Yes, stretching is for length only but you might be lucky I guess and get some girth gains as well.
And no, they’re not a warm up for jelqing, warming up you do with a hot towel, a IR lamp or something else that’s heated and can be directed in/ at your your penis as is recommended especially before jelqing.
If it’s girth only you’re after jelqing at a 70- 90% erection level can help you in gaining that. The more erect you are the more careful you must be and jelqing at a 100% erection level isn’t necessarily the best, or recommended, as you wont be able to force as much blood in/ through your penis.
Also there’s other, more advanced methods like squeezes, pumping and clamping. Just do a simple search and you’ll find the instructions on how to perform the different exercises.
But I would recommend at least doing just a little bit of stretching as well as I think it can aid in you gaining girth. It’s just my thought and opinion though as I’ve gained some girth while targeting length only.
