    I have a bit of an issue and I'm wondering how others deal with it. I'm doing hard mode, so no M or O of any kind. I avoid touching myself as much as possible. After nearly two months, though, it's starting to smell, and noticeably enough that I get a whiff every time I go to the washroom or have a shower. It's all wet and wrinkled and covered in smegma. The thing is, due to M'ing since I was young, I've never had to worry about cleaning it. And now I'm not sure how. I put it under the shower a bit, but it didn't do much. I don't want to rub too much in case it leads to M or something. Should I use a cotton swab? What do people normally do? I know this sounds really stupid, but I'm serious.

    I'm uncircumcised and have much experience cleaning smegma off. All I do is pull back my foreskin and rub the smegma off, which almost nevers leads to M. Because I'm uncircumcised, my penis glans are highly sensitive and while this doesn't interfere with cleaning it doesn't make it pleasurable to touch with the skin pulled back (chafing sensation). Don't use cotton swabs as cotton can get stuck on it and make things worse. If rubbing it makes you erect, then focus on the smegma you're cleaning off and how bad it smells. I'm afraid warm water and rubbing is the best way to get it off. Also, you should clean yourself down there regularly as it could cause an infection if you do not.

    You're going to have to think of it like any other body part when you're showering. Use soap and water...and you're going to have to rub it to get it clean. Think of it like washing your hands. Have you ever heard that when you soap up, you need to rub your hands together for about 20 seconds (or for the amount of time it would take to say your ABC's)to make sure they are clean? You'll need to do that for your Johnson as well. If you have a hard time washing it without getting excited, try turning the water to cold to do it. I'm circumcised, so I don't know about any additional steps if you aren't, but don't think too much about it. It isn't masturbating if you're getting clean. In fact, it wouldn't be healthy for you not to keep that area clean (along with the rest of you). Not a doctor, but just a little common sense. If it stays too moist in your pants from sweat, etc, you can have a lot of bacteria down there that would explain foul odor. You may try drying it really well after your shower, and maybe using some talcum powder to keep you dry--same kind of advice if you were trying to keep your feet from smelling bad. While it is the sex organ--involved in sexual and reproductive activity, for personal hygiene, just treat it like the rest of you.

    Good luck with that, man.

    Just man up and scrub it hard so it doesn't feel good. Cold showers seconded.
