Penis smell

Even if you’re incredibly clean it will have a faint smell. Genitals smell.

Use some baby powder or talcum powder. I remember hearing about a poll in a women’s magazine or something like that about smells they prefer down there and baby powder was #1. And if a girl says its weird you smell like baby powder who cares? It’s either that pleasant odor or the stench of your nuts that have been sweating all day.

And I wipe my dick off with a little bit of toilet paper after I pee.

Thanks alot fungasi. What should I do? Just dab it around my cock and balls a little bit? I should probably shave and trim some more hair then.

I can just see you at the Thunders NYC convention…

BTW: don’t guys who see you do this in a public restroom ever make comments? How about the guy at the sink with all the mints and combs; doesn’t HE say anything?

(:

Seyz,

Have you tried shaving your pubic region entirely? You may have very active apocrine glands, and hair serves an important role in "disseminating" the smell. Here’s a little info about where genital stink comes from:


Apocrine Glands: The Odor Factor
Apocrine glands are located primarily in the underarm and genital regions. There are approximately 2,000 apocrine glands in the average human body. Like sebaceous glands, apocrine glands secrete their contents to the skin surface through hair follicles.

Apocrine glands secrete a milky sweat that is rich in organic materials. This secretion, when broken down by bacteria on the surface of the skin, is the chief cause of body odor. This sweat is produced in response primarily to hormonal stimulation and secondarily to emotional stimuli such as fear and pain. Apocrine glands are present from birth, but do not mature and secrete until the onset of puberty. Therefore, body odor is not usually a problem for children, and is rarely a problem for the elderly as the secretions of apocrine glands are reduced with age.

In public places I only do the “sink version” :) of it when nobody is in the bathroom, it only takes a mere 10 seconds or so.

Otherwise…

Sometimes I carry a water bottle (use a private stall) with me but not specifically for rinsing but just because I drink plenty of water during the course of the day. So the water bottle sometimes has a dual purpose. (hydration and rinsing)

Crotch smell is a whole another ball game that is a seperate procedure from penis smell. You must clean really well (use a loofa sponge) between your thighs in the area around and to the side of your balls ( the balls too of course) all the way back to your anus because you will inevitably sweat down there and it may only takes a several hours (depending on the heat index and your level of activity) before you can smell down there.
I always use talc powder in order to minimize that but then again I also shower about 3 times a day on the average and I always hit that area really well, apply talc and even a few dabs of my favorite cologne. :)

I got a yeast infection not to long ago and had quite an odor that came from my genitals. If you think you might have one, go to a pharmacy or walmart and pick up some Zeasorb-AF powder, it has a good antifungal agent in it and it will help keep you dry to.

Also if you are drinking plenty of water your urine will be less concentrated, thus if you don’t shake as well then it won’t be as bad as if you don’t drink much. Make sence?

Make sure to bathe regularly :D

Does it matter whether or not you’ve been sweating or not?

And are you sure it’s the penis and not the balls/inner thighs?

I do sweat there sometimes. I do active cardio a lot.

Para-Goomba

I haven’t shaved the entire thing yet. I have shaved the shaft and trimmed my balls and rest of my pubic area. I have yet to use a razor on my balls or rest of that area yet.

I have tried baby powder around there last night before bed and right now the smell is just starting to come back, but not as strong.

Thanks for your help. I will continue doing your suggestions.

Lets set aside the bathing and washing. I think thats been covered pretty well now.
Make sure you rub the dead skin cells off in your foreskin.

Next…

Are you drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day?
Are you excercising enough in order to sweat and flush the body of toxins? ( the reason you should drink plenty of water)

I totally agree with you and find your recommendations very helpful. The “AT LEAST ONCE A DAY” should be of mandatory aplication.

I also use an excellente talcum powder, sadly the brand name is local.

IMO, the rules of hygiene that apply to the genital area, are also mandatory for the anus and adjacent areas.

“AT LEAST ONCE A DAY!”

Keep in mind that this guy is cut — he doesn’t have a foreskin, so that’s not where the problem is originating.

Seyz — I know it does look pretty funny to have a completely shorn pubic area. I just mention it because I know that one excellent way to reduce underarm odor is to shave there (that’s part of why women’s underarms smell less). The same thing holds true for the pubic area. It’s not ordinary sweat that causes the nasty odors — it’s the milky stuff from the apocrine glands that are specific to the genitals and underarms, and the hairs really help transmit the odor. (Hmm, I just realized I’m posting the same thing as last time. Forgive me :) )
