Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛlk] (IPA) 
The word "jelq" is a term used in the male enhancement community to describe a manual penis exercise. The spelling of this word is often debated, but it is commonly spelled with a "q" at the end. The IPA phonetic transcription for "jelq" is /dʒɛlk/. The "j" is pronounced as a "dʒ" sound, the "e" is pronounced as a short "ɛ" sound, the "l" is pronounced as an "l" sound, and the "k" is pronounced as a hard "k" sound.
Jelq, also commonly referred to as jelqing, is a technique exercised by males with the aim of enlarging their penis size over time. It is an ancient exercise rooted in Middle Eastern traditions and has been practiced for centuries. The term "jelqing" itself can be traced back to the Arabic word "jalq" which means "to milk".
The process of jelqing involves applying various strokes and gentle pressure along the length of the penis in a semi-erect state. This technique is typically performed by gripping the base of the penis with one hand and sliding it towards the glans in a repeated motion. The intention behind jelqing is to promote blood flow to the penile tissues, which may lead to the expansion and growth of these tissues over time, resulting in a potential increase in girth and sometimes length.
Jelq is considered an exercise rather than a medical procedure or regimen, and its effects are anecdotal rather than scientifically proven. It is important to note that jelqing should be practiced with caution, as aggressive or incorrect technique may potentially cause harm or injury to the penis. Consequently, it is recommended to consult with a medical professional prior to engaging in any form of penis enlargement exercises.
Overall, jelq is a method that individuals may choose to explore in their quest for penile enlargement, though its efficacy and safety remain widely debated.
The word "jelq" originates from the Arabic verb "jalq" (جلق) which means "to milk". This term refers to a specific exercise technique practiced in some Middle Eastern cultures to increase the size of the penis. Over time, this technique gained attention in English-speaking contexts, and the term "jelq" or "jelqing" emerged as a way to refer to this exercise.
