Emberassing Question, need help deperately - Men's Health Message Board

Hi
I'm 19 years old and not sexually active, well i've never had sex before period. Me and my girlfriend are defenitly going to, she is for sure the one. But i have one MAJOR hang up: My penis smells. Wow am i ever emberassed saying that. I am not curcimsized, this might contribute as it seems to only smell underneath the foreskin. There is no smegma underneath, and i clean it very regularly, but it doesn't seem to work. I've tried everything, regular soap, hand soap, scrubbing hard, everything i can think of.
This is terribly emberassing, and any help you guys/girls can give me would be so awesome. I've been reading through the posts on here and everyone seems to be very nice and professional, and i hope you can all help me out.

Thanks for the reply. It's greatly appreciated.
I guess you're right, i dont know what other guys experience as far as this is concerned, :P.
Could it be possible that after i masturbate some ejaculate is staying underneath my foreskin, thus causing the smell? Because sometimes when i pull back the foreskin it can be really strong.

I will have a shower in the morning though, and by the afternoon it smells again. Like, when i dont ejaculate.

Hey bud, I'm uncut too and have had some of this experience in the past. Our foreskin does sorta keep things "trapped" under there. It stays a bit moist, and although semen from an ejaculation could be the problem, it may also be smegma. It could also be that urine is getting under there when you pee. I'd suggest that a couple of times a day you just retract that foreskin and clean things out a bit to see if that helps.

Matt,
Do you retract a bit when you pee? If you pull back the skin about half way up the glans then urine will not wet under it. Just an extra thought.
