Read How Jelqing Shrinks--Not Grows Your Penis

Most people associate penile enlargement methods with pills and pumps, but prior to fancy toys and elaborate marketing emails promising a larger penis, Jelqing remained the primary method for enlargement. But as with outlandish fairy tales or urban legends supported by questionable evidence, Jelqing proved a little more than a ruse, one with less scientific data available than Big Foot and one with a smaller fan base than the Tooth Fairy. Despite the lack of supporting evidence, men, as men do, believed the trick, tried it, failed at it, and tried it again. Instead of penile enlargement, men noticed something unintentional: penis shrinkage.

The Truth About Jelqing

Originating in the Middle East, Jelqing emerged as the newest rave, except without the viral experience, trending hashtag or bevy of parody videos that all of  “the latest things” of today come with. And while men duped others into thinking Jelqing improved their penis size, the technique really just redirected blood from one part of the penis to another without any scientific evidence or explanation for how or why this accumulation of blood helped.
 
Instead, you had plenty of men performing “milking techniques” that mirrored vigorous masturbation sessions, but with more pain and less pleasure—like bondage. And the reward most men earned thanks to this furious pulling and stretching: penis shrinkage.
 

How Does Jelqing Cause Shrinkage?

Think of Jelqing as a cheese grater. Each downward stroke you perform grates the cheese into smaller, more bite-sized pieces. Substitute the cheese for penile tissue and the grater for your hand, and you get identical results. Each milking stroke grinds your penile tissue, leading to damaged, bruised flesh that is, well, more bite-sized. When men bruise this flesh, the penis cannot experience the same pleasure or encumber the same blood inside the tissue, and both problems lead to impotence, shrinkage, and as you might have already guessed by now, a whole lot of embarrassment.
