It’s sad when you have to instruct men on their own hygiene. It is something we should all do instinctively.
Guys from different countries / cultures have different levels of access to scientific information, so all in all, more information is better than less.
Great advice
Thank you for sharing
I'm sure there's videos like this for women too.
Many of us know this, but it's good to be reminded of the less practiced ones. I don't drink enough water or trim my pubes as often as I should. And I always feel better after doing both. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Thank you doctor for the clear explanation!
You’re very welcome
10/10 couldn’t even imagine doing things differently. Thanks
You’re welcome
Great video. These tips weren't new to me, but i think it could help younger people, because this is not the topic that you learn in school. Greetings from Ukraine❤
Thanks for watching and totally agree with your comment
That's exactly what I was thinking. This would be perfect for boys.
Trimming is NOT happening. That is a personal choice.
Always having a full bush, I've never had jock itch once in my entire life. That trimmed bush looks so damn stupid - for those wanting to look like they're 11 or 12 again -- go for it!
I used to feel that way. A trim is barely noticeable. Just looks cleaner and can increase the appearance of size
Thank you for the info 😃
No problem!
Good video with good information.
Thank you very much
I always keep a clean kitchen!
👍🏼
I enjoyed this video and just discovered your channel. I took a scan of your videos but didn't see one on Testosterone which is a subject most men do not understand. I am 74 and I have taken "T" since I was 25 and it changed my life, for the better. When my level was checked it returned at 96 mg. I now use the 1.6 gel which is applied to the shoulders. I use 2 pumps daily on one shoulder and swap for the other shoulder the next day. My PSA (something else most men don't understand) usually comes back between .04 and 1.03. Because of the "T" this keeps me supplied with energy to get thru the day and a great sex life. Yes, even at my age, sex is as great as when I was younger. This is a subject that is near and dear and educating men is something that is so needed. Please, if you would offer some help on this subject. Thousands upon thousands of men suffer with a failed life. That is being tired, no real get up and go, along with a rotten sex life. My muscles stay firm and strong. The "T" will also help your entire body stay more firm. Most people never get my age right.
Thanks for your channel.
Don't tell me, show me ❤😂

Merci
Be careful when trimming body hair! My ex, due to excessive trimming, ended up in the hospital for "infectious cellulitis."
I find it so informative And useful! ✌️ Congratulations! 👏
Thank you! 😃
@@DoctorODonovan 😃
Americans say junk ,British say crown jewels.
American say both.
some believe its because .... too many evangelicals in the USA, demonizing sex in general.
I'm a 71 yr old Brit. I've never heard anyone refer to genitals as crown jewels.
Great useful information. I'm glad I am circumcised. No added maintenance.
Glad it was useful
If you were intact, you wouldn’t say that.
@@rockavalanche4545 Just speaking on my own personal experience. I know others have their own experience different for them.
As the doctor would say, scrub your back, don't forget to crack, remember the sack, and finally pull it back! It works beautifully every time.
Me too, cleaner and better looking and easier in every way.
Keeping your junk clean is important if you like visitors 👍🏼😂
All my visitors love smegma. ❤️
@@JaureguiJhorrible
By visitors, I guess, you meant crabs.
@@igorkaftan3635😂😂😂😂😂😂
You have junk?
Do you mean a bar of soap or more a body wash. And is there a benefit to using a washcloth?
Either as long as it is mild and fragrance free - both wash and soap versions are available. I use a brand called "Simple" but there are lots of others. Washcloth is fine - but would only use once before washing at a high temperature.
Great info! Before watching this video filled with common sense knowledge I had no clue as to how to clean my penis. I always thought that it just cleaned itself.
You’re welcome
I just have someone else "clean" it.😂
It's not like a self cleaning oven
@@HellsKitchenMichelle😂😂😂😂
Omg I’d be scared to look in there .
Uncut, hairy and clean - this is my choice.
Mine too, a real man!!!
