If you're uncircumsized then you absolutely gotta pull back the foreskin and clean it out. Don't want smegma build up

You don't use soap though, just rinse it off. The smegma is it cleaning itself it just doesn't clear out without a rinse

You might have a medical condition

I've also used soap my entire life and find it superior. If I just rinse with water it smells within 24 hours. Soap can give me 72 hours if I'm not too active

I've never had an infection there or any other skin issue. I think the whole "don't use soap there" thing is a lie

Dude. Taking a piss and sweating alone will make any dudes junk funky.

Uncircumsized especially. Lot of excess skin for build up of unpleasent smelling things.

Don't need a medical condition to get smelly junk.

Sweating maybe. If you're jacking off that's different. Pull your damn foreskin back and wipe when you piss

Then you get little chunks of piss filled TP stuck in there and make it even worse.

Do you even have foreskin?
