Many new guys, including myself when I was new, say all-to-hell with the warm-up. If this is you, I urge you to rethink your thinking. A warm-up is more beneficial than the actual exercises you are doing. I repeat, a warm-up is more important than the exercises.

Why?

For the evidence, I will refer to the original PE survey. As many of you may recall, my first analysis of the "warm-up" question pointed to the opposite of what I am stating now. It showed that overall, those who used a warm-up "most of the time" or "always," didn't gain more than those who "rarely" or "never" used a warm-up...

I was never really satisfied with this conclusion. However, facts are facts.... Flash forward a few months: I begin thinking that a warm-up might just be more beneficial for beginners than the average veteran.

Why?

Well, because we all know that the beginners are less conditioned than the veterans. Perhaps using heat on a pre-conditioned penis causes for more elasticity than a conditioned one. This I am not positive about. However, I am positive of the results:

For my second warm-up analysis I used men who had been PEing for 2 months or less. In other words, I used newbies -- or as I like to call you guys, beginners.

The results:
The beginners that used a warm-up Always or Most of the time gained exactly 2 cubic inches (that's in volume).

The beginners that used a warm-up Never or Rarely gained exactly .82 cubic inches (that's in volume).

Conclusion

The conclusion is very clear. On average, the beginners that used a warm-up gained more than 2 times as much (closer to 3 times) than those that did not use a warm-up.

TAKE HOME MESSAGE for the beginners: The 5-10 minutes you will spend on a warm-up, could be much more important than the 5-10 minutes of extra stretching and jelqing you might get by skipping it.
