Yes. Body odor is caused by the same things that make clothes smell after you wear them: bacteria. When you sweat, the moisture allows the natural bacteria on your skin to breed faster. Their physical byproducts (basically, their poop) is what you're actually smelling. So, antiperspirants work to reduce body odor by keeping you from sweating and thus from creating the warm, wet environment that bacteria love. Body odor itself isn't harmful, but in most places it's socially taboo.

Genitalia, like your armpits, tends to be warm and sometimes sweaty. By changing your underwear, you create a drier environment that's not as hospitable for bacteria. In addition to changing out of sweaty clothing, you can reduce odor by washing yourself regularly and wearing antiperspirant (make sure you're not allergic before you apply it somewhere sensitive). Antiperspirant works best if you apply it to dry skin a while before exercising.

Does putting a laptop on your lap make you sterile?

May not make a person permanently sterile but heat is know to cause it. Puttying a laptop on a lap causes a significant increase in temperature around the scrotum. Even doctors advise men with fertility issues to wear shorts to reduce the hear around their scrotum. If you like working lying on your back and putting the LAPtop on your genital area directly then the exposure is even worse.


Why do 15 year old boys have itchy testicles?

Not washing the area in the shower, sweat will dry there and it will irritate the scrotum (ball sack). Do not assume someone doesn't take showers when they itch their balls, the person could just be sweating in the area, probably because his shorts don't allow air to get down there to prevent an itchy ball sack: -take showers often and wash your penis and scrotum. -wear breathable pants such as basketball shorts. switching to boxers instead of briefs will help to. -apply baby powder to the area to soak up the sweat before it drys, but remember this is used only to prevent more irritation not reverse it. -change underwear as often as possible -do not scratch. yes it feels good but a minute later it will come back worse! ... ... ... ***if none of these solutions work you should go see your doctor.***


What to wear to disney land?

In the summer, shorts and a t-shirt, in the winter, sweatshirt and long pants. Just like anywhere, haha. It's California, we have seasons here. Oh and also...for summer, try to wear like biker shorts under your pants, so you thighs don't chafe. But remember, if you decide to wear biker shorts underneath, make sure you wear panties or if you're a guy, wear like tighty-whiteys...boxers will make it worse. Good luck!


Why does your scrotum hurt with some erections?

It's anecdotally called "blue balls", I'm not certain if it even has a scientific name. Blood pools around the scrotum and the it can vary from mild discomfort to excruciating pain. Typically sometimes ejaculation makes it better, occasionally it makes it worse! >< There's the proverbial "cold shower" but never did much for me. If you're at work or school try aspirin and as-soon-as you start to get an erection "think baseball" or whatever non-sexual thing you can. Think about math, the rocky mountains, whatever. The longer and more intensely you're aroused the worse it will get.


What does a kick to the scrotum feel like?

A kick to the scrotum, or even a slight 'hit', typically causes severe and intense pain. A male may double over, fall to the floor, and writhe in pain after being struck in the scrotal area. As with any kind of pain to anyone, a male is likely to hold the area (what doctors call "bracing") as an attempt to reduce the pain. Everyone knows how it feels to strike your elbow, the "funny bone", and how intense that pain can be. But the pain subsides quickly. Being hit in the scrotum would likely feel hundreds of times worse and would not go away as fast. It's also normal to feel nauseated during the pain from a strike to the scrotum, and for the scrotum to feel sore or extra sensitive for hours to days after being hit. NOTE: Although some people think that kicking a man in the scrotum is funny or insignificant, being hit, struck, or kicked there causes severe pain. It can cause swelling later, which also results in pain. No one should ever purposely hit a male's scrotum, unless there is no other self defense; but females need to know that kicking a man does not necessarily disable the man. Instead, the man could become angry and fight back. Also, kicking or striking a male in the scrotum on purpose and without good cause can be a form of assault and battery, a crime.

Were does the cup go?

The cup is inserted in a pouch in a jock that is designed to hold it. The cup can also be used in compression shorts designed with a cup pouch. Some men simply insert the cup under a regular jock or compression shorts that do not have a cup insert, however this can be dangerous. If a testicle gets under the rim of the cup during play (outside the inside protected area) and you are hit in the groin in can be far worse injury than if you did not wear the cup at all.
