Jelqing: the latest in a long history of attempts to enlarge the male member

Thursday, February 15, 2024

Posts advise that stretching a semi-erect penis could add up to an inch in length and girth by exploiting the body’s repair mechanisms.

Key Points: 
  • Posts advise that stretching a semi-erect penis could add up to an inch in length and girth by exploiting the body’s repair mechanisms.
  • Jelqing is just the latest in a long line of dubious penis enlargement techniques stretching (sorry) back millennia.
  • The ancient Greek method of lengthening the foreskin with a kynodesme (dog leash) seems positively mild compared with ancient Indian methods.
  • Penis pumps are also used for erectile dysfunction, but unlike some online claims, they don’t lengthen the penis.

Surgical interventions

  • Fillers are increasing in popularity, particularly hyaluronic acid (HA) injections.
  • HA is popular because it is doesn’t generate an immune response.
  • Surgery to cut the suspensory ligament anchoring the penis is the most widely accepted surgical elongation method.
  • A recent review concluded that evidence for supporting surgical procedures for penis enlargement is weak and the complications are under-reported.

Not needed, in most cases

  • A micropenis, usually diagnosed at birth, is where the penis is 2.5 standard deviations less than the average stretched penis length (2.3 to 2.5cm depending on ethnicity).
  • It is typically caused by a deficiency or imbalance of hormones such as testosterone or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), or genetics.
  • The female vagina is on average 2.5 to 3.8 inches deep, but lengthens during sexual arousal to accommodate a penis longer than this.
  • The female genitalia have multiple erogenous structures that can result in orgasm, so penile length isn’t the key characteristic.

A closer look at jelqing

  • The top two consist of numerous spaces that are surrounded by smooth muscle, which keeps most blood out of the spaces.
  • During an erection, the muscles relax allowing blood to flow in, filling these spaces, and enlarging penile volume.
  • While the theory sounds good, smooth muscle cells in the penis don’t respond in the same way skeletal muscle does.
  • If jelqing, or any other trend, was really that effective, we would have seen evidence of it in medical journals, and the sale of extra-large underwear would be making the headlines.