Mine too, a real man!!
I freshen up with coconut water every time I use the bathroom❤
Change my underwear daily. Really, i aready do that.
My foreskin sticks to my head gland, I’m wash ones or twice a day. I don’t think it was that sticky before is that normal ?
So dad a video of the obvious and common sense!!
Nice tips but when a person is at home then it's better to remove underwear and keep these areas with natural flow with air by wearing loose clothes in this category
Preference! I never wear underwear! Keeps air flowing and feels natural. Easy access in many cases!👅😂
I use soap free shower gel (MIxa, Nivea baby, Sebamed)
You should write 12 tips, not 10
The first :"Take off your underwear"
The 12th :"Put your underwear on!"
“Don’t drop the soap,” said Captain Inyurass
Uncut is natural and beautiful!
You must love cheese wizz or easy cheese. 😂🎉😂🎉
Personal I’m not into it.
@farristolesome4419 no, all the uncut guys were clean, probably cleaner than you!! It's what makes a man a man, don't be envious!
@@farristolesome4419 envious?
@@farristolesome4419 I'm sure that you are envious and jealous of the uncut guys.
❤ uncut 😋
I think more videos with actual people doing this would be very helpful! 😂😂😂😂😂
I've always wore a very open mesh jock strap. 7 of them. New one daily. Washed in hot water and Dryer to shrink or Dry in full sunlight. Change for a new ones every 6 months. Thus worn about 26 times. Stretching is unavoidable. Keep them snug but not too tight
OH - most importantly. Moisturize after every shower. And 2 times a week a overnight layer of a 50 /50 mixture of Avocado / Extra V Olive Oil
I think I know what you did there@@garywilson9640
When you are circumcised it's very easy to clean.
That right, because it's so difficult to clean it when you're not. 🙄I bet you use your car to go to the toilet.
And looks a lot better.
I think you should undergo circumcision so that IT would be easy to clean and prevent any foul odor.
We need actual video of these recommendations. 😏
Why would you want to see videos of this it’s just common sense what to do.
@@forbeswatson take a hike
@@forbeswatsonno sense of humor or any sense at all? Have you? 😂
What about checking your balls? If there's something going on with your penis chances are you're going to notice it but balls are a different matter, if don't do a routine exam things can go bad pretty quickly. There must be like 1,000 videos on here on how to examine your balls. It has nothing to do with hygiene but since you mentioned it for the penis you should have mentioned it for the balls.
My "eating area" is always clean - LOL
Sounds yummy! Especially a clean one.
Trimming pubic hair is mostly a BIG dealbreaker. I shave the hair that is at the base of my shaft and my testicles but not the mane.
Natural is more manly in my opinion
On a more serious note, I've read and seen many videos where doctors recommend that you shouldn't clean yourself everyday because you strip the good microbiome from your body.
They usually recommend to shower, but not use a cleanser everyday even on your hair.
What are your thoughts about this with respect to the genitals? Thanks.
Personally, i only use a cleanser when I'm actually dirty or it's been a few days. If I haven't done anything strenuous, I just shower, but don't use any cleanser. Still use a loofa, but no cleanser.
Mild soap with water will do just fine and make sure to dry off thoroughly. You should be cleaning your penis or vagina daily, with no harsh soaps. I cannot believe people don't know this bit of information. Don't fathers and mothers teach them how to properly care for their private parts?
@@genew5758You are obviously confused about what and where a vagina is. Doctors strongly advise against douching.
Safeguard soap.
🤫 world’s best kept secret.
Thanks for watching
Tip #11: Regular exercise.
Tips for the anus please as i think many people don't keep it clean properly!
I wash mine 3 times a day sweaty. I like a clean house
What? That seems a bit excessive tbh. You mean with stones or something?
Yes please I LIKED it TOO 😂
The best cleaning is washing every time you make your “needs “ , front and back .
You need to use a different towel to dry your face than the one you use to dry your junk because you could get what’s called cock eye.
