Balanitis! Argh!

Remove all ads!

OK lads, time to own up. Statistically, a lot of >> most of you guys here have had it at some point. It bloody sucks! I've got a funny feeling where I got it from too, and I'm not a happy bunny... right uncomfy and irritating!

 

Didn't even know what it was until I looked it up on Wikipedia. No, never had it.

...and if I was the guy whose picture is on Wiki, I think I'd have to kill myself. Of course, he'd probably use the George defense:

I was in the pool!

 

Ewwww, what is all that about?! As if I expected to see a picture like that. Why not just Google it?! You have to ask yourself what kind of person would put a photo of their ugly red cock on Wiki. Some bloody weirdo's around.

It's basically in inflammation that is usually caused by a reaction to a condom, or not washing your dick after a shag. Worst cases are usually caused by sleeping with a woman who has thrush (I've got a funny feeling this may be the one actually, but I'd rather not ask a question like that..). Of course, it can also be caused by a build-up of smeg, but I think it's safe to say that's not it my case!! I can't stand that stuff, it's foul.

It's not serious and only lasts a day or two (apparently) but it's bloody uncomfortable! The lad's right sensitive!

 

I did google and the wiki reference was one of the top ones. I didn't expect to 'see' anything either.

 

Suck it up!

But seriously, it's not even the worst pain I've had and I'd imagine not the worst you've had either.

But I admit, it's bloody irritating.

Now it could've just come from you over-indulging in some activity. I've found that meticulous washing keeps that inflammation away and almost no matter how much you indulge.

This has got to be one of the greatest topics so far in the history of BoM!

 

Are you calling me a wanker??

The fact is, I've not had a five knuckle shuffle in about 2 weeks, and I've only had sex 1 time in that period too.. (I wish I hadn't as well, she was pretty rough, but I was very drunk!). It's not 'strenuous activity' nor can it be bad hygiene, that I reckon that lass had a bit of activity down there if you get my drift. This better be cleared by tomorrow! Can't afford this too long, our lass will want to know what's up, hah.

 

Get well, Barmy.

Jesus...DON'T wiki it!
Seems rather disgusting, I probably haven't heard of this because they only teach us the major killer STDs in school and not the ones that are only uncomfortable.
Luckily I still have time before there's a big possibility of getting it.

EDIT:

Now don't say that, this is probably the classiest one I've ever seen.

 

Never heard of it. Are we going to start a weird diseases thread now?

 

Poor Barmy. Heal well. Time to embrace no sex before marriage and find a wife, perhaps?

 

Damn... wiki'd it before I saw the warnings.

 

Man.... Talking about someone's genital inflammations was one of the last things I expected to come up on these forums.

 

Wiki = not so bad, i've seen worse... just don't do a google search and click on the image tab.... *shudders*

 

@Barms: Naw, more like on the lines of shagging too much and too rough. That and condoms.

Other option is that it is indeed thrush, but then there's the thing that a girl transmitting thrush for a guy is kind of rare, if it happens at all. Here's one from the bbc: Guys and thrush.

Check that link out, it's pretty solid stuff and might take a load off your shoulders.

 

Geez, the pictures are scary.

I once got mauled by a hyperactive girl I found that for conditions as yours dexpanthenol aka bepanthen ointments help. Reduces the irritation and thus contributes to comfort, and speeds up healing. That said, get well.

Having Bepanthen (my choice) in your kitchen is a good idea anyway, just in case you got light burns and the like. So the investment is easily justified.

 

Maybe it's just me, but I like to keep my...err...uhh...undercarriage...nice and clean. So no, I have never had Balanitis or any other type of infection down there.

The ladies got it right when they say, "Wash, rinse, and repeat."

Sorry to hear that your sexual escapades have to be put on hold for awhile while your little dude recovers.

 

Being female, I've never had it; but I have seen it. Try bathing Barmy. Soap and water do wonders for the body these days. Or you could get circumcised. Just a thought.

 

Heh, I don't really think that the question of regular washing, showering, bathing, utilising marvels like soap is a point that needs to be adressed.

 

I've never had it. I too had to look it up, but thankfully I saw the warnings and didn't look at any pics.

Now I'm kind of tempted to have a look. But I shouldn't. I really shouldn't.

Some guys in the army get similar infections from marching with those brutal military underpants. Then they have to get involved with ointments and wear socks around their johnsons Chili Peppers style.

 

That's got to be unconfortable!

*snicker*
