For those who may be interested in a cheap device to supplement manual jelqing here's something I've made from PVC electrical conduit and end-caps from Lowe's. First the parts list:

Two 10 to 12 inch long lengths of 1/2 inch diameter grey electrical PVC conduit.
Four 1/2 inch end caps.
Four 3/4 inch end caps.

You'll need some PVC glue (usually found near where they have the conduit) I used the all purpose kind so I didn't have to buy the primer/cleaner also.

Assembly: first, smooth the sharp edges of the end-caps with sandpaper (very fine) and also sand and polish as smooth as you can the surface of the PVC length. This is the part that will contact your best friend so make it very smooth. I used a small file on the edges of the end caps and the finish grit wet-sanding paper like they use for car body repairs on both the end caps and the conduit..


next, very carefully apply a small amount of the glue to the ends of the conduit and slip the 1/2 inch end-caps over the ends. When those are firmly glued, apply a small amount of glue to the inside of the 3/4 inch end-caps and slip them over the 1/2 inch end-caps. Sometimes air gets trapped inside and the caps will want to slide back off so hold them on with your hands for a couple of minutes or until they stay on.

Now you should have a pair of miniature dumbbells. Make sure all the glue is dried and double check that all surfaces are smooth.

Perform your usual warm up and make sure you are semi-erect and well lubed. Place horizontally one "dumbbell" under your scrotum and the other on top of the penis at the base. Holding the ends together with your fingers so that everything is "pinched" between the lengths of conduit, with steady moderate pressure begin to slide the "dumbbells" along the length of the shaft of your penis, stopping before you push them over the glans. The movement should be outward and slightly downward as with the Jelq. Move the "dumbbells" back to the start position and repeat. You may want to alternate by just capturing the penis but I find it too easy to apply too much pressure that way so get some experience first. You will find that you can adjust the width of the gap between the "dumbbells" and control the pressure with your fingers as you hold the ends. Make sure you keep everything well lubed. I apply extra pressure at the end of the stroke to get a real good stretch but, be advised, you can really get some leverage with these devices so be careful to not let them go over the glans when you're at the end of the stroke. I've done that a couple of times. Ouch!

Hope you have good results. Feel free to email me with questions. If I were more of a techy I'd make and post a vid. Maybe someone else could.

Do you have some pictures of the assembled device?

Seems troublesome compared to simply jelqing.

Sorry, no I don't have pics. If you buy the materials (less than $15 U.S.) you will be able to figure it out. Or, just go to a big box home improvement store and look at the materials. I should have mentioned that the 1/2 inch conduit comes in 8 and I believe 4 foot lengths. But, it's cheap.

As for the "why not just Jelq" question....After spending the better part of the last twenty-five years doing some form of PE or another, I am always looking for ways to intensify and improve my workouts. The devices I have described in this thread are ones I use WITH the "normal" jelqing methods. There are no fast, easy ways to get results but there are techniques that work that someone out there who knows nothing of this forum may be using to get fantastic results. It's just something I do. I'm not suggesting it as an alternative to Jelqing or any other method of PE exercise.

Step 1: Go to Walmart, Target, or some other retail store that sells canning goods.
Step 2: Buy a Canning Jar Opener/Tongs (like this: http://theurbanfieldguide.files.word...n-69671853.jpg
Step 3: Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy some foam piping to fit over the black rollers of the jar tongs (you don't even have to do this)
Step 4: Jelq away. Check out the pictures of the $100 jelq device and tell me there is ANYTHING different from what you just made for a grand total of $10.

[dmaxon]

Gator has the right idea. Most of the commercial devices can be duplicated far cheaper if you just use a little imagination and patience.

Whatever you do as an alternative to manual jelqing should be an adjunct and not a substitute; unless, of course, that's what works for you.

Is using a device like this really like doing jelquing with your hands?

If they are rollers, you won't get the same pull as you do with your hands. Perhaps that's a good thing as it won't stretch your skin, but surely there should be some pulling force to aid with length gains?

No rollers. The lengths of conduit slide over the skin just like your fingers do. I believe that anyone who tries this will see the difference right away. Maybe just me but I get to the end of the downward/outward stroke and I can put much more force on the conduit because I can employ back/shoulder and arm muscles. That's why I caution to experiment carefully first. Again, I use this with the jelqing methods described elsewhere on this site. Maybe I'll try to post a vid if I can get something to make it.
