A member asked:

Will jelqing (a penis stretching exercise) while you were 14 stunt penis growth later on in puberty?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely..but..: There is little evidence this does anything for anyone who tries it. Some believe in it but their results may be more a placebo effect than anything else. Overdoing it can transiently injure the tissues. In the end the interplay between your genetics & hormonal response decides what you have, not this maneuver.
