Pleasingthewife is right. Find a good source of heat. There are many different variations mentioned here. I use an electric hair dryer. Some use IR lamps, hot wash clothes, or heated rice socks. It’s all a matter of preference and what you have on hand. It will totally make all the difference. The Newbie Routine gives you a good start to a stretching routine. 5 minutes a day, 30 second intervals of manual stretching. Check out the videos. I put a routine together from them and all the stretches I mention are there.
Here’s my beginning stretch routine:
30 seconds straight out stretch
30 seconds JAI stretch
30 seconds upward stretch
30 seconds downward stretch
30 seconds down-left stretch
30 seconds down-right stretch
30 seconds rotary stretch right
30 seconds rotary stretch left
30 seconds v-stretch
30 seconds inverted v-stretch
As for a lot of the guys who have claimed extreme injuries from jelqing, I think some are just here to discredit PE. They have never shown any proof of a PE routine and then all of a sudden have a jelqing injury. Even if it is true, it could have been avoided if they were adamant about keeping a progress log and watching their PIs. The experts here could have seen that they were overworking and tried to talk them out of the disastrous situation. Believe it or not, our penises are pretty damn tough. They can take a lot more than you may think.
So I would not rule out jelqing if I were you. I have seen much more success from it than any type of injury from it. As Jimmybob55 said, you can also injure yourself from stretching or any type of PE technique for that matter. You have to get the worries of possible injuries out of your head. See what you are able to do with your own penis and not worry about the negatives so much. PE takes courage. If you have it, you won’t be afraid to experiment.
Good Luck!
