I keep reading this around the forum and I guess it reefers to not letting the penis/head retract back into the ball sack. Like shrinkage when your in the pool (Sinfeld) or on cold days etc. Is there some kind a little device you can wear to keep your penis flaccidly stretched? Or maybe wrapping it a certain way? It would be good to wear such a thing right after using the extender device. Thanks.
Never Let It Turtle?

Some people wear traction wraps, like What-A-Grip, to keep themselves from turtling, while others do JAI stretches when they go to the restroom. You can also do bed fowfers if you're just sitting around.
Jai stretches, keeping warm (don't wear shorts when it's freezing out), having good circulation on general (being healthy cardio wise, taking fish oil), etc. I notice my flaccid is a lot better when I hydrate. In fact, not only is my penis overall much healthier when I'm hydrated but my entire body. That's probably the most first hand recommendation I can make, but Jai stretches are the next best thing.
I always thought turtling was when your flaccid is at it's smallest possible size. Or pretty close to it. It's impossible for my penis head to go back into my ball sack or whatever you said lol

The jury is still out regarding turtling or not turtling. When I jelq my testicles they turtle a lot right afterwards, but drop down in an hour or so depending on what I am doing afterwards. My sack hang and testicle size increase still took place over time, even with them turtling afterwards. As for your unit, it is one thing if it turtles for a day or more, or only for a few hours. Turtling is a natural defense mechanism, so a short period of time shouldn't be an issue at all in my opinion. If it is turtling much longer than that, I would look at whether or not you are doing too much, too often, or too intensely. Wrapping or not wrapping will not change anything if you are doing too much, except that you are asking for some serious injury perhaps.

I agree wholeheartedly with you, SuperDude!! Keep yourself hydrated and you will turtle much less often. I love bed fowfers to keep my flaccid hang where I want it all day. Turtling is a purely natural defense on your cock's part. It is not a bad thing, per se. Some days my cock turtles no matter what I do to avoid turtling. I figure those are the times to just rest and forget about p.e.
I don't think I've ever turtled nor can I imagine what it truly mean to turtle but I do my piss pulls, and i'll work on the hydration thing although I believe I drink plenty of water, a little more won't hurt..

yea I guess so, Is turtling really that common? for example someone like yourself with a well above average size penis. I find it hard to imagine that your penis would even have the ability to "turtle" sorry if I'm a little off but I'm imagining a turtle as if a turtle completely puts it's head into it's shell. it doesn't concern me too much but i am all of a sudden curious after hearing it mentioned for months and months.
For some it is common. For some not. I really don't turtle at all more than likely because am always drinking fluids (not alcoholic and little caffeine consumption). Yeah, some do wrap and I did a little when I first started PE until my member began to become accustomed to it. Now I don't and it hangs well, but my glands have never tried to hid themselves.

If you jumped into a very cold swimming pool naked, I seriously doubt anyone here would be able to say my unit doesn't turtle. You guys telling me your flaccid hang is always the same size? I don't think so.
it gets smaller yes, but mostly just a lot thinner in that situation.. my point is it has never looked to the point where I thought it was trying to hide from me.
I have been wrapping for the last week. I use an Ace and wrap all day. I take breaks for twenty to thirty min. at a time, three to four times a day. While unwrapped I do Heli swings and fowfers in order to keep my unit loose and halt turtling. I know more than likely someone will disagree with my use of a wrap all day long. I actually enjoy wearing it though. It sound funny but my unit feels secure, kinda like wearing a seatbelt in a car. Plus I also notice it adds a little weight and gives a nice constant tug, I use the Ace for these reasons and also feel it is "breathable".
I started wraping 1 1/2 mouth ago, after my work outs and through out the day and I think it's helping with my gains. Iv gaind .5 in EL since I started wrapping it seems to be helping with the healing process. I'm not turtle anymore as my unit is kept stretched so it's healing at a bigger pace, so therefore it's healing while stretched, making the muscles heal bigger. If you get what im saying.
I have been on the PE exercises for over six months now. I started off with the JP 90 routine and have added to the routine with a couple of stretches and have added more jelqs and V-jelqs. When I first started I would turtle constantly. So about 2 months into my routine I looked for ways to prevent me from turtling. I tried bed fowfers and they didn't really help much. So I have turned to wrapping and it has solved the problem with turtling. I only wrap for about 1/2 an hour after my routine doing reverse kegels at the same time. It doesn't seem that the senior members are to keen on wrapping? Is it the fact that you can do more harm to your penis while you wrap than good?
I don't think what your penis does after you have done your PE for the day really matters. Then again, I don't see why doing something like keeping it stretched would "hurt" anything. Will it add to gains? Good question. No need to worry over it all the time though if it is "turtling".
I consider turtling the kryptonite of PE gains. I follow monty on thunders theory which is basically that turtling/healing in a shortened state is the main reason gains dry up. Hence I wear 2lbs+ of golf weights any chance I get, usually 4hrs + a day minimum. I plan on upping this weight shortly.
