Jelqing is a form of repetitive penile massage performed on a semi-tumescent penis that, over time, will increase the length and girth of the penis.

The word is reportedly derived from the phrase jalgh zadan, which is Persian slang for masturbation, although some say that the word has more modern origins, and it is simply a corruption of "jerking."

The exercises are termed "natural enlargement techniques" as no external devices or add-ons are required. Some kind of lubricant and a commitment to perform the routines for 15-30 minutes a day are all that is required. Because of the low cost involved, jelqing has become a popular enlargement method with many adherents, not only in North America, but around the world.
