heat before traction - alternatives to rice sock?

[markdubby]

hi there

i'm looking at an efficient way to heat my penis before traction but sadly dont have a microwave for the popular rice sock method. i've been using lukewarm water from the shower head but was wondering if anyone had a more effective/easy method.

i tried an IR lamp but it was way too bulky and i was getting blinded after a few minutes

thanks!

I use a small heating pad set to low. I checked the temperature with a thermometer and it reads around 104 degrees when I use a small hand towel wrapped around it. I have checked some of our other heating pads and they put out much more heat on low. So it depends on which heating pad you are using.

thanks, which temperature do you aim for?

I always aim for around 104 - under 110 degrees. This study is a good read on the role of hyperthermia.
