you may find yourself saying “why have I been jelqing all this time when I could have been experiencing size gains since day one with the pump?”
But again, any initial gains are only temporary. To gain size permanently through pumping, it will take another several weeks, similar to jelqing.
What about jelqing and pumping at the same time?
This is not recommended. Jelqing and pumping at the same time can easily be overkill and can do more harm than good. It’s too much for a beginner just starting out. Choose one or the other.
Now, if you’re advanced, then that’s another story. You may be able to handle both jelqng and pumping as you will get to know your body better and have more experience with each.
