When I started PE it was from a different website a couple of years ago, but the routine wasn’t that different from the newbie routine here. But no matter where the routine comes from, there are many on the Internet, I think you should look at it as a way to get familiar with the exercises and to get a feel for what’s involved/what you can handle and the conditioning you receive as you go through the exercises.
I started with SO (straight out) stretches holding for a two or three seconds at a time trying to get how I gripped and the stretch right, which will be different from one person to the next. My glans was small in proportion my shaft which didn’t make that easy. I also had trouble getting the grip of my right hand to work as well as my left hand.
Once I got that OK I increased the number of stretches and the duration for a few weeks, then moved on to various angles of stretching, SO, up, down, left, right for a few seconds each, then kept increasing the times and reps once I was comfortable with them. After a few of weeks that I moved to rotary cranks (all the way around like a clock), once again feeling my way through it and working up to multiple times around on one pull after a few weeks.
I don’t exactly remember my routine, that was actually in 2006, not 2007 like my signature says ( I’m changing that), but was stretching for between 45 minutes to 1 hour, sometimes more. I know that because I put a windup clock in the bathroom. But I basically added the new exercises onto the old exercises, and threw in some modifications like giving the left/right stretches a little up and down movement and the up/down stretches a little side to side movement, but when I did that I used a crank to finish them off in sets instead of always doing cranks. It took me about 2 months to get to that point which some may say is aggressive and some may not.
I only ever did about 300 jelqs max but always did them and was/still am lazy with kegels.
And always use each hand the same number of times. I used 5 or 10 each hand as a set for stretches, and 20 to 25 jelqs each hand for sets (that’s about how long I could maintain my erection level I jelqed at)
I think that most everyone agrees that stretching downward gives the best lig stretches, especially BTC, but I just started doing BTC stretches, A stretches and V stretches, and reverse kegels this year, because I didn’t know about them until I found this wonderful website. But as you can see I didn’t concentrate only on downward stretches. Stretching up works the tunica and I figured why not do that too. But that’s me and how I started.
Note: Now I’m really thinking about getting back into a good stretch routine, I basically do maintenance stretching now, but I’ve increased my glans size and can probably get a better grip now (sometimes I would get terrible red spots and bruising from my right hand slowly slipping to my glans, grip aids helped but didn’t stop it). Sucks having a small head, I even had a complaint about it once, or more like “it’s just that you’re head isn’t.”. But that sounded like a complaint to me.
Hope this helps you some, and remember to work your way into it and listen to what your body tells you.
