White discoloration glans: wrong grip?

Hi there!

I’ve been adding manual stretches to my routine, but the neck part of my glans turns white when stretching (see picture for which part exactly). After stopping with stretching, it turns red again, but still seems less red than the rest of the glans. My glans is fairly smaller than my shaft, so when I stretch, I think I put a fair amount of pressure on the neck of the glans to get a good grip, forcing blood out of that area.

So my questions are:
1) Is white discoloration normal when stretching?
2) Should my ok-grip be against the glans when stretching, where I use the glans to get a good grip (but thereby pressing hard on the neck of it)? Or should the grip actually be a little bit away from the glans (so not against it)?
3) Some say it is better to first get the blood out of the glans before stretching. Is that true? Having a bit of blood in the glans actually helps with the grip.

The part of the glans you highlighted is the corona. White skin is an indication of lack of blood flow. This is not an issue for a short period of time. To more quickly re establish blood flow just massage it by rolling it between your palms (firegoat rolls).

When I stretch I rest my second finger against the corona and put most of the pressure on my first finger. I also place more pressure on the sides of my shaft than top (dorsal) or bottom (anyerior).

The weird thing is: when I stretch, the corona part actually stays red (or returns red very quickly), but the part above gets white (added a new picture for better explanation, green part stays red, yellow part gets white). Even if the corona part would turn white after a stretch, it turns red immediately, whereas the part above stays white.

I didn’t objectively analysed it yet, but it looks like it stays white for a while (even after a day break of PE). Is that normal?

Thanks for the tip, I will try this

I had this one time from manual stretching

Went in a few days

After that you never had it again? Did you change anything?

To be honest I have no idea what caused it - maybe I gripped too hard and didn’t warm up properly. l also had a flexible woody for a few days. But it all subsided - I try beginning stretches more gently now. Things returning to normal for you?

I’ve been thinking that it may actually be due to clamping instead of stretching. The thing is: I just recently started stretching (did like 3 workouts). Can’t imagine it’s because of that. On the other hand, I only clamped like 6-7 times now, so that’s also not a lot. Never felt any pain.

My erections actually got better, I get rock hard, but the glans gets like 60%. When I kegel, it fills up, but deflates again to 60% when I release the kegel. Could this be a sign of overtraining? I will stop everything for a week now.
