Man, if you want to enjoy a steamy session of oral sex, remember to keep yourself clean and odour-free down there. A smelly penis can be a big put off in bed. So if you are wondering what is it that makes you stink, here are a few possible reasons. Knowing them will help you deal with the problem and well, smell good.
Smegma: It is a natural lubricant that keeps the penis moist, especially in uncircumcised men. It builds up under the foreskin at the tip of the penis. If you aren’t good with penile hygiene (i.e. don’t wash yourself down there) the smegma build-up can be a breeding ground for bacteria, causing odour and set up the stage for infections.
Penile thrush: Who says yeast infections are only associated with women. Men can also suffer from the same, especially due to bad hygiene. And this is not just restricted to bad odour but can also lead to discomforts like pain and itching.
Sweat: Body odour doesn’t spare your genitals and a sweaty penis cannot hide its odour, unless washed thoroughly every day.
STDs: A sexually transmitted infection like gonorrhoea or chlamydia, apart from producing discharge, can also lead to bad odour.
Dry skin: While excess lubrication deposit can lead to smelly penis, the same is true for extreme dry penises too. Lack of moisture can lead to cracks in the foreskin that becomes a breeding ground for microorganisms that dwell and give out a fishy odour.
Tight innerwear: That too if it is made of synthetic fabric. It can lead to clogging of sweat, moisture and lead to bacterial build up that can make the area smelly and at times itchy too.
