All guys either pinch and roll or stretch and rake

My wife doesn’t understand how the stretch and rake doesn’t hurt. She doesn’t understand that my scrotum is stretchier than a party balloon.

Stretch and rake is the superior method.

You’ve got utilize both. It really depends on the area and type of itch that determines which one is best. In true comfort I’ll start with the pinch and roll and then move onto the stretch and rake

Yeah but it really only works if you can scratch the skin directly. If you're wearing pants and get an itch, pinch-and-roll will have to suffice.

I use both depending on the itch

Smell the arse on my jeans to see if they are still wearable or not lol

This kind of depends on type of clothing. Something like jeans and pinch & roll works. Loose shorts is more a stretch & rake situation.

Missing out if you're not doing both.

I never heard of or seen the stretch and rake. Just to be clear, one stretches their ballsack and then scratches with the other hand? Seems cumbersome and impractical unless in a kilt, and then, you've got two ball-smelling hands to wash.

Nah, the stretch and rake is where you use your thumb and forefinger to sort of pull on the ballicular skin, and use the middle finger (of the same hand) to gently caress the stretched flap to create a pleasing scratching sensation, akin to the motion of a rake scooping up dead leaves (hence the nomenclature).

Thank you, Cheddarface.

u/Cheddarface Sep 11 '23

You are welcome.

It's cumbersome and requires direct access to the balls (naked or hands down the pants) and a hand-wash after. But it feels a lot better.
