sfldg, do not stretch when erect! If your flaccid is shriveled then you probably have not warmed up yet. If you do not warm up your ligaments will be tight making it more difficult to get a good stretch. You run a higher risk of injury without warming up. Your flaccid will hang better when you warm up which will give you more meat to pull. The benefits of warming up before your routine are many.
In my brief experience with PE jelqing and then wearing a cock ring after gives the greatest flaccid hang. Pumping leaves some residual bulk in my flaccid as well.
Get an accurate measurement of your erect length by measuring across the top of the shaft from your pubic bone to the tip of your penis. This is absolutely necessary so that you can chart your progress as you PE. You will need to know what you started with to know if your routine is working or not, it’s only common sense.
My friend, do yourself a big favor and spend some time going through the newbie introduction :!: HERE :!: . You have the motivation to make gains. I know what you mean, many of us would like to be the proud owners of a hulking flaccid to show off in front of our lady friends. Take your time, though. Your lady friend is not going to want to play with a mangled piece of meat.
