Manual Stretches Causing Spotting

Having started The Newbie Routine 10 days ago, I’ve noticed the only spotting I’ve received has been from the manual stretch portion. I don’t get spotting from jelqing, even with the slightly more advanced changes I’ve made to my routine. Not really sure what I’m doing wrong during the manual stretches, or if it’s just a lack of conditioning, but even with just 20 second holds (10 seconds less than The Newbie Routine recommends), I get spots every time on the glans. Sometimes just small red ones, and one time a small dark one near the meatus. Needless to say, I took a couple days off from the stretching after the dark one manifested itself. It went away quite quickly, and I never did experience pain during the stretching that caused it (or afterwards).

Manual Stretch Technique

1. Wait until penis is completely flaccid
2. Use an overhand OK grip around the glans
3. Pull far enough to feel a good stretch in the entire penis, and hold for 20 seconds
4. Release the grip
5. Slap penis against palm of hand for 5 seconds (to restore circulation)
6. Perform steps 1-5 one time in each direction: out, left, right, up, down, helicopter left, helicopter right

Wrap your glans in some soft material, trying to exclude blood. What’s happening is that you are pushing blood into the glans and that’s causing your problems, so even if you don’t have something to wrap with to hand, it’s often a good idea to squeeze your glans to reduce blood before pulling the stretch.

Thanks momento, I’ll try and squeeze the blood out of the glans prior to stretching.

I’m afraid I don’t quite understand what you mean by wrapping the glans in some soft material. Should I wrap the glans tightly? Is this to try and keep the blood from filling the glans during the stretch? Any suggestions for the type of material I should use?
