jelq and stretching with my hand worked. very hot warm up with a super hot wet washcloth, wrapped around my penis and pushing against the base, to warm up the ligaments. I usually warm up for around 7-10 minutes, I don't fuck around when it comes to warm ups! And its super hot, when done my cock grazes my legs when I move and its certain very warm to the touch. then I start stretches: I pull on my flaccid cock, but not like 100% flaccid, maybe like 90%, gripping behind my head, and pull to the extreme left for 60 seconds, then extreme right for 60, Straight down 60, straight up with hand against torso 60 seconds, and then straight out 60. Also, pulling on it up at like 45 or 55 degree angle gently and then doing a mega hard PC clamp/squeeze, it pulls your cock inward, so immediately pull in the same direction away from your body, while still holding the PC clamp. You "tug of war" against your PC muscles and it helps with gains in length for sure. I do those A-frame whatever they're called now stretches, and pulling straight out super duper hard and pushing down really hard with my other thumb, moving up and down my shaft for 10 seconds a stop. It's a really good one. Then I pull in all directions again for like 15-25 seconds random directions, etc. And then jelq, but that's a different story. I'm a believer in shorter, more intense stretches instead of the hours-long ones. shorter stretches, of your body, are more dynamic and actually make the tissues stretch and expand, but the longer the stretch goes, the more the tissues go into repair mode and actually prevent you from becoming flexible as time goes on. Something I learned from some yoga practitioners and also fitness instructors/trainers. Other people say no, though, that the longer the stretch the better the overall stretch over time. I get way more flexible when I don't hold stretches for extended periods of time. Anyway, I gained length through stretching and jelqing and it was all by hand
