Jock Itch: Sensible Prevention Tips
by John Dugan OwnerAlthough
scratching the midsection is perfectly acceptable when knocking back a few
brews in a man cave with the guys, it’s not something that wins a fellow a lot
of points when giving a business presentation or when out on a date. Yet there
are times when the urge to itch is so strong that there’s little a guy can do
but give a surreptitious little scratch and hope no one notices. This is
especially true when a dude has come down with a bad case of dreaded jock itch
and feels like all he wants to do is put his hands down his pants and scratch
away for a couple of hours. Since jock itch is such a nuisance, it’s wise to
practice prevention strategies for avoiding it. The following may help.
- Don’t share towels with a bud. Whether at the gym or at home, it’s important to use a own
clean towel when drying off from the shower. Jock itch is a fungus spread
through direct contact – meaning it’s not airborne. A guy has to come into
physical contact with it. Using a towel another guy has used means one of you
might be passing the fungus to the other. This is especially important at the
gym. Often, guys hang their towels on a row of hooks while they shower – and
it’s easy to forget whose towel is whose, so pay attention when hanging up that
towel.
- Don’t share underwear either. Seriously, going commando is usually a better option than
borrowing some briefs from a bro. It’s just too personal. Besides, he may claim
that he’s washed his underwear in hot soapy water – but a lot of guys fudge the
truth when it comes to how much laundry they do. Wearing boxers that have been
clinging to a midsection with jock itch is a disaster waiting to happen.
- Use a towel in the sauna. Hanging out unclothed in the sauna or steam room after a
good workout really helps relax the muscles. But other guys have been sitting
there unclothed too, and if any of them had jock itch…well, need we say more?
Bringing a towel to spread out and sit on is excellent prevention.
- Wear a latex protection. Jock itch often starts from sleeping with a woman who has a
yeast infection. Wearing a latex protection is one of the most important
prevention strategies in such cases.
- Beware of athlete’s foot. The fungus that causes jock itch is the same as that behind
athlete’s foot – so if a guy has athlete’s foot, he needs to avoid touching his
feet and then touching his member.
- Give the manhood an airing. Jock itch thrives in warm, moist conditions, so it benefits
a guy to let his manhood have fresh air regularly. Sleeping in the buff is an
easy way to do this, or just walking around the house unclothed for an hour or
two on a regular basis.
- Stay loose. Tight fitting clothing may accentuate a guy’s physique, but
if the pants and underwear are too tight, it makes more heat and moisture,
which encourages jock itch. Go for boxers rather than briefs and trousers that
don’t cling directly to the midsection.
- Shower and dry. Shower frequently to keep the skin clean – and dry it
thoroughly.
Taking prevention tips to heart can decrease the odds of getting
jock itch, but sometimes the yeasty beast comes for a visit anyway. The member
will better meet this danger if it’s in its best health; daily use of a top
drawer male organ health crème (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe
for skin) can help maintain that health. For best results, make sure
the crème contains a wide range of vitamins, including the all-important A, B5,
C, D and E. In addition, the crème needs to feature L-carnitine, an amino acid
which has valuable neuroprotective properties that help ensure continued
sensitivity in the member.
