So many tests
When a man is first getting to know a new sensual partner, first impressions are vitally important. A man may pass the “attractive smile” and “witty banter” tests, but the game isn’t won yet. He may subsequently lose (or gain) points for table manners, political views and a wide range of other topics.

Assuming that two people click and make their way to a more private, intimate setting, a man wants to continue to make powerful first impressions. His smooth way with kisses and gentle caresses may be solid, but what happens if, when he proudly unveils his manhood, its tumescence is accompanied by an overwhelming and unpleasant male organ odor?

It’s natural
Some degree of male organ odor is natural, of course. Unless a man is a naturist, the conditions under which his member is kept encourage the accumulation of odor. The mere presence of a thick mound of hair adds heat to the area, and that heat is exacerbated by the practice of keeping the member buried beneath two layers of clothing. Heat, sweat and bacteria are the natural products of this situation. Hot weather makes it all much worse, which means that male organ odor is likely to be at its peak during the summer months.

What to do
First, if a man is not already practicing appropriate manhood care to avoid unwanted male organ odor, he needs to start right away. For example, if he does not wash the member on a regular basis, he should start doing so.

But there are other tips that can help, including:

• Wear lightweight, loose clothing. Heavy materials, such as wool, or synthetic fabrics, such as polyester, can add significantly to the heat level in the crotch, increasing the amount of sweat and the subsequent lingering odor. Lightweight cotton pants are a better bet. Loose clothing also lets the male organ “breathe” more. Naturally, men who are buff like to wear tight clothes that accentuate their physical attractiveness, but finding an appropriate trade-off between tightness and resulting odor levels is crucial.

• Consider commando. Lightweight cotton boxers tend to be the best underwear option in terms of avoiding excess heat generation in the summer. However, going commando (wearing no underwear) should also be considered for those who are comfortable with this style. (Do be aware that some members may be too sensitive for this option.)

• Air out in advance. If possible, spend an hour or two prior to a date totally bare and in a cool, dry environment. This can help to rid the organ of accumulated odor and allow a man to “start fresh.”

• Regularly use a top-flight male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) – and not just in the summer. This is an essential long-term strategy, especially for men for whom male organ odor is a persistent problem. A crème that includes vitamin A will possess anti-bacterial properties that can attack the root cause of many male organ odor issues and decrease the resulting offensive aroma. In addition, the natural moisturizing components (Shea butter and vitamin E) in the best crèmes can offset the flakiness that can occur from washing the manhood with a cleanser that is too strong and dries the skin out, even as it accumulates sweat. Proper and dedicated use of a quality crème like Man1 Man Oil can be a strong ally in the fight against male organ odor.
