how hard are you stretching...
I don’t know about you guys but I would be a bit worried about causing lasting damage if I were to manually stretch until my arms hurt. I mean although I’m only a newbie, I find that if I stretch too hard i deform the head. Maybe your talking about prolonged stretching? Hanging as I understand it requires lengthy periods, wouldn’t that also be considered manual work? as in prohibiting oneself from performing other more enjoyable tasks, such as not having a large and cumbersome weight hanging from one’s member?
Personally, I find the whole PE experience as being one that has brought me closer to my member, and it has shown me that while I may not have what I want in that department, there is always someone worse off than me! I just want to say that although I know that Uli’s and horses are not recommended for new members, man do they give a wicked pump!! (and spectacular spotting)
