What is this smegma?

Hello. I'm 23 year old female and I have some delicate questions and need some quick answers. You see, I'm sexually active for almost five years now and I haven’t had any problems with it so far.
So, just recently, my boyfriend and I end up together in his apartment.
We are together almost three months now and I was ready to have intercourse with him but I couldn’t. Do you know why?
There was something white on his penis that had awful smell. When I asked him what it was- he told me that it is smegma; that it is completely normal and that it has nothing to do with personal hygiene or similar. How come my last boyfriend never had the similar thing!?

I know that this could be very confusing and that’s why I will try to explain you some crucial facts about this smegma.
Smegma is one substance that helps clean and lubricate the genitals. I must tell you that you also produce smegma as well as your partner. But the problems is that it can accumulate under the foreskin in males and that’s how it can be more noticeable.
I'm afraid that your boyfriend didn’t tell you one thing- uncircumcised men with poor personal hygiene develop more strong and unpleasant smell of smegma. Tell your boyfriend that preventing accumulation is best done by rinsing the area with warm water daily!

i allways find that baby wipes are good at cleaning away smegma from under the foreskin just tell him to be gentle tho as the skin under the foreskin is really sensitive and can be broken easily if too much pressure is applied.
