How Much Pain?

Doing the newbie routine. My question is, when doing manual stretches, how much pain should one experience, if any?

The grip that I was using was more tiring than painful.

I searched for jelqing tips and tricks and ran across some of the older posts with vids and pictures explaining the grips. Inverted v was a better choice for me for endurance. It was also way less painful than I had been experiencing which I thought was the price of admission.

Pain and your penis are not compatible. You should never cause pain!

Yeah, if you are feeling pain loosen your grip. I’m a newbie also (2 weeks in) and can tell you that I’ve been doing this with 0 pain and have already made small gains. I do my routine right before I go to bed so any soreness is gone by the time I wake up.

Pain isn’t a gain!
