Exercises performed to stretch the penis are also considered an important element of a well structured routine. The body’s ability to adapt and change when subjected to tensile force is well documented. Cells within an area exposed to such force divide and multiply, resulting in an increase in tissue mass. Penis stretching techniques rely on this principle as do the use of penis weights and stretching devices. However, manual stretching does not result in long term reduction of blood circulation to the glans of the penis as can result from the use of weights.
Stretching exercises promote gains primarily in penile length. They do little to increase the girth of the penis. These increases are achieved in part at least through the stretching of the suspensory ligaments that support the penis. These ligaments are responsible for anchoring the penis to the pubic bone. However, they also hold a substantial portion of the penile shaft within the body. Stretching the penis encourages the suspensory ligament to lengthen, which in turn gradually exposes the section of the penile shaft normally hidden within the body.
Stretching exercises are again, simple to perform. They involve gripping the head of the flaccid penis and gently pulling forward. The stretch should not be so intense as to cause pain or discomfort, put should merely stretch the penis to its maximum comfortable capacity. A basic exercise would be to then hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds before relaxing. The process would then be repeated 10-15 times to complete the session. A well constructed routine consists of several important variations of the above basic technique. Such variations focus on stretching all areas of the penis and suspensory ligaments and require differing numbers of repetitions to be performed per session.
