The jelq is the foundation of penis exercises. No matter what you’re exercising your penis for—to gain girth, length, or hardness—the jelq will help you get there. The jelq works so well because it uses an OK-grip to push your blood, and the nutrients within it, throughout your penis. The jelq also builds pressure within the penis’ smooth muscle, blood vessels, and other tissues. Overtime, the stress of this pressure causes the penis to expand, enlarge, and harden—similar to how putting stress on your muscles causes them to become stronger and harder.
A common question is, “Where did the jelq come from?” Oddly enough, the jelq’s origin is largely a mystery. Some sources speculate it has been around for roughly 30 years, and is nothing more than a fine art of masturbating; others suggest that the jelq is an ancient Arabic exercise. Regardless of the jelq’s origins, its popularity is wide-spread on the Internet and in the penis enlargement community. And for good reason—many men have gained inches from just this one exercise.
Lubrication Required
To jelq you’ll need a lubricant, such as baby oil. Eventually, you may be able to get by without using lubrication, but stick with it for now. Lubrication is gentle on the skin, which helps you overcome some of the unwanted side effects such as skin darkening. It also makes the learning process easier.
Good Lubricants
The best lubricants don’t have to be continually reapplied. Below is a list of popular lubricants that have worked for many penis exercisers.
Ø Baby oil (the best baby oil has added vitamin E and aloe, as both are healthy for the skin)
Ø Canola oil
Ø Vegetable oil
Ø Olive oil
Ø Coconut oil
Ø Cocoa butter
Ø K-Y jelly
Ø Astroglide
Ø Vaseline
Ø Essential Vein Oil
Ø Penis exercising oils
Essential Vein Oil
Essential Vein Oil (EVO) was made for the sole purpose of performing penis exercises. For that reason, EVO is a more beneficial lubricant, but it’s also more expensive. Created by a penis exerciser who uses the online alias Eroset, EVO combines several essential oils and herbs that are vasodilators—meaning they open your blood vessels and increase blood flow. As a result, EVO is great for increasing hardness and overall penile health. The downfall of EVO is that you have to make it yourself. For a list of ingredients and instructions on how to make EVO, see Appendix D: Penis Exercising Resources.

Bad Lubricants
The worst lubricants are water, lotions, and soaps. Water is a bad lubricant because it doesn’t last for more than a few jelq strokes. Lotions and soaps are bad because they often cause skin irritation and make your penis itch.
