Stretching redness

It seems that if I stretch hard enough to feel a good stretch, with my grip just below the head of my penis, the head of my penis gets very dark red and the redness remains for a few days. I only squeeze as hard as is needed to get a good stretch. Is this just a necessary evil of stretching that everyone has to deal with? Or is there some way of warming up or modifying the stretch that will reduce the redness. I would rather not have it be obvious (by color alone) to my significant other that I am doing the stretching exercises.

jmarle,

You might be holding your penis too near the head when stretching. Try moving your hand lower down and use the full hand (not the thumb and forefinger).

Don’t stretch with a fully erect penis, semi hard is all you want.

Otherwise you will have to ease off the pressure until your penis gets used to the stretching then increase slightly. At present you appear to be overdoing things, and that could lead to complications.
