Also, right now if you (1) tense your lips as tight as possible, and then (2) pronounce the letter B or P. Did you stutter just now? What would you answer? I find this a good way to highlight the misconception where people think that tightening or tensing itself, leads to blocking. But of course, we can tense as much as possible and still execute speech movements (resulting in not prolonging or blocking).
