Most men would like to possess a so-called “trouser snake” that is the equivalent of an anaconda – in spite of the fact that most guys know that size is less important than penis health and penis skill. More than a few men, unhappy with the length of their penis, decide to take steps to change its size, and often many look into penis stretching as an option. Since a good number of men follow this path, it’s necessary to point out that stretching often leads to a sore penis – and to offer some tips on soothing that soreness.

About penis stretching

As stated in our original article on this topic published on Ezinearticles.com, the goal of penis stretching is to add length to a guy’s penis. Whether it actually works or not is subject to debate, but there are three general methods used in penis stretching:

– Going manual. When guys hear about manual stretching, they often joke that it sounds just like masturbating. (And for many guys who employ this method, it does actually often lead to masturbation.) Technically, however, the goal of manual penis stretching is to avoid arousal. In this method, a guy grips his flaccid penis directly behind the glans and pulls it forward until he can really feel the stretch but not to the point where it actually hurts. He holds it in the stretched position for about 30 seconds, then returns to the starting position and lets it rest a few seconds. This should be repeated for at least 5 minutes, with the goal of building up to several 5-minute sets every day (or night).

– Using weights. In this method, small weights are attached to a cord and the cord is then attached behind the glans. The added weight pulls down on the penis, stretching it out. (Using too much weight or stretching for too long a time can obviously create a very sore penis.)

– Employing an extender. Also referred to as putting the penis in traction, using an extender involves sliding the shaft into a device which attaches at the base and under the glans. The device is then extended, providing the stretch.

Tending to the sore penis

There is the potential for penile soreness with any of the above stretching methods, so enthusiasts should be prepared to tend to any sore penis that results. Some sore penis soothing suggestions include:

– Cool it down. When tissue is stressed, it often responds to something cold being applied to it. Making a cold compress and applying it for short intervals to the sore penis can be a big help. (Do not directly apply ice or any cold object to the penis, as this can result in injury; wrap it in a towel or provide some other buffer instead.) Be sure not to use too cold an object.

– Try some over-the-counter relief. Anti-inflammatories, like aspirin or ibuprofen, easily available from the corner drug store, ca also help relieve superficial soreness.

– Air it out. Often a sore penis is over-sensitive and so wearing clothing may exacerbate the soreness. If possible, keep the pants and underwear off for extended periods of time until the soreness is gone.

– Moisturize a sore penis resulting from stretching. Application of a first class penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) is an excellent way to moisturize the penis skin, which can in turn help provide relief to soreness. Select a crème that contains both a high end emollient (such as shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E). Try to find a crème that also include vitamin C, as this vitamin is also a key component of collagen, a tissue in the body that gives skin its tone and elasticity.
