Do you experience smegma?

"Smegma is a natural, cheese-like substance that accumulates under the prepuce, or the foreskin, in men, and under the clitoral hood in women. The exact contents of these subpreputial accumulations are debated amongst scientists, though it certainly contains desquamated epithelial cells, or dead skin cells. The color can be white to yellow... and it has a distinctive odor."

  • 😅 Just when I thought the internet had talked about *everything* you pull this out? 😅 (when I hit the pizza cheese frame: 😅😂🤣😱👻)

    Personally (stepping into my science smocks for a sec), that is one of those things you can tack to genetics: there are two main groups who have "anti-smeg" bacteria in their epidermis that is naturally occurring.
    (One is from African stock, and the other from Proto-Indo-European)

    Their lineages wouldn't *naturally* have a susceptibility to developing it.
    (Which is where that whole hygiene thing comes from)

    The primary cause of it is either poor hygiene after sex or masturbation when residue from either pre-ejaculate (in men) or effluvia (in women) remains in those areas, and becomes a breeding ground for other viruses and bacteria who then colonize it, making the "ick".

    (And, yeah, they can make fun of you for it, because tbch, it takes all of a second to remember to wipe it off w/ a clean finger [& then clean the finger!]...)😉

  • Uncut and I never have it accumulate even if it can probably form. The only time I remember seeing that was around the time I was first able to retract it and didn't quite figure out how to clean it yet. I wash every day in general but it would take about 1 week of not cleaning to see any of that crap.

  • Through simple daily hygiene I have never experienced this in my life.
    There's no excuse at all for having disgusting hygiene.

  • Sometimes but rarely because I try to keep up my hygiene... In my opinion, it is a real smart move for the guy to use an antibacterial penis health crème to keep things extra clean down there because transferring nastiness is easy and common… this can lead to odors/ infections etc. You can get one online. Hope this helps fellas.

  • who the hell doesn't shower after 10 days? that's clinical depression

    • im depressed and i didn't even know what this word means

  • I shower at least once a day and that dick of mine gets a nice washing every time.

  • I'm uncircumcised and wash every night. Barely anything develops within those 24 hours but I wash anyway. It's kind of annoying though. Not very comfortable touching that part because of sensitivity.

  • Nope, Luckily not... that sounds rather disgusting. What would be a reason to not shower for 10 days? I do it daily without exception :D

  • Wow that last pic kinda looked like a cheese pizza yummy 😂😂😂

  • I keep my foreskin as clean as I possibly can to avoid problems with my piercing, smell, skin health etc. so I experience no smegma.

  • it's best if your mother washes it until you understand soap. then you get your girlfriend to suck your penis daily and you'll never have it anymore. you never have to shower ever again!

    • Hahahaha

    • I can honestly say I wouldn't have conceived of such an arrangement, gauging by my limited past experiences... 🤔 (... but now that you mention it, it bears some merit in contemplation. 😅 But I'd never expect that from anyone... ... but... ... it would also curb itself or probably lead to an untenable level of property damage.😅)

    • @Spiritwander nah, get her some chloraseptic throat numbing spray. it's harmless and she won't feel the throat chafe

  • Smegma is a combination of shedskin cells, skin oils, and moisture. There is no debate amongst actual scientists as to the contents.
    Historically there was some confusion as to the origin of smegma but that had also been settled.

  • No I keep myself clean

  • I got circumcised as an adult hence my expertise on the subject goes beyond what this question could imagine.

  • The day i first pulled my foreskin back was like Smematron!

  • Vote D - I only get it as an exception; i. e. on long jungle hike trips; where regular cleaning is not always possible.

  • I am un-cut and not once have I ever experienced it. I thinks it because I wash myself every day. Also guys with foreskin are supposed to retract it when they pee. So if they dont, it gets nasty.

    I didn't know women got it too. Only the most disgusting people get this. GROSS. It literally takes 2minutes to wash your dick.

  • I am uncut and clean myself daily. Never experienced it ever since I was in early puberty.

  • I didn't know this was a thing 😱

  • It would need plenty of days of not cleaning for showing up in a way it would be noticeable.

  • nah, for some reason i dont, i can't even pull my foreskin back to check cos its like a tight weird little pipe thing covering the head that can't be forced back

  • This is fucking disgusting wtf I am unfollowing you

    • Blocking you actually

  • Only time that a residue is as smelly of sticky as smegma is after sex or Masterbaction when no cleanup is possible. The next time in the shower it stinks to much.
