To think he must be dirty down ‘there’!

[MumOfBoys12345]

Am I being unreasonable to think that if a man has BO and doesn’t have a particularly physical job that it’s because he hasn’t washed and used a deodorant? And if he hasn’t washed his armpits then he hasn’t washed his penis? It just occurred to me the other day. I don’t mind a bit of BO if you’re in very very close range but when it smells from a few metres away, how clean are those penises?

ugh just realised how long my account was of those exes and want to say am really not a smeg troll! Not even something I'd given much thought to in years.. this thread brought up some unattractive memories...

I work for a care company, relatives aren’t allowed to work in the same scheme together. Assumed this was the norm?

As a new doctor many years back I remember putting a catheter in an old man. As I pulled back the foreskin to sterilise there was this big white/cream lump. For a split second I thought he had penile cancer... then it wiped off.

A 3 x3 cm lump of pure smegma.

Be careful out there ladies!

I have a husband and 2 sons who all have lovely clean penises, it really wouldn't even cross my mind to wonder about anyone eises penis tbh

@Anarchyshake

I had a problem with bo going through puberty and used to use a thing called perspirex. It really helped. Stings and itches like mad when you first put it on but power on through and it really worked. I have quite sensitive skin so other people may not find it as bad.

This stuff

@LauderSyme I'm with you on the menopausal thing.

I've def noticed a change in my smell since hitting menopause.

I once had a sexual encounter when I was a teenager with a young man who asked me to go down on him. I unzipped his pants and got it out and there was the most awful stink (the rest of him smelled OK) and a white, cottage cheese sort of thing fell off his penis. I now know (from reading this thread lol) it was a lump of smegma. I literally ran off (luckily I was still clothed) and out of there and never saw him again!

I didn't know what it was, wondered if it was some strange disease and told a friend of mine who found it hilarious and despite being told to keep it to herself, told someone else who told a friend of his and this poor guy was ridiculed at laughed at by his 'friends' for it. I'm not sure who ended up more traumatised.

I wish I didn’t read about the pools and pop crumbs🤮 I think from now on it will be DH’s job to take our DS swimming.

I haven't been in a pool since I was a child for this reason. Hate to think what might be in there!

*Poo crumbs, even

carla1983 I think that a man has a duty of care to any woman or man for that matter when about to do things with his doings.

If he can't be bothered to maintain the appartus in a serviceable condition then he should'nt expect a service there;).

I visited many, many public pools in my life. I used to live in Dubai. Good news is that I’m still alive. Those poo crumbs are good for the immune system as it seems 🤪

I've got a plate of food in front of me, just about to eat but not feeling like I fancy any food. I think this thread may be to blame LOL

And the awful memories it brings back !!

Cottage cheese?

Sardines! They're not that palatable at the best of times

Oh dear. That fishy smell..

thanks for the advice, it wouldn't let me reply for ages.

I'll try bicarb and perspirex.

To the pp with the old man and catheter, I guess that probably happens often in older men losing their faculties. It's sad. And I hope you managed not to throw up. I probably would have thrown up.

I have a male friend who is an over sharer. Hes single and always moaning he's loanly. Last year he told me he had thrush downstairs and should probably sort it out the other day he saw a dr and he's given him cream and said his foreskin is stuck. He's left it like it for a year gross ! My husband is a big guy but hes rarely got a bo smell and always keeps his dick clean

OMG cats NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There used to be a security guard in Hospital I worked in absolutely stank to the heavens of sweaty arse crack, dirty chip fat and slept in clothes. You could really tell he'd fell asleep on the sofa in his clothes and never gave a regard for working in close proximity to other people. He really thought he was God's gift and would come and stand over our desk at reception tryna flirt with us all. I told him on several occasions that he stunk, he would just laugh it off thinking I was joking but I did take him to one side and had a serious conversation and told him. The next day he came in stinking of lynx Africa covered sweaty arse crack, dirty chip fat and slept in clothes 🤮🤮 Sometimes there's just no telling people hahaha.

I once worked with someone who washed his clothes daily, showered twice a day and used deodorant, but his BO was so bad that when you walked in to the reception area of our building (huge open plan space) you could tell if he was working (or had been working) that day. He was spoken to by management a couple of times but there was nothing he could do. He was in his early twenties, I think.
It turned out to be anxiety related and once he’d settled in to the role and felt confident that he knew what he was doing (honestly, within six months he knew more than people who had been there for years and years) it just stopped.
He was the loveliest, most hardworking guy. I felt awful for him.

I've had boyfriends who just lay in the bath and didn't actually wash their cocks physically. 🤢 You have to pull the foreskin back and run your soapy fingers around under the rim bit. I had to explain this to my 3 boys when they were little and in the bath. I'm hoping now they are teens that they remember what i told them!

This thread is class. Urchin cocks and duck batter. Oh, the humanity! And then, in the midst of it all, that wonderfully atmospheric detour into the Falklands war. I am now hearing Creedence Clearwater Revival in my head (Yes, I know it's the wrong war, but it's the same vibe, man) and picturing a parade of well scrubbed willies, standing to attention in proud military fashion. Thank you, Mumsnet.
