A 20-year-old internet streamer known as Clavicular has gone viral after appearing on Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast and demonstrating what he calls his "shopping bag hanging stretching" technique — a bizarre method he claims has physically enlarged his penis.
Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, built his following in the looksmaxxing community, a corner of the internet obsessed with self-improvement through physical optimisation. During his appearance on IMPAULSIVE, the conversation took an unexpected turn when the topic of penis enhancement came up, and Clavicular was more than happy to share his unconventional approach.
The technique, which he demonstrated live on the podcast, involves filling a shopping bag with weighted items, wrapping the bag around your wrist, and then gripping the shaft of your penis to create a downward stretching force. If that wasn't enough, Clavicular casually mentioned that he carries out this routine while driving. Logan Paul's reaction said it all: "Your commitment to the game is admirable."
The appearance also gave Clavicular the chance to address rumours about his anatomy that had been circulating online after rapper Drake reportedly commented during a live Kick stream that Clavicular has a "micro." Clavicular denied this, claiming Drake's account had been hacked, before pivoting seamlessly into a detailed breakdown of his penis enhancement routine, which he refers to as PE.
He also disclosed that he combines the shopping bag method with pumping and is aware of at least one side effect. His erection angle has lowered slightly as a result of the stretching, though he noted this was not a problem for him personally given where he started.
For anyone tempted to try this at home, medical professionals would strongly advise against it. According to health sources, penile stretching carries a range of potential side effects including broken blood vessels, bruising, numbness, irritation, tissue damage and weakened erections. There is also very little clinical evidence to suggest any of these techniques actually produce meaningful results in terms of size increase.
Clavicular is not alone in exploring these methods. A quick search of Reddit reveals entire communities dedicated to shopping bag stretching and jelqing, another technique that involves repeatedly stretching a semi-erect penis. Jelqing in particular carries serious risks, including Peyronie's Disease, a condition that causes the penis to curve when erect and can lead to pain and long-term erectile dysfunction.
The podcast appearance also touched on other eyebrow-raising comments from the streamer. When the subject of female orgasms came up, Clavicular explained that he does not prioritise them, describing the effort required as offering poor return on investment. He argued that there were far better ways to make a woman want to stay with him long term than focusing on something he called a "simple, fleeting orgasm."
Whether you admire his commitment or question his methods, Clavicular has certainly found a way to keep people talking.
