If you care about your penis, then you should definitely know how to take care of your penis properly. Although we all want to think we’re great at it, sometimes it helps to remind ourselves how to do it. Keep reading to find out how to take care of your penis the proper way.

Penis care comes in many forms. The most obvious aspect is hygiene. Learning how to clean your penis properly goes a really long way and you’ll be amazed at just how many men don’t know how to.

But it involves a lot more than just hygiene. There are loads of medical aspects to keeping your penis healthy, as well as some psychological ones too.

Keeping your penis clean

No one wants a dirty dick. We’ve all heard of the dreaded dick cheese, aka smegma. This will be an issue for those of you who are uncircumcised but don’t worry, it’s super easy to deal with. Just pull back the foreskin of your penis when you’re cleaning it and make sure you clean that area. Smegma isn’t as common as people make it out to be, you’d have to be really negligent to get it.

For circumcised men, you don’t have to worry about that step. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be smelly and gross down there either. It’s important to give your penis a quick clean every day. Use water and a mild soap. Don’t use shampoo or complicated body washes as they have chemicals that could irritate the sensitive skin.

It’s really good to clean your penis before sex because your partner is going to appreciate it a lot more. It also increases the chance of you getting head. It’s then also really important to clean your penis after sex. Most guys will go and wipe up afterwards, no one wants dried sperm of their dick after all. But if you consider all the bodily fluids and whatnot covering it, it’s definitely a good idea to give it a quick rinse.

By the way, when cleaning your penis don’t forget to also wash your balls and butt.

Check yourself

When you’re in the shower cleaning your junk, take a quick moment to check yourself. That is, to touch yourself a bit and to check if everything is healthy. Testicular cancer is most common in younger men. Prostate cancer is more susceptible in older men.

Check out this article written on how to check yourself for both of testicular and prostate cancer. You should check your testicles once a week, and go to a doctor if you find you have symptoms for prostate cancer.

It’s also good to keep your sex life safe. Using a condom is important for your penis care as STDs definitely affect it negatively. If you do have unprotected sex, make sure you and your partner are both tested. If you feel you may have an STD go and get yourself checked out ASAP.

Don’t worry about your size

Feeling insecure and worried about your penis size or shape can be really bad for your mental health. It can affect your life in huge ways. It’s hard to listen to someone say “don’t worry about your size” if you do, but it’s the truth.

Women don’t care about size as much as men seem to care about size. It really is what you do with it that counts. Or what you do without it. No girl is going to be disappointed with a guy who’s oral game is on point.

If you think your penis shape is weird, trust me, all penises look weird. All of them. If you think there’s really something wrong, go see a doctor. Otherwise, try and remember that women care a lot less about how your penis looks than you do.

Ok boy, now you know how to take care of your penis. Spread the word around!
