Jelqing is a technique intended to enlarge the penis by increasing the circulation and blood pressure in the penis. Whether it actually works or not is a controversial issue.

Etymology

The word (and technique) is claimed to have various Arabic origins (from the word "milking"); however, other sources claim that it was an American neologism and the claimed etymologies are simply rumors, urban myths, and/or advertising copy meant to sell jelqing instructions.

General information

There are many commercial products (tools, drugs, websites, etc.) related to penis enlargement; however, jelqing is an "exercise technique" which can be practiced without the use of any special equipment or products, and information about it can easily be found on many forums and free websites.

Techniques

Note that the purpose of this section is only to provide a simple description of the process; before beginning any enlargement regimen, expert instruction (and medical consultation) should be sought.

Jelqing is typically preceded by a warm-up with a hot compress on the genitals, and concluded in the same way. The jelqing itself involves wrapping the thumb and index finger around the penis while semi-erect and repeatedly drawing them away from one's body to force blood into the glans.

Results

Currently there are no scientific studies to support the assertion that this technique gives any benefit or improvement in penis size, though there is a body of anecdotal evidence.

It is claimed, by advocates of the practice, that jelqing will often increase the size of the flaccid penis in the short-term after only a few sessions, but substantial gains to maximum erect penis size take a month or more to develop.

Controversies

It has been claimed that Jelqing is inherently dangerous, and even if done correctly can cause injuries, ranging from irritated skin and burst blood vessels to scarring and impaired penile function, including partial loss of erectile function and inability to maintain anerection. It should not be attempted by anyone without a complete understanding of the technique and the risks involved.
