Swamp Crotch

"Can you address swamp crotch?"

Sweaty balls. What guy hasn't been there? We can shower and a few hours later, The Boys are wet with perspiration. And, if left long enough, the odor can waft right through the pants. 

Swamp Crotch = Crotch Funk. It's caused by normal bacteria on the skin that mixes with sweat. While some people like the odor, others find it untenable. 

Even if we aren't exercising.

"How to Beat Swamp Crotch" from MensHealth makes some good suggestions.

Anti-perspirants can clog pores, so you don't want to use that on your bits. There are a ton of brands of deodorants out there to choose from. But there are other things you can do to help the situation.

After a shower, try OffCourt - a powder body spray, which might end up like the FreshBalls by the end of the day. The powder turns to a slimy mess. 

Or ToppCock Silver, a gel made specifically for the balls. Put it on after your shower.

Both use all-natural ingredients (just like Fresh Balls) so ingestion is perfectly safe.

Switch to 100% cotton briefs. Cotton is more breathable than micro-modal materials popular today.

While many of the newer men's briefs tout "moisture-wicking" material, for men whose groins sweat profusely they don't work. They still end up with wet crotches and butt cracks.

One really good solution: Get some Dude Wipes - On the Go.

They're individually wrapped and come in fragrance free or Mint Chill (which might help cool things down a bit). You can go into the men's room and freshen up during the day. But please, do not flush them after use. Any plumber or person who works in a sewer treatment plant will tell you wipes don't break down all that well. That can clog pipes - especially older cast iron ones.

Lastly, if you don't piss "balls out," start. 

Give the area some fresh air to dry out a bit.

And speaking of balls....

I totally missed Buddy Ball Check over this past weekend.

I trust you all remembered and did the deed.

"Gay" Toys?

 

Is there really such a thing as a "gay" sex toy? Butt plugs? Dildos? Vibrators? Masturbation sleeves? Pumps? I think they are all used and enjoyed by both sexes to some extent. Well, maybe not the penis pumps. 🙄😂

But the question remains: Do straight guys have to stick with "straight" toys?

Or a universal thing like the FleshJack?

Way back in September, fellow blogger Sixpence posted about straight porn actor Beau Gunnar trying out sex toys on an episode of Davy Wavy. Beau made the comment, "Pleasure doesn't have a sexual orientation."
This post of mine has been languishing as a draft ever since. Not sure why....

I wholeheartedly agree. Completely cut the idea of labeling anything as gay or straight.

With toys or without.

The only consideration should be the amount of pleasure one derives.

On Genital Grooming

JoyLovePeaceHappiness had another question for everyone.

"I was wondering if there's some good advice on genital grooming; what to use, styles, do guys shave their scrotums or just the shaft, how far down under do they go, etc. 

Shave with an electric body shaver, and I love how smooth things are. I clean up the shaft, balls and try to go down under as far as I can. 

Would guys like someone else to groom them? I think that would be quite the turn on."

As I've posted before, guys should, at the very least, do something to remove the hair from the shaft.

Everything else is personal preference.

There are tons of men who regularly go for waxing. 

Or sugaring; same process using melted sugar instead of wax.

But, I think a lot of guys do some level of manscaping in the region. I used to shave the shaft, the scrotum and the perineum. Then I decided to go for laser removal. Did the shaft, sac, perineum, and butt crack. While it's supposed to be permanent, there are a few spots I still have to shave. The rest is kept neat with a beard trimmer.

In the dancing days, visible hair was not allowed. Shaving was mandatory. You wouldn't spot a hairy man on stage. - Hairy bodies are not fun to watch. So, we helped each other shave.

Did anyone pop a boner? Once in a while, sure. You just shrugged and moved on. Shaving the shaft is much easier with an erection, anyway.

But, answer his questions, if you dare. 😁
Do you groom?
If so, what method, and what parts?
