Personal hygiene is one of the prime factors that influence a man's sensual appeal – and that appeal can be seriously damaged when male organ odor is a problem. While a modest amount of aroma can create a musky scent that works to a man's advantage, a sweaty stench is going to detract from a guy's other fine points. Tackling male organ odor and keeping it under control is one of the primary advantages of good male organ care, so taking appropriate steps is necessary for an optimal outcome.

As stated, a certain amount of scent in the manhood area can be a good thing. While society places a great deal of emphasis on the visual aspects of sensual appeal, the fact is that all the senses come into play when one person is, consciously or unconsciously, "sizing up" a potential sensual partner. The olfactory organ takes note of the general aroma of a person for a first impression, which is why wearing the right cologne – or the right amount of cologne – can be an asset.

When the member is in good overall health, it emits a slight aroma that most potential partners find enticing. But why should the manhood aroma becoming overpowering?

Overheating

One reason is simply that the male organ is prone to overheating. The mound of hair surrounding it insulates it, creating a natural heating situation. It doesn't help matters that the member is usually kept under not one but two layers of clothing – underwear and trousers – which adds to the heat. Many men wear tight underwear and trousers, to better show off their bodies; this tightness can also make things even hotter. Finally, the blood flow that occurs when the manhood becomes firm adds an additional element of heat.

With all this going on, it's no wonder that the organ gets extra hot – and that sweat accumulates rapidly as a result. And when there's sweat, there's bacteria-based odor.

Often, a man may be unaware that his equipment is producing a stench. And most of the time a potential partner does not know this until the man unveils his proud manhood – at which point if the odor is suddenly overpowering, it may bring on a quick headache and an embarrassing ejection from the bedroom.

Prevention

Preventing a male organ odor emergency is essential. The following are steps that can help to ensure a more palatable aroma from the manhood area.

• Washing. The first and most important step is to make sure that the member is washed regularly with a mild cleanser. Harsh soaps can damage the sensitive member skin, so choosing something that is free of unneeded chemicals is advised.

• Clothing. Wearing clothing that is not too hot can make a big difference in terms of odor. Looser clothing is better, as is clothing made of lighter fabrics, such as cotton. On hot days, darker colors should be avoided, as they absorb heat.

• Airing out. When possible, a man should allow his manhood to "air out." A man should go unclothed when in a private situation. If a man has persistent stench, washing his member and letting it air out for a while before a date may be especially beneficial.

• Crème. Even men who regularly wash their manhood may still experience male organ odor. Using a top-notch male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can help to fight that unwanted stench. The most helpful crème is one that contains an ingredient that is known to fight bacteria, such as vitamin A. Applying a crème with vitamin A regularly enables the anti-bacterial properties to take hold and do their job consistently, with good results. It also helps to select a crème with Shea butter and vitamin E. These are two excellent hydrators; regularly washing sometimes removes the oils that keep the male organ skin properly moisturized, so adding hydrators into the care equation can keep the skin from looking dry and cracked. A crème such as Man1 Man Oil should be a part of every man's daily male member health regimen.
