Recently, due to the pandemic, everyone is staying at home and spending a lot of time together, which has led to an increase in the use of condoms and various conflicts. Some girls have complained that their husbands/partners are lazy and don't like to keep clean. According to their logic, staying at home means not sweating and not needing to take a shower, just go straight to bed...
The complaints of these girls have been increasing:
"He has a strong smell down there, and he doesn't take a shower frequently at home, the smell is overwhelming!"
"My boyfriend is really not picky, there's a strange smell when he takes it out, and I'm about to vomit!"
"He hasn't changed his underwear for almost a week, it's so smelly, and he says it's a man's smell, unreasonable~"
One of the girls even said:
"He wants me to use my mouth, oh my god, he doesn't even smell that smell, it's like durian and half a pound of garlic boiled in snail noodles, I can't even eat. The key is that his foreskin and glans are stuck together, and there's white stuff in the gap!!!"
It's quite a visual picture, right? So for all you male students who want your girl to use her mouth, the first thing you need to do is to keep it clean and without any smell, which is the most essential thing!
Today, let's talk about the smell down there for men.
Why Do Men Have a Smell Down There?
1. Long foreskin and phimosis
Having long foreskin is actually quite normal. You see, a long time ago, when there were no clothes, the foreskin played a role in protecting the penis from being scratched by tree branches and resisting mosquito bites.
However, if you don't pay attention to hygiene, the sebum secretion from the foreskin's sebaceous glands will accumulate near the coronal sulcus. The long foreskin will wrap around the glans, causing the inside to be too warm and humid. As a result, the accumulated smegma becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Over time, it's inevitable to suffer from phimosis, balanitis, urethritis, etc.
2. Inflammation
Balanitis and balanoposthitis are not only caused by long foreskin and phimosis, but can also be caused by friction from underwear, mechanical stimulation, and other reasons. Some are also caused by infectious factors, such as bacterial and fungal infections. Inflammation is not just about unpleasant odors, but also redness, ulcers, etc. It's not just bad smelling, but also scary looking.
3. Sweating
You see, sweat doesn't just consist of water and inorganic salts, but also organic matter, which is food for bacteria on the skin surface. When bacteria eat organic matter, they produce the sweat odor we smell.
If you are prone to sweating and don't pay attention to hygiene, you will easily have a sweaty odor in summer! After ejaculation, if you don't clean it, the semen in the foreskin, after fermenting for a night, will also produce a strong smell!
Not Just a Smell, There's Also Something Else
If it's just a smell, it's relatively easy to solve, but if there's something growing on your thing, then you really need to pay extra attention! The most common things that grow on the penis are pearly penile papules and genital warts.
Pearly penile papules mainly grow at the border of the glans and coronal sulcus or on both sides of the frenulum. In terms of beauty, they can really compete with pearls.
This is how it's described in textbooks:
The top is round and smooth, with some papules appearing hairy or filamentous, mostly not merging with each other, arranged densely in one or more rows, obviously on the back of the glans, and can partially or completely surround the glans. The color is mostly pearly white, occasionally light red or skin color, and can have mild erythema.
Genital warts can easily grow on the foreskin, frenulum, coronal sulcus, glans, urethral orifice, penile body, perianal area, rectum, and scrotum.
The base often feels like a knot, easily ulcerates and exudes pus with a foul smell, and can cause secondary infection due to scratching.
If you encounter any of the above situations and cannot distinguish them yourself, don't try to handle it on your own. The best solution is to go to a regular hospital for timely treatment! After all, if you get genital warts, you'll infect one or two people, and those two people will infect more people.
Say goodbye to bad smells down there and keep it fragrant!
After ruling out any diseases, maintaining good hygiene habits is essential for bidding farewell to bad smells. Keeping the area dry and clean is the top priority for maintaining a healthy private area.
Long foreskin can make it difficult to keep the area dry, but taking a shower every day is a good start! When showering, it's important to thoroughly clean the area, including the foreskin. Use a gentle touch to rub and clean the area.
Here's a tip for cleaning down there:
1. Use warm water for cleaning. Check the temperature with your hand before cleaning to make sure it's not too hot or too cold.
2. Clean the area thoroughly, including the foreskin, to remove any smegma.
3. Dry the area with a separate towel that is not used for your face or feet. After using the towel, wash it with clean water and dry it in the sun.
In addition, you can use the towel to massage the area to promote blood circulation.
Lastly, we remind everyone that whether you are male or female, it's important to prioritize safety in sexual activities, not only for your partner but also for yourself.
