I'm cut, but I prefer dry jelqs

I used to do wet jelqs. But there was the mess, then the cleanup, and that retarded looking donut around my penis, plus usually red spots too. All the blood movement seemed to be in my skin.

Now I do dry jelqs. Same intensity, but I get a better pumped feeling, blood actually moving where I feel it should, little to no swelling, and only the occasional red dot.

It seems to me that wet jelqs give more edema than actual growth, but that's just my opinion. I will measure again next week and see if I am showing any growth yet.

The only time I ever inured myself was with dry jelqs. Be careful and make sure to warm up properly.

NP97, is it possible you were just too vigorous? What kind of injury did you have? And what is the danger? When I was wet jelqing, I was always getting purple spots and red dots, and occasional thrombosed veins (which I massaged out over a day or two, fortunately). Now I get none of this.