😂😂😂
Why is this on my fyp😭
Hopefully it’s helpful
Yes thank God that I don't have that phimosis ever since I was a small boy I would pull back the foreskin I always wash my penis when I take a shower because if you don't wash down below it will give an unpleasant smell so I wash it with safe guard soap to clean it and to avoid the unpleasant smell to happen again good morning from Manila Philippines 🇵🇭
Good morning Manila
Why is there a need to use separate towels to dry the face and penis?
Um, showering every day? 🤔
better not to waste too much water...
How did the algorithm know mine is really smelly?
However, I do have a question. Is it okay to slap someone in the face with it?
The algorithm has a very sensitive sense of smell. And, your second question is not a yes or no answer. You’d have to ask your participant if it’s okay to smack the face with your friend Willie.
✌🏻✌🏻
I thing this is cultural thing … I don’t understand why you need a doctor to tell you how to keep your genitalia clean ….this starts at home when you are little . Yes …we are three brothers and my mother did make sure that we knew how to wash our todgers from a very early age . That means washing with the skin pulled back many times with soap until there is absolutely no smell at all … normally i wash at least three times before I am happy And always wash my todger and bum after a wee or a poo …. And specifically if you have any residue of cumin after sex …that is when it is more likely to smell more if you leave overnight . So always wash as well after a sexual intercourse or a mastur session . A little extra tip …. If you think your todger smells still after washing …. Use Nivea cream ….. wipe,it and then wash again with soap and water …. Done
TIP: Never fry bacon when you're naked. Trust me....... 😮
Lol! Done that!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
For sure Have the apron on.
A really great idea I found out is to wash your private with bottled water from the store.
❤
Leave your fur alone, just take a good cleansing shower. Men have had fur there for millennia and done just fine.
Also clean the pipe daily.😂😂
I'm cut but uncut is just as sexy. The Foreskin can be a toy to open & shut.❤❤❤
beware itching it, when you'r asleep
Thanks for watching
what if the wart is in the inside the whole of penis ? hope you can answer doc thank you
western world problems. People, wash him. Thats all
It would be more understandable if we could see the demonstration on yourself ! 😉
Uncut is nasty, I got that thing clipped and cut at 30, best thing I ever did. And I shower daily.
I'll give you all a good tip for free .............SOAP!!
Without Foreskin is always clean and it hardly smells unless you don’t take shower. BUT CUT is always clean and don’t snelll
I don't agree with your premise. Either way is clean as long as you do your routine maintenance. I believe nature gave men forskin for a reason
The sensitivity is much greater for me anyway. I went to a school here in the USA, but my parents were of polish ethnicity. I truthfully did not see a circumcised penis until high School, and for me it looks strange, there were even some young men in the school who had foreskin and chose p to keep it back behind the corona.
.
Sorry but not good enough. In my case:
1. Wash with water "only'
2. Dry well before rolling the skin back.
I learned this at the age of 50 😱😱😱. By a doctor. I easily create smegma, and very oily skin if not drying worst with soap. What to do when smegma is being created all the time? I don't wash it but take it off with a dry towel until my skin regulates... This had been my life problem, embarassment when the doc told me to dry it... I still am not on top of this topic.
I’m intact too and I never wash my p or foreskin w soap, it messes up the pH of the skin. I simply wash briefly with slightly warm water with the foreskin retracted (pulled back). I get out of the shower and dab dry with a towel then return the foreskin over the head. Remember, the head is supposed to be slightly moist constantly (sure not as much as we age). Washing with soap and/or hot water causes smegma.
I think mines a self cleaning version
check your warranty
Highly unlikely! Just as your partner.

Trimming pubes is not so important. Do a video about testicular cancer or VD.
Excactly
It’s a jungle out there
uncut every time!!
