Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Quackery: Whether harmful or not, it won't do any good. There are no procedures or exercises that have any effect on penis size or quality of erections, unless psychologically (placebo effect). Since "jelquing" can't help with anything and maybe might be harmful, I see no sense in trying it.
