Is it ok if I don't clean under my penis?!


Question: Is it ok if I don't clean under my penis?
I'm 13 and I've only cleaned under my penis one time. (I'm uncircumcised obviously) And that was in the third grade. And i havent cleaned since. So is it ok to not clean it? If you guys think i should, please give me tips on how to pull the skin back cause it really hurts. In third grade, my dad did it for me, and he went back very slowly. But when i try to, it hurts. Thank you

Answers:

Pull your foreskin back slowly and you should be fine. If you haven't done in in that many years than the head may be very sensitive so be very gentle. It has been pulled back before, so you should do it regularly to keep it clean.
Take a warm (NOT HOT) bath or shower and do it there. The warmth and moisture will help to relax the skin. Pull your foreskin back but don't cause pain. Pull it back just to the point of hurting and hold it for a couple minutes. Do that 3 or 4 times a day if you can. Pull it back every time you pee. Pull it back when you're sitting alone in your room.
If you do this as often as you can, after a few weeks you won't feel the pain anymore and you'll be able to clean it properly.

Relax and take your time...
Hope this helps you man... Good luck

The idea that you 'must' clean under your foreskin is a fallacy. You 'can' clean under it, and if you do, use only water (no soap). But none of the other mammals clean under theirs, and they don't get infections.

The fact is, the foreskin is self-cleaning and in order for it to do its job properly, it requires as little cleaning as possible. The idea that men 'must' clean under it has more to do with the modern obsession with cleanliness than with any 'need' to keep it clean.



Cleaning your foreskin is a must especially as you get older. Experiment on how to pull your foreskin back slowly and gently in a way that wont hurt, there is just a certain method for each guy that is easier. According to http://bit.ly/fc5C4B the three steps to cleaning is like this:

1.) Gently pull the foreskin back.
2.) Rinse with warm water only. Soap under the foreskin can cause irritation and swelling.
3.) Pull the foreskin back in place over the head of your penis.



If it hurts to pull back your foreskin then you should talk to your doctor, that's not right as foreskin should slide back without any discomfort at all. Consider being circumcised, it's a simple snip, a little sore for a day or two after but the bonus is that girls much prefer a circumcised man and you'll stay as clean as a whistle. Good luck!



You should start cleaning it or you could get infecctions
