While the jelq works by forcing blood all throughout the penis, the stretch is much more basic. As you can imagine, stretching is a simple process. Compare penile stretching to stretching a rubber band. When you stretch a rubber band for the first few times, it typically goes back to its normal size. But if you stretch the same rubber band over and over, it will eventually become longer. Similarly, a single penile stretch doesn’t cause growth. Instead, penis growth occurs through multiple stretches over time.
Stretching is possibly the oldest form of penis exercises and is indispensable to any man trying to gain length. It also increases hardness, so you’ll want to do at least four or five minutes of stretching even if your main goal isn’t more length.
Not Tug Of War
The goal of stretching is to slowly accustom your penis to the stress. Key word: slowly. Your penis doesn’t react well to sudden, quick stretches. The more sudden the stretch, the more likely you’ll injure your penis, and the less likely you’ll gain. So avoid pulling as if you’re in a tug of war contest, especially in the beginning. At first, start with slow and gentle stretches.
