There are several popular methods of ball stretching, but not all of them give the same results. If you are interested in ball stretching, you need to understand that, while this activity is not proved to be harmful, there are certain risks you need to avoid.
Popular Methods of Ball Stretching Explained
Ball stretching can be very fun and rewarding, and for many men, it’s sexually stimulating. Therefore, it’s not something that should cause pain and discomfort. This is one of the most important things to remember: severe discomfort and pain are not normal – if you experience any of them, you should take the device off.
This is one of the reasons why finding the best fit is so important. To ensure safety and the best experience (not the mention the best results), you need to use an appropriate ball stretching method. You need to know that not all methods and not all devices are good, so it’s very important to know what you’re doing before attempting ball stretching.
How Does it Work?
The basic principles of ball stretching are easy to understand and apply. It all depends on applying tension on your scrotum over a prolonged period of time. This will cause the scrotum, as well as the internal tissue (such as spermatic cord) to become longer and larger.
This stretching will in turn promote new cell growth in the scrotum, as well as internal scrotal tissue. This is how the skin and tissue expand. The tension and pressure applied thus make the scrotum longer, which makes testicles hang lower.
It’s important to note that this process will not prevent the usual changes in scrotal appearance. In other words, your scrotum will preserve its ability to change size based on temperature. Most men who perform ball stretching still find that their testicles go up and become smaller when it’s cold. This is normal. At the same time, ball stretching can cause a significant change in the appearance when it’s warm: you will see that your testicles do hang much lower.
The process of ball stretching should not be painful or troublesome. This is why it’s important to use devices specially made for this purpose. Many men find it pleasant or sexually stimulating to stretch their balls. Correctly fitted ball stretchers can be worn during sex or masturbation without a problem, and many men report greater sexual satisfaction while wearing their stretchers.
Manual Stretching vs. Stretching with Devices
Generally speaking, there are two types of stretching methods: manual stretching and stretching using various devices. It’s also possible to use a combination of these methods or to use several different devices for stretching. Oftentimes, it will be down to your individual preferences, desired effect and your body.
Manual stretching is usually done though exercises. These exercises will make the balls hang lower, but the results you achieve through this method are not as pronounced as the ones you can get with ball stretchers. However, even if you use stretchers, you may perform scrotum massage and exercise after a shower or a bath. The warm water will make the scrotum relaxed and the skin flexible.
These manual exercises require you to pull the scrotal skin. It’s also useful to stretch the skin between testicles and the shaft of the penis. You may also use various ointments and oils to improve your skin elasticity and achieve better results.
Ball stretching using devices, however, gives more effective results. This method of ball stretching also puts a pressure on the scrotum that many men find sexually arousing. It’s therefore not surprising that the majority of men who wish to experiment with ball stretching use devices to achieve the desired effect.
The most popular stretching devices are leather ball stretchers and metal ball weights. All of these items can be used alone or in combinations. All ball stretchers, be it leather or metal, come in many different weights and diameters, so it’s possible to find the ones that suit your needs and preferences perfectly.
You are free to experiment and choose different ball weights to achieve different effects. Whatever you do, however, it’s strongly advised to use professionally-made ball stretchers and to avoid various household items. Using random items can only lead to injury and you won’t be able to achieve the desired effect. This is why you should stick to leather or metal ball weights to achieve the best result and to make ball stretching enjoyable and safe.

Hi Melissa:
Is the effect of ball stretching temporary only? If I do it daily will it have any longer term benefit of lower hanging balls?
