Cleaning Uncircumsised Penis - Help Posted: 03-01-07 19:54pm
So, being uncircumsised, nobody has ever
taught me to pull back my foreskin and
clean my penis. Yeesh.
Anyway, today I went to do that, and
yikes! There's a bunch of wight buildup
under my penis, I think I've read about
this in another thread somewhere and
hopefully it's normal. Anywho, I don't
know how to clean this. First off, this
stuff won't come off easy. Well, it will
relatively easy but it requires some
pressure. This is the problem, my penis is
so sensitive that I can't touch it and
feel a large sensation. This is probably
because I haven't pulled my foreskin back
in like.. years. Anywho, any tips on how I
should go about this would be great.
Btw, if you can't tell, I'm 17 years old.
Thanks in advance,
Concerned Teen

Relax; the white build up is normal if you
have never pulled back your foreskin. Just
clean it with regular soap and water
everyday. It will eventually come clean
and remain clean. This is something that
needs to be done daily for those men that
are not circumsized.

Thanks for the reply. But I read I should
not use soap. I'm assuming my penis will
get less and less sensitive over time? At
this point in time it is too sensitive to
try and clean it, actually.

I know this will sound weird but have you
tried using a soap-free soap??
Would it help cleaning it when you are
erect??

Soap free soap? I didn't even know it
existed, but i'll try it nevertheless. And
I'm not exactly erect when I'm going to
clean ..

I would suggest trying it also when you
are erect this way you won't have to pull
back the foreskin sooo much. It is so
sensitive because you haven't had the head
exposed much, this will subside with time.

wish i had mine. the build up is called
smegma. i had it done at 23 yrs because my

I agree that you should wash you penis
while you have an erection, that way the
skin would be pulled back naturally. Also
try your best to get non-iritating soap.
As you wash your penis please be gentle
but scrub firmly and thoroughly. Do this
every time you shower to keep yourself
clean.

I am not circumsized and best thing I can
tell you is, wash it each time your in the
shower. Try not to use any scented soaps
as it can irritate us more (uncircumsized
people) - use regular non-scented soap.
The sensitivity factor ranges for everyone
that is not circumsized. It has been said
everyday to pull the foreskin back and
gently handle the head of the penis, more
frequent, the less sensitive it will get,
but Urologist have said some people can do
that all they want and they will still be
sensitive on the head of the penis.
I am 28 and not knowing about pullin the
foreskin until about 8 years ago, I am
still very sensitive.

My hubby is uncircumsised and sits in the
bathtub with just warm water (no soap) and
pulls back the foreskin and just "soaks".
It helps with the times that there may be
more buildup. If you do that, you avoid
the sensitivity issue. Then just finish
with a gentle scrub with a non-irritating
cleanser.
