Height of Summer

It's the height of Summer. We should talk about crotch sweat.
You know how uncomfortable it can be to have your balls and your cock, not to mention your ass-crack, all sweaty.
As High Summer brings high heat and, in some places, high humidity, it's important to keep the area dry.

Just like not drying out your feet, remaining in wet, perspiration-soaked underwear can easily lead to fungus (yeast) infections. A yeast infection is akin to athlete's foot: An itchy, red rash. 
Suffice it to say, you do not want to have to deal with that. There are ways to combat it.
The best way is to not wear briefs. Go commando. Freeball it. But in loose pants.

You may still end up with sweaty balls. Get the pants off, wash your crotch, and then dry it well.


If you do happen to develop a rash, or yeast infection, as is suggested in this Healthline article, hie yourself to any store that carries over-the-counter remedies and buy any one of these creams: Lotrimin AF, Desenex, or Cruex. If the infection does not show signs of clearing up within a few days, go see your doctor.
Take care of your genitals and they will take care of you.

Heh
Never occurred to me. I don’t go commando but I do like a little bit of baby powder in very hot days. And I do boxers in the summer over briefs, just in case.

Well I can tell you...I don't wear much this weekend. If at all.

I use an excellent cream which was recommended to me by one of my nurses, but it is not for sale in the USA.
Today I found my blog in the new version. In my opinion, it is the fruit of a frenetic intellectual masturbation of a sadistic brain which sought to complicate everything. I tried to use it and wasted a lot of time. The only advantage is the cumulative number of comments. Almost nothing compared to the drawbacks. Change for the sake of change. It's sad.
Hugs and bisous, my darlings Jean and Pat.

Dear men... all of you. Powder your ass crack. Trust me. A little baby powder after you dry off. Right at the top of your ass crack. Just do it. Every day.

You always have the best advice!

Gold Bond medicated and the powders for men. Also it can be a problem if you spend a lot of time sitting, like driving for long periods or even behind a computer. That can get you into trouble any time of the year, but our temps pushing 100 every day makes it even worse. And go for the loose cotton clothes and underwear
Hugs and bisous.

Unless I am running Covid errands, I am confined to the house, and spend my day in boxers and a loose tee shirt. It's so comfortable!

Great advice as ever, but even though you showed a few foreskins in the post, it’s important to emphasise to pull it back when showering, and (gently) rinse what is under it clean. In my experience that’s the origin of most if the smell, and itch. I love a clean cock, with or without, foreskin.

@ MFP - It figures that the "new and improved" blogger is nothing but change for change's sake. Most software updates are done for that reason. Not looking forward to it kicking in.

@ Jean - You're right. Cotton is best. Loose cotton. And the Gold Bond does work for helping to keep things dry. Our temps have hovered in the 106 to 108 range the past few days. Now that Monsoon Season has arrived, the humidity is up. If I didn't have the pool.....😎

Hey your anon friend here. Hope you're doing well. Just wondering how does that one guy in the pic get so smooth down there? I appreciate the link to the blog about swimming naked in the past. It has some very good points about self acceptance and not being ashamed. All things you've talked about as well which I appreciate from you. However in my journey to becoming more accepting of myself, I can't quite decide how I feel about my body hair specifically in the groin area. I can't decide if I look better with or without hair. My natural self is what I guess would be moderately hairy. However I like the feel of being smooth and hairless. I also feel it maximizes what I have. Otherwise my penis gets tangled, retracted/inverted into a mass of hair and fat pad which is somewhat saggy now that I am in my 30s. Any easy home waxing you'd recommend or no no for guys?

whkattk said...

@ Anon- Most likely through waxing. There are plenty of salons that offer waxing for men. Most guys now are opting to trim the pubes down to 1/8", and shave the balls and shaft. I think it would get you the look you want without making it look prepubescent. That seems to be the preferred system now. You could opt for that at a salon as well.

@whkattk- So do most guys just let the perineum area below the balls and back toward the anal area natural? I've tried shaving before, but when I get in the scrotal area, and depending on body position the skin quickly blends into the perineum area that I referenced earlier. So are you supposed to just stop shaving at a point?

whkattk said...

@ Anon - Shave the perineum as far back as you can. Depending upon how flexible you are, you should manage to get the entire thing shaved.