I think no matter if how you clean your genital area it depends on the climate of every country, if humid you smell a lot and sweat a lot, unless if you're working all day in am air-conditioned area
Tip #11: use corn starch in the areas that tend to get moist, glans penis, scrotum , along the fold between the scrotum and the thigh, and powder the taint.
I guessing that most of the blokes in the UK are uncut.Here in America being cut is very common. I'v heard men talking that a uncut penis freaks them out. They just don't like uncut at all.
I have no preference either way.
I have found that men who were circumcised particularly if they are gay are almost envious and wished they had not had this procedure. What is we commonly know it is done at birth based on the wishes of the parent. Even here in the USA it is not as routinely done as years past. Most not to do it now only for religious reasons, and besides medical insurance doesn't pay for it, unless it is deemed medically necessary. And if your dad is uncircumcised, they usually want the son/sons to be the UNCUT and proud?
Don't use your friend's nose hair scissors to trim your pubic hair 😡
😂😂
I love Head Cheese 🧀
I like cheese too but in moderation. A natural clean type odor is very desirable. It gets a little additional merchandise to play with. Wouldn't have it any other way. In Europe this has been the norm for thousands of years, many circumcised men I meet ...yes gay... Confess that they wish they were uncircumcised... Several even wanted to resort to foreskin restoration.
Being a fetishist can be a problem! ... Like many people, I enjoy wearing rubber and PVC clothing, especially trousers. They look and feel great, but obviously can encourage moist and warm conditions down below! ... I suppose one has to suffer for one's little pleasures? 🤣
An accumulation of dairy lee, is not a good thing yuck
Hi there! Can i ask you. I have a friend in his 30s and just this yr he have a big problem regarding hinself, coz his circumcise yet he said thres a creamy cheesy like substance surounds in the sides of the head f his penis..even if he used soaps and water its not yet wash easily..his thing was was -lmost a
Get circumcised and avoid some of the issues
Everything he says is CAN and not WILL. Where did he gets his medical degree from? Even a 10th standard can suggest you that. I for one can’t agree with him except for the sex part. With my experiences,if you have multiple partner without protection you will definitely get one but only with one partner(and your partner too doesn’t have multiple) the chances is non
Circumcision makes this video unnecessary
Not necessarily
on one hand, i might think that a boy should learn these things from his father. On the other hand, it would have traumatized me if my dad talked to me about "down there'"
Thank God I am cut!😁
You'll never know what you're missing.
Was this video necessary 🤦♂️
Circumcised is beautiful & hygienic.
I prefer to have the envelope …..but you have to be extremely clean …..not to European standards
I don’t clean my head I’m uncircumcised. I have smegma that is natural. None of my partners complain. I have never had any problems.
Love cheese
Can i see?
Where are you from?
Disgusting
Circumcised or uncircumcised good hygiene would include pulling back the foreskin while bathing, lathering, rinsing and drying. The same process one should use to cleanse their buttock cheeks.
Uncut problems a lot of the uncut men be stank
Cut only
I feel so bad for uncircumcised guys. Their lifetime problems could be avoided if doctors would just cut that skin off when they’re born. At least you can manscape around the balls and around your tool every few days. Shave it close so your partners can enjoy the sweet clean aroma around those areas. The awful smell and taste in that area will be minimal with these tips. You’ll be amazed at the incredible sex you’ve been missing all these years. All the best.
What lifetime problems? It’s massively blown out of proportion.
Being uncut has absolutely nothing to do with manscaping. Gentle care should be taking one manscaping, but how would a foreskin have anything to do with that? As for the odor, that is a matter of choice by the consumer
My encounters have always been one of excitement, either way, variety is the spice of Life as we know. Clean and mild, or somewhat spicy and sweet. Both are good.
Total nonsense. Foreskins are great
That God for circumcision. 😊
Better if circumsize
Circumsize looks really uncomfortable and looks like it hurts to touch. Lol
There is no benefit, only negatives to circumcision. Only time it’s necessary is if steroids and stretching hasn’t resolved it over multiple months.
