If you are not diligent in cleaning your penis every day, don't be surprised when you find a "climb" pile called smegma around the folds of the penis skin. Smegma is usually found more often in the uncircumcised penis, but it does not rule out the possibility that the circumcised penis can also be covered in smegma.
Smegma buildup of the penis can cause the penis to become unpleasant and prone to being affected by an inflammation of the head of the penis called balanitis. Well, read here to find out how to clean a good and correct penis.
A practical guide to clean the penis
1. Rinse with water
Wash the penis enough with warm water and soap. If you are circumcised, all you have to do is rinse your penis, sabuni, and rub it gently. Then rinse thoroughly under running water.
Meanwhile, how to clean an uncircumcised penis may be a little more complicated. You must be extra careful in treating your penis, especially the sagging foreskin covering the head of the penis. This is step by step:
- Gently pull the foreskin skin up to its maximum limit. Do not forcefully pull the foreskin skin because it can injure the penis and cause scarring.
- Squeeze the skin under the foreskin and rub it gently. Then rinse the remaining soap thoroughly thoroughly.
- Push the foreskin back to its original position slowly
Actually the decision to use soap or not is a personal choice. But if you want to use soap, choose mild or non-scented soaps to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
2. Don't forget to clean the testicles and pubic hair
Don't forget to also clean the base of the penis, including the testicles and pubic hair. These two locations store the most sweat and oil that can be the culprit for stinging odors in your groin area. Therefore, this area needs to be washed frequently. Moreover, crotch is often covered by underwear for most of the day.
Make sure the area between the base of the testis and anus is also clean and odor free. You may need to lift and tamper with the position of the penis to clean a location that is difficult to reach. What's important, always be careful in handling your sensitive area.
This stage may seem excessive, but you will want to really clean the penis to the deepest gap. Bacteria can grow on unclean skin, so your extra effort in maintaining the cleanliness of your personal area will not only pay off with a fresher, but healthier sensation.
3. Dry well
After finishing cleaning the penis, make sure to dry it properly and thoroughly. But don't sprinkle powder or spray deodorant in your sensitive area. This will cause skin irritation.
4. Choose good underwear
There are many types of men's underwear. Choose cotton underwear for everyday use. But don't use pants that are too tight. Choose the type of underwear that fits your size. Panties that are too tight will only increase the temperature around the testicles. Increased testicular temperature will affect sperm production.
When exercising, choose the type of panties specifically designed for exercise, with comfortable material and tend to keep your intimate area at the proper humidity level.
In addition, it will be better for the health of your penis if you sleep without wearing underwear. This is because when you wear underwear, your testicles and penis can rub against your body and clothes, and make it sweat. If left to be aerated for several hours, this will help dry sweat in the area and prevent infection.
When should you clean your penis?
Actually clean the penis once a day. But when you plan to have sex, you should first wash your penis before going to bed. Not only will this provide a better sex experience for your partner, it is also healthier and cleaner.
Cleaning the penis after sex is also important. This is done to rinse away any body fluids that might stick to your penis. This liquid and dirt crust will be an ideal home for bacteria and fungi to breed. The same is true for after masturbation.
So, don't just wipe the penis with tissue after sex. Always rinse with warm water and soap to keep your penis clean and healthy.
