As an answer to: Re: what exactly is stretching?????? written by AJ at 20 May 2002 17:01:50:
For the benefit of those in search of useful information on stretching, let's summarise this post. AJ "tried" stretching and it did not work. His purported "explanation" of stretching is simply garbage ("creating slight tears that heal over") and his description of "shoving foreign objects down your foreskin" reads equally well as a description of wearing contact lenses or earplugs for swimming, mouthguards, hearing aids, etc. But you're not supposed to realise that.
He is correct on some matters, though always with a perverse twist.
- Stretching works for some and not for others. It surely does. If you do it, and just keep on doing it, forgetting about the count, then you will notice slow but definite progress, though it may falter from time to time. If you don't actually do it, well, it won't happen!
- some also report that foreskin reverts to its original state after stretching is stopped. It is of course necessary to keep stretching beyond the point of barely achieving the necessary laxity of the foreskin.
Anyone familiar with materials forming knows this, though in this case, it applies in time as well. And it is not really a problem, because the whole purpose of the stretching is to achieve a certain function, which if then pursued, is itself stretching. Failure to make use of the stretch-ability of the foreskin is after all, the cause of the initial problem!
AJ goes on to say "As someone that has attempted stretching"
And there's the nub. If you want to learn a skill in any field of endeavour, who do you ask for guidance? Those who succeed, or those who fail? Well, you have your choice here, but I think I know what the smart pick is. So why does AJ "advise" here? Obviously, sour grapes. It's pretty obvious that "Misery Loves Company".
> All the best.
All the besssssssst indeed! That's our AJ!
