Penis hygiene

---

HiAt the moment I'm doing the foreskin stretching exercises that I read about in a thread in the archive. However, in my question is regarding hygiene. I'm using a shower gel called sanex on the head of my penis now. If find that even though im just out of the shower the head of my penis is sticky to the touch. While the smell is improving as I take more care in cleaning the head, if I touch the head of the penis when its in this sticky state there is still a faint smell. It's not awful, but still noticeable sometimes.Now when I say sticky, i don't mean there is any kind of discharge of substance on the head, just has a sticky sort of feel to it.Anyone know what this could be? Is there a special way you should dry your penis? Should you keep the foreskin reatracted for a while after a shower, or should you push it back as soon as you get out?Also, perhaps there is something you can use to help dry or just freshen your penis once showered? Talcum powder or something like that?Thank you in advance.

Hey bud, not quite sure about that sticky feeling. A tiny bit of soap and water and a quick wash of your penis and foreskin (while retracted) should do the trick. When you dry off, retract the foreskin and dry your penis off...both the head and foreskin. This will keep things dry under there and will prevent moisture from staying trapped..that can lead to a musty smell or helping to attract other things under your foreskin. Using a bit of powder after a shower helps keep things dry and prevents some itching in the genital area or scrotum. DO not put powder under your foreskin and then roll it back up....that may lead to infections or something like that. Hope this helps!

Cheers mate.Appreciate your advice, as always.

No problem bud, take care of that equipment!

I have to say this fascinates me. I'm still glad I'm circumcized, but I have to say that sometimes I feel a little jealous. I wish there were a way to be uncut for like a month.

I've had the same thoughts...sure wish there was a way we could trade penises for a while! LOL

You don't want to be exhanging penises with other blokes.I did it once - twas just plain awkward!

How cool would that be if you could pick another guy and have their penis on your body for a week or so!Anyone wanna use my penis?

The head of the penis is supposed to be moist whenever the foreskin is covering it. When it gets moist, it tends to get a slightly tacky feel to it, almost sticky. This is all normal, and there's nothing you should really do for this because that's the way its supposed to be! It's also supposed to have a slight odor to it - its basically impossible to get it odor-free. Just wash the head and under the foreskin once a day in the shower, and the odors won't become offensive. I'm circumcised, but I'm currently restoring, and I have my shaft skin pulled forward over the head using a restoration device. When the head is covered for a few hours or longer, it gets moist, tacky/sticky, and has a slight odor/scent, so I know what you're talking about.

Cheers man. This is a great forum, lots of jolly good chaps waiting to offer advice! appreciate yours.So you're "recovering" your foresking? Didn't even know that was possible!

i'm confused..i've always wondered..does the foreskin cover just the head..or does it cover the entire shaft too?(like all the way down to your body)-(im a girl by the way)

Head only. It attaches to the rest of the shaft skin just below the head.

In reply to:i'm confused..i've always wondered..does the foreskin cover just the head..or does it cover the entire shaft too?Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so hopefully this picture of the foreskin at various stages of retraction will explain things better: Picture of Foreskin

thanks guys..i've been confused about that one for awhile
