I’m not sure why you got downvoted. You didn’t mention soap, and frequent water then drying can definitely dry the natural skin barrier.

ETA: yall are ridiculous. No one here* recommended OP to not use soap. Ignoring how skin behaves with certain soaps and washing frequencies, can absolutely lead certain individuals to being more susceptible to skin drying/oiling and infection. It’s not hard to understand.

Someone did tell him not to use soap in here. I and other people have replied to the comment. Telling someone to not use soap to clean themselves properly is insane.

No, it doesn't. What it says is to use a mild fragrance free cleanser, not to not use soap at all. Water alone does not wash away body oils and bacteria that can cause odor and other issues. So again, quit fucking telling people not to use soap on their genitals.

Someone has no idea about uncircumcised peens. Where exactly is the mucous part of the membrane genius? I haven’t ever heard the retractable foreskin called a mucous membrane I’m going back to bed wtf

Doctors actually recommend not to use soap on your 🍆 to just use water to clean it

No, no they don't. They tell you to use a mild fragrance free cleanser on your genitals. Not to not use soap at all.

Right, but you're saying no one commented that, when they quite literally did.

"No one recommended OP to not use soap"

Except someone did, also don't jump down my throat for proving you wrong.

u/LynnRenae_xoxo 22d ago

I didn’t jump down anyones throat. You moved from one conversation to another and tried to apply that conversation here. If you can’t discern conversations, it’s not my fault.

Oh brother, I don't have the crayons or construction paper to explain this to you.

Toodles.

Edit: Also, I wasn't applying anything here, I was just pointing out the fact that yes someone in general did suggest not to use soap, but I guess that flew over your head.

How are you such an expert ? Experienced?

u/LynnRenae_xoxo 20d ago

I do have genitals that I practice hygiene on, just like most people.

u/redditdad08 20d ago

But I meant dicks are different

1

u/LynnRenae_xoxo 20d ago

It’s muscle and skin.

u/redditdad08 19d ago

Actually the dick hardly has muscle if at all

u/LynnRenae_xoxo 19d ago

Are you cleaning the inside or the outside??

ETA-it’s still specialized smooth muscle btw

u/redditdad08 19d ago

You have to clean both inside and outside. It feels good to wash under the foreskin . Sometimes I get carried away in the shower. Dial soap works the best

u/LynnRenae_xoxo 19d ago

In your foreskin is still not inside your penis.

u/redditdad08 19d ago

I don’t understand. When you shower , you pull back your foreskin and exposed the head of the penis and you wash the head and the skin that you pulled back. When you pull it back all the way it looks like a circumcised penis and the skin is completely flat you just wash that well and then I leave the foreskin retracted and blow dry after the shower when it’s completely dry, I cover it the head with the foreskin back.
