smegma

It is normal not to know everything there is to know about sex and male body especially if you are a virgin. I will try to explain to you what smegma is. Smegma is the compilation of secretions by ectopic sebaceous glands located in the prepuce, the seminal secretions of the Cowper's gland and the prostate. It is the mucin content of the secretions of the urethral glands and epithelial cells. It provides the necessary mucosal lubricant and moisturizer and is rich in sexual pheromones. It is clean, beneficial and necessary because it moisturizes the glans and keeps it smooth, soft, and supple. Its antibacterial and antiviral properties keep the penis clean and healthy. The prepuce normally prevents detection of this phenomenally charged scent until the glans is exposed at the time erection takes place. Hope that I was clear enough with my information

Hi Ollar:


Smegma is a natural, normal, harmless, and healthy substance. It is a mixture of exfoliated skin and skin oils. Smegma collects under the foreskin. It is normally white in color.

It can get irritating if it stays for a long time without being washed away, so it is good practice to wash under the foreskin periodically.

Accumulated smegma may get hardened and difficult to remove if it stays a long time such as under a foreskin that is not retracted. Olive oil has been recommended for softening and removing hardened smegma.
