As an answer to: how do i get rid of the smell written by Paul at 03 Mar 2004 21:07:29:
>my penis has an odour to it, i wash it everyday with soap and water at least once. Even though i continually pull back my foreskin and wash it my penis still smells when i get an erection or if i simply retract my foreskin. If anyone has an suggestions on how to eliminate this smell, or if its just normal please help me out here
>thanksBasically the most effective means of reduction of odor at the penis itself is to have the glans exposed to air so as to be dry, and to permit any late drops of urine to evaporate or be absorbed by clothing. This is one thing that circumcision has going for it.
It is possible for some guys to train their foreskins to remain permanently retracted which accomplishes the same thing quite well. It is achieved by placing the foreskin behind the glans, and during the early part of a training perios, returning it to that position as soon after it slips forward as possible. In some instances the forekin will swell when kept behind the glans the first times and you must return it forward. It may be necessary to massage the blood out of the glans to get the foreskin forward. Retry later, it will adapt.
I "skinned Back" around age 12 and it served me well. It is cleaner, sexier- and if you are in a cultural area with a lot of circumcision- it removes any problem of acceptance by partners that are used to the bare penis.This does not destroy any of the sexual sensitivity for enjoyment. In fact it enhances the touchability of the glans.
