How often are you rubbing some soap on your junk? Once a day? Twice a day? Twice a week? Well, if you’re one of those men that’s… umm… infrequent… with their junk washing, a new study from The Derm Review reveals that you’re not alone.
For the study, 1,100 men were asking about their personal grooming habits and roughly one-fifth (21.6%) of those surveyed said that they only clean their genitals once every few days at most.
“Infrequent washing will not only result in an unpleasant smell, but it is also a breeding ground for bacteria and can cause pain and infection,” said Elle MacLeman, skincare biochemist at The Derm Review.
In contrast to the 20% of dirty dick boys, 39.7% of those surveyed said that they wash down there once a day and 38.7% revealed that they actually wash up twice a day.
“Nearly four in ten men wash their genitals twice a day, and while this may seem like good intimate hygiene practice, washing too often can actually cause problems as well,” added Elle. “The skin in this area is very sensitive and washing it more than once a day can cause irritation, dryness, and itching.”
Yikes! So what about you? How often do you wash your junk? How often do you expect your partner to wash up? Vote in our poll below and sound off in the comments below with your soapy hot takes!

Assuming that you’re an adult and shower every day, how do you avoid washing your dick without going out of you way to do so? And why would you, unless you’re recovering from an injury where contact with water/soap might be a problem. This isn’t like only washing your car when it gets so dirty that people are writing messages to you in the layer of dust. Wash your shlong! In fact, do it right now. You’re welcome.
I’m UNCUT and was taught as part of daily bathing to peel back my FORESKIN and rinse but don’t use soap as soap irritates the sensitive mucous membranes and the sensitive cock head.
FORESKINS are awesome and this BS that they’re dirty is just that BS. Good personal hygiene will always be in style. As both my partner and I ‘re UNCUT, this is especially important
YES thank you! I’m uncut, and I was always more cleaner then some of the guys who were cut. Like after we played, even with all the cum sucked out of one another, I still cleaned myself off (my whole cock and pulled back my skin), then peed out and dryed myself. Some guys just did a half ass cleaned and went on their merry way. I was like well never doing you again. Happy I’m married now and my husband knows how to take care of his cut dick.
Once in the morning when I shower. Once in the late afternoon at the gym. So many guys leave the gym after working out, sweat their balls off in the sauna, and the steam room. I have to shower after my workout before I enter the steam room and sauna. I also rinse off before I go into the pool and jacuzzi. Just proper hygiene etiquette. But then again I enjoy being the guy in the showers doing my shake.
It’s got to be about straight guys because gay men don’t treat their hygiene like that. Straight men are lazy and they feel why clean since their wives and girlfriends aren’t going to put out or suck them.
Stereotype much?
Straight men would rather botch their penis than washing it.
Hope i’m incorrect but that 20% could possibly be mostly straight men.
If that’s the case then how one was raised might be the issue!
Not just dicks but ass. Those camel flies follow you around with your smelly dicks and asses, if you don’t wash them enough and change underwear.
I wash my dick at least once a day in the shower, but if there’s a lot of pre-cum because I see nice dicks, I wash my dick two or three times a day.
Nice balls! Yum.
I believe the ENTIRE BODY, head to feet and toes, needs to be washed! Egad, guys,straight AND gay men should e washed and cleaned THOROUGHLY! I also HATE IT when guys have dirty feet!! Come on, people, you should ALWAYS BE CLEAN!
Ew! Sorry, but I just threw up in my mouth,
Wow! Gorgeous pic!! If you ever need any help licking those jewels clean… let me know! And by the way, I completely agree with you!

A few times???? Seriously??? I shower twice a day, once in the morning and later in the day after the gym. Guy’s that don’t shower and clean every single day are disgusting and I will never give them a second of my time no matter how good they look.
I have no idea how people can skip the area. Do they not shower or they have problems with the water supply? First thing in the morning, shower. If I did a number two, wash the back door, naturally that includes washing the front as well. How could someone not wash it? Then a shower before bed after a long day out or whatever. Simple. We are not living in caves, are we?
A lot probably has to do with poor parenting. If you are not raised to keep yourself clean including your privates on a regular basis then you don’t know any better. I doubt this is taught in schools anymore either about personal hygiene as it used to . So this would explain why so many young people have poor hygiene now.
Teach personal hygiene in schools as part of health and wellness with the school nurse or even in gym classes which used to happen but of course conservatives objected that schools were taking away responsibility from parents which is why it isn’t taught anymore in many parts of the country.
Just like sex education, conservatives objected to that too being taught in schools but won’t teach their kids about sex at home anything other than abstinence which is why teen pregnancies rates and STI rates exploded in conservative areas of the country.
