Jarod Johansen's Ball Stretching Guide
Ball Stretching general
Q: "Why would you want to stretch your balls?"A: Men love the sensation of their balls hanging down. This function of the testicles is designed to keep sperm at its peak by maintaining the testicles at a lower temperature than the rest of the body, so muscles in the groin relax the ball sack to allow the testicles to hang down, and thus cool off when the body is hot. It feels good and many men want to enhance and extend the sensation. Most men also find low hanging balls better looking, and sexier.

A: There is always a risk that heavy weights will slip off your balls, and cause not only discomfort, but also some embarrassment!. There can also be discomfort when the balls contract, causing skin pinching where the scrotum is constricted into whatever device you are wearing. This said however, ball stretching is sufficiently addictive for this to be accepted by most ball stretchers, and part of the price to be paid. (return to top of page)
Ball stretching health
Q: "Is ball stretching dangerous?"A: We regard any interference with the normal fuctions of the body, as risky, and we do not recommend it to anybody. It is a fact that many men feel a strong desire to create sexual stimulus by wearing or using attachments to their balls. The more extreme the indulgence, the greater the risk. Many men stretch their balls (including the writer of this), and we are not aware of problems connected with this activity, but caution is urged.
A: We don't know, and we can find no research into this.
A: You should stop immediately if you start to experience discomfort or pain. Your maxim should always be - better safe than sorry! Otherwise there is no limit 24/7/365 is the fastest way to get low hanging balls.
A: We would always strongly encourage you to take expert medical advice before indulging in ball stretching or any activity that might be described as BM (body modification) - even if your intention is only to experience session stimulation rather than any lasting change.
A: Stop immediately! and seek expert advice before proceeding further.
A: We recommend that you visit the secretleather discussion forum where you can read the views, opinions and experiences of members of the public, and the ball stretching community.
A: Whilst a sustained programme of stretching your balls will give you a longer scrotum and lower hanging balls when you are warm and relaxed, our experience suggests that your testicles will always retain the ability to retract when cold and when ball stretching activity is stopped.
Ball stretching techniques
Q: "How do I know what size split collar to buy?"A: This is difficult to answer, as we don't know of any reliable method of measuring the diameter necessary to wear a collar or ring with maximum comfort, with minimum risk of it slipping off. The only way we know is to try it and see. The idea is to get the largest diameter you can without it slipping off. We recommend that you read the section on measuring for a steel weight in the excellent article by Jarod Johansen on the 'Art of Ball Stretching'

A: It depends on what your objective is. If you just want to have fun and enjoy the sensation of longer dangling balls, then a few weeks of frequent ball stretching sessions will show results when it is hot and your balls want to hang down - like after a hot bath for instance. If your desire is for permanent change, then you need to work at at it harder, and some report 6 months of constant stretch being needed. Be careful, and be patient - never try to rush this, gently and slowly is best.
A: Pass one testicle through the ring first, then the other one. Having got both testicles through, then you can squeeze the penis under the ring - however, on your first time, you'll almost certainly have an erection, so you must onbiously wait until it has subsided before you can proceed!
A: We have found the most successful way is to wear a small split collar first and then to push the sac into the "Bull's Balls" and fasten it above the split collar. It helps to get the balls in, and it helps to keep 'em there!
A: When you stretch the scrotum you are stretching, amongst other things, the skin of the scrotum and this has the effect of reducing the diameter of the scrotum. Thus a previously well fitting ring can slip off after some time of regular use. The change is very small, but it can often be enough to make the collar slip off. Be aware of this if you are in the habit of wearing collars in public, as most stretchers are.
Bondage
Q: "What is 'cbt'?"A: This is an abbreviation for Cock & Ball Torture, although, since we are not into pain, we prefer to use the term as an abbreviation for Cock & Ball Toys.

A: Many people are bored with conventional sex (vanilla sex) and seek new or different stimuli in their sex activities. Bondage is merely a form of sex play, and provided it is carried out with mutually consenting adults, there is nothing wrong or abnormal about it.
A: bdsm is a sort of catch all term. The bottom line in sexual fulfilment, is that you do what turns you on, and consort, where possible and practicable, with like minded consenting people. There's no right and no wrong.
A: We recommend you try Informed consent.

A: They like the act of shaving their genital area mostly, but it's also sexier and more comfortable when wearing genital equipment like ball stretchers for example.
A: As little or as much as you like. I shave about every 4 -5 days, some guys shave 3 - 4 times a week. I find that I can get at least 4 shaves from one blade. I shave in the bath using gel, and apply lots of moisturiser afterwards, mostly because I like the sensation.
