Ehi gente, sono un ragazzo italiano che vive in Irlanda e recentemente ho visto questa campagna di salute pubblica su Instagram dall’HSE, mirato a educare gli uomini a lavarsi sotto il prepuzio per ridurre il rischio di cancro del pene. Ha senso totalmente, l’igiene è importante, ma devo ammettere che ero sinceramente scioccato dal fatto che una tale campagna fosse persino necessaria.
Forse è una cosa culturale, ma da dove vengo, questa è igiene di base che impariamo da bambini. Abbiamo bidet nelle nostre case ed è assolutamente normale lavare anche dopo la pipì, e soprattutto per pulire tutto correttamente almeno 2-3 volte al giorno. Come … nessuno avrebbe sognato di non lavarsi lì sotto con acqua e sapone. Quindi ora mi chiedo onestamente: questo tipo di igiene non è pratica comune qui? Capisco che non tutti hanno un bidet (probabilmente nessuno), ma ho pensato che le persone avrebbero comunque lavato a fondo la doccia almeno una volta al giorno? Non a giudicare, solo sinceramente confuso e un po ‘strabiliante.

I didn’t retract mine until the age of 14 and didn’t know I even could until then believe it or not. There’s a serious lack of sexual education in ireland(or was) and depending on your family, these kinds of things often aren’t talked about at all
60 men out of 3 million is not that many men. Of course we wash our dicks.
Hygiene is taught and learned here too but some cretins just decide not to practice good hygiene. Please dont see a psa and think everyone has a smelly micky
Can’t speak for everyone but I’ve always cleaned there.
Assumed everyone does. Had never considered a bidet could be used for that though but then again, I don’t own a bidet
I always clean it in the shower, best part of my day
I don’t think the (straight) guys can answer this one for you. The only dick I am familiar with is my own which is always clean.
Only the girls/gay guys can give you a true picture on how common knob-cheese actually is out there in the wild.
You guys have foreskin?
From an early age, I learnt to pull it back, then forward, then back. And then soap came out the end. Life is good.
This was never something we talked about here in school or growing up for me until I discovered an SAS programme on BBC I think in the 90’s to tell the recruits to wash there and discovering women a few years later but i won’t go a day now with washing/showering there.
My dad or brothers or peers never mentioned it.
We had decent sex ed on school but stuff like this needs to be talked about too. The girls were all taken aside for a chat about their stuff I recall but nothing like this for the lads.
That doesn’t make sense,my ma told me the dtoy
The local priest showed me how.
No and we don’t wipe our ass after a shit ether we are just a nation of filthy slobs.. piss off bro
>but I gotta admit I was genuinely shocked that such a campaign was even necessary.
Well yeah, people are really embarrassed about that stuff.
Not so much about the cleaning itself, but… well, the reason you have to clean is to prevent an infection, and how many of your male friends have you heard go “So yeah, I got a bacterial infection on my junk. No, not an STD, just a regular infection”? I’ve literally never in my life heard someone say that, and I’m pretty sure it’s not because people are eternally disease-free.
>and especially to clean everything properly **at least 2-3 times a day.**
That seems excessive though.
As someone who has to see it occasionally for catheters, infections, etc:
No. A lot of you fucking don’t and it’s disgusting.
For the love of smegma.
It retracts ?
Yeah i do, not 3 times a day though lol
Circumcision should be illegal.
Hang on this is mad. I’m late 30s and I vividly remember being taught how to properly clean your flute during “the talk” in 6th class.
Thankfully I never have to worry about this, my mother still cleans mine for me.. 35 years now
Don’t have bidet but I wash there in the shower every day because you know, logic!
When I was a toddler I pulled the skin back slightly and said “Hey, look. There’s another willy in there”. I was warned never to do that again. When I was a teen I was completely shocked to learn you could pull the skin back, and that this was normal… it sure did explain a lot.
Many people don’t wash their hands properly either. It’s vile! So this doesn’t surprise me at all.
Ya but would have assumed this is normal practice in the shower once a day, Irish man here
I remember when the princes in Dubai commissioned their local universities to study how “female circumcision”(FGM) improves hygiene. The study concluded that “because there is less to be washed…..”
I sat there for an hour after reading about it, thinking about how they must now find themselves laughing in the face of american hypocrisy.
