The basic stretch is the backbone of all length exercises. Once you get the hang of this exercise, the other stretches will come naturally.
Starting Position
You can stretch while standing, sitting, or laying down.
Erection Level
Your erection level should be between 0 and 40 percent. In the beginning, avoid stretching with an erection level much more than your typical flaccid penis.
Remember to warm up for ten minutes. If you just warmed up so you could jelq, then you do not have to warm up again.
The Basic Stretch:
1. Grip your penis. Anywhere will do, so long as you don’t directly grip the head.
2. Gently pull straight out for 30 seconds.
3. After the stretch, quickly restore blood circulation by either kegeling or gently slapping your penis against your leg.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3, but stretch your penis in the following directions for 30 seconds each:
Ø Down, penis pointing towards the floor
Ø Up, penis pointing towards the ceiling
Ø Right, penis pointing to the right
Ø Left, penis pointing to the left
Common Stretching Questions!
“Will I lose girth by stretching?”
No, stretching generally doesn’t cause a loss in girth. In fact, when combined with the jelq and girth exercises (which you’ll use after you advance), stretching may actually help increase girth. That’s because after stretching, the tissues within the penis are already flexible and submissive. Combine the increase flexibility with girth exercises or jelqing, then the penis will continue to stretch, but in an outward direction. Several penis exercisers also report an increase in girth at their base—near the pubic bone—because of stretching.
“Can I hold the stretch longer than 30 seconds?”
When you first start out, keep your stretches to a maximum hold of thirty seconds each. Over the next five weeks, work your way up to sixty to ninety second holds.
“What should I feel when stretching?”
Many men feel different things when they stretch. Several penis exercisers feel a slight tingling sensation, a sense of itchiness, or a feeling of fatigue (similar to a post-gym workout), whereas others feel nothing. Regardless, your body clues and ruler measurements are much more important than what you feel while stretching. As long as you don’t feel any pain, then you are most likely on the right track.
“Can I just stretch straight out?”
You’ll want to stretch in every angle possible, not just straight out. Stretching in multiple angles will maximize your growth because stretching in different directions targets different areas. For instance, roughly half of your penis is tucked away inside your body. Many men find that stretching straight down stretches the ligaments, which in turn “releases” some of that tucked away inner penis that’s hidden from the outside world.
But you don’t want to focus on just stretching down either. By stretching in multiple angles, you’re increasing the areas your penis can grow. That’s because stretching in other angles also targets different parts of your actual penis. Stretching up actually focuses the stretch on your inner penis; stretching to the right focuses the stretch on the left part of your penis; and stretching left focuses on the right part of your penis. The right and left parts of the penis are known as the corpus chambers and you can learn more about them in Appendix B: The Penis Anatomy.
The only instance that you’ll want to stretch in just one direction is if you have a penis curve that you would like to straighten. In this case, focus your stretches in the opposite direction of the curve.
“I can’t obtain a good grip when stretching. How do I fix it?”
Use a stretching aide, such as baby powder, rubber gloves, or a fabric of some sort (like a cotton cloth). Baby powder can be placed on your hands and penis; whereas rubber gloves and fabric typically cover your hands. But keep in mind that you shouldn’t be pulling too hard. Using too much force too soon can actually impede growth. No matter how hard it is to believe, it is the light and gentle stretches that lead to growth in the beginning.
Basic Stretch Assignment
Do the basic stretch in all directions, twice. This translates into five minutes of basic stretching.
