Tricks And Tips For Manual Stretching

I’ve been doing fulcrums quite a bit lately and would welcome others to try this and give their opinion. A key element is the use of heat. Warm up flaccid for 5 minutes. Then begin fulcrum stretch to the side using your hands. But make the pull gentle at first and after holding that for a minute, keeping fulcrum stretching in the same direction but with a rocking motion as you bend and increase the intensity of the stretch. Now do this in the opposite direction reversing left/right hands of course again using the fingers as the fulcrum point. Here is where I then switch to an IR lamp to provide constant heat. Now grasp higher up the shaft and repeat. The concept here is using only side or lateral bends to target the tunica and working your way up the shaft for each set at different positions along the length. After you reach the end point about one inch below the glans, do about 10 or 20 jelques to support circulation and apply rice sock for 5 minutes. Next repeat process two more times. Gradually work up to three or four sets of these 3 rep exercises. A bit of difference here is the slight bouncing lateral pull before you hold each stretch in each direction and constant heating. This exercise, for me, has given a very good sensation of stretching post workout without pain during or afterward other than on occasional 3 second stab here and there. But it feels like a real accomplishment afterward for several hours.

It sounds like wantsmore’s stretches but focusing on two angles .

I’ll be curious to hear about your results, and if you happen to gain girth don’t forget the adequate poll :

Stretches/fulcrum stretches and girth

It sounds like bennett8 stretches actually, let’s give credits to those who deserve :) .

Ectospasm, interesting post.

I felt this ‘stabs’ too; I do believe it is coming from tunica, but if we’d know for sure that is coming from there, and not smooth muscle, that would help.

I humbly think I have something that is an important part of manual stretching for me that I know had been stated before in other posts but bears repeating. It is basically that when I stretch I ease into every pull slowly, giving enough time for my body to relax. It sounds strange but I can feel the stretch more intensely with less force.

When I used to just grab and pull I found my body more tense and resistant as if I was about to hurt myself but going slowly allows me to avoid that reaction. I have seen an increase of half an inch in flaccid stretch where before I was getting very little to no results.

Hope this helps!

In another post you had this to say about fulcrum stretches:

“About the thickness of the fulcrum: for downward stretches, I think the fulcrum should be very long and have the perimeter of about your EL. For side fulcrum stretches, the perimeter of the fulcrum should be slightly bigger than your EL, say 2-4” longer.”

Are you referring to the diameter of the cylinder?

By EL do you mean BPEL or NBPEL?

Why do you recommend these specific lengths for the fulcrum?

No, the perimeter - circumference or girth. EL means NBPEL. These lenghts are those which works better for me, they can vary a bit from a guy to another of course.

Do you think fulcrum stretches are the most effective stretch for gaining length? How conditioned (months spent PE’ing) should I be before I attempt these roughly?

I think a combination of side fulcrum stretches and simple manual stretching is the most effective. About conditioning, the idea is that you should shift to a more intense exercises only when you are not gotting anymore gains with less intense exercises, because intensity can help to go over stalling points, but strengthen your penis too, and of course there is a limit to how much force you can apply. The penis can be a surprising strong bodypart.

Thanks marinera for this thread, now I can strecht without skin pain

No problem.

Hey Marinera,

I’d be curious what you recommend I should do. I’ve been hanging for a few weeks and lately I’ve been throwing in some hand stretches. I’ve finally figured out how to grip the penis as it was always complciated in the pst because of the foreskin. Anyhoo, should I keep hanging or switch to a manual routine?

Also what are your views on the 2 second stretches that Tom Hubbard reccomends? I’ve seen someone else say the same thing.

If you are happy with hanging, keep doing that. If you are hanging fairly light, do some manual stretches after warming up but before you hang.
2 second stretches can be useful as an occasional addition or variation to a routine, but I wouldn’t recommend making them a main part of a routine as they risk toughening up the tissues; time under tension is vital to successful PE.

Hi everyone,

When I’m manual stretching I try to stretch only when I’m TOTALLY flaccid but I feel like there are quite a few “state” of being flaccid.
As far as I know the best is when its the most weakest/loosened, but most of the time I get “hard flaccid” (I found when searching for “hard flaccid” topics that sometimes when people damage their penises they get permanently “hard flaccid”) and I have to wait minutes to be TOTALLY flaccid again, when I can significantly stretch my penis.

So my question is: Does these different states of flaccid make sense and is it true that I should wait until I’m the most flaccid even if it means that I have to take a small break after every 30-secs rep or I can do it even when I’m kind of “hard flaccid”? My main goal is to gain length, I don’t really want to gain girth.

Do you know any trick which makes the penis more flaccid while doing the manual stretches?

Thanks,
Peter
