FUCK. I want to kill myself. I literally wash my ass until it's raw, and EVEN THEN I go to the locker room to make sure I don't stink. Each trip I make sure to wash myself just in case. I deodorize my balls and ass. I make sure to dry them to completion and YET THEY STILL END UP BAD. I'm just fucking destined to be a loser. I can't even clean myself properly. I swear I'm doing everything. My routine literally consists of washing my ass vigirously, putting baby powder on to make sury it's dry, deodorizing, etc. I'm literally not meant to improve myself. My social skills are garbage, my hygeine skills are garbage, but I really want to improve. My body is killing me. I've been having mental breakdowns over this shit. What the fuck if the problem and why does eating healthy and drinking water not solve it like everyone told me?
I guess I'll just stop here and lay down and rot, lads. I wasn't meant to be happy or improve myself in any meaningful way.
go to a doctor to see if you have a disease or something. i forgot what its called but its a rare disease that makes people smell really bad. also cut out junk food and drink lots of water
Nicholas Garcia
you eat a lot of curry and drink beer?
Carter Hill
have only used soap maybe 10 times in my life. stopped washing my hair and wearing deodorant/cologne about a year ago still have no odor issues
wtf is wrong with you?
Austin Murphy
user... you know, there are other body parts you need to wash besides just your asshole... Dirty hair for example can smell disgusting, your armpits. Do you literally not put the bar of soap on any other body part besides up ur asshole? C'mon man. You need to soap every part, and then buy a gdamn deodorant.
Samuel Edwards
is it gay if youre a little turned on by your own body odor
Aiden Johnson
Is any amount of junk food terrible for your BO? I assumed I didn't eat that much but I might be underestimating it. I'll keep track of my junk food consumption from now on. But to be clear I don't eat much junk food anyway. Though I do if I ever get my hands on it, which is rarely since I'm poor.
Yet another addiction that I have to break. Amazing. Though it's worth it if I don't have to deal with this. >drink lots of water Roger
Nope. What does your diet look like? Do you eat tons of junk food and still smell fine? You sure you're not just used to your stink to the point where you don't smell it? I usually think I smell fine and then someone tells me I smell bad.
I don't see how you even wrote this post and decided to submit it after thinking it up. How could you possibly come to the conclusion that I only wash one body part if I'm incredibly self-conscious about my entire body stinking? I don't even know what to say to this stupid shit. Jesus christ.
Gavin Watson
Body odor is not a male, so no.
Connor Flores
I'd guess it's either diet based or some rare genetic condition. I've noticed using supplements like aminos and preworkout made my sweat more pungent smelling.
Hudson Fisher
I've been using preworkout but only recently. I'll make sure to avoid it until I find a solution. I'll limit everything aside from dinner and water and see if it makes a difference. I've done it before and it made no difference but I'm sure there are things I did that I didn't account for, so hopefully this will be controlled enough to see results.
Problem is resisting junk food when it's presented to me so frequently. I guess it's just a matter of practicing willpower.
Andrew Cruz
>How could you possibly come to the conclusion that I only wash one body part if I'm incredibly self-conscious about my entire body stinking? To be fair, I thought the same thing as him because you seemed to really stress the point of washing your ass... are you sure that's what's causing the smell? When people say you smell like ass, it's usually a metaphor for smelling bad in general ya know.
Logan Clark
Also eating strong herbs and spices is usually blamed for the reason Indians mostly smell bad.
Nathaniel Cook
Then explain why KFC smells so good nigger
Aaron Edwards
Yeah, fair enough. It's mostly his approach to it that got me. If he asked I wouldn't have minded the assumption. But no, I only know that these are my specific problems because I can smell it directly. That's why I specify my balls and ass so much. Because they're the culprits.
My hair armpits usually smells amazing and I have no problem with odor even when I sweat profusely. I don't even need to reapply deoderant after a workout. I've searched around and made sure there weren't parts of my body that could stink that I was missing. Including the ears. So no need to worry about me missing a spot. I'm too scared of being percieved badly to ever let something like that slip through the cracks.
I'm pretty obssessed with it, given that I'm a socially anxious person. Yeah I hear that too. I generally don't eat anything spicy aside from hot sauce on specific foods. And I don't eat those specific foods often.
Jackson Evans
It's not hot sauce, it's certain spices like garlic, ginger, possibly turmeric and others that can influence your smell if eaten in large doses. It's why the other guy mentioned eating curry. Could it possibly be your actual clothes that smell? Could they be getting moldy somehow?
Easton James
I just wrote a fucking essay on body spray but it didn't post, god damn it.
OP use Dove body spray or an equivalent sports spray like Adidas or Old Spice. They all smell clean and sporty in a generic way, pleasant but not overpowering. I get compliments all the time on the Dove stuff, most people assume it's expensive cologne. Save the actual cologne for outside the gym, as it's overpowering, expensive, and ends to distill to its base fragrance notes (I.e. alcohol, leather or musk) when you sweat a lot. Just don't use axe.
Michael Diaz
My guess is that you have jock itch. Spread your cheeks in the mirror and look under your scrotum. Are there redlines at the skin folds/ass crease? If so it's jock itch. They make foot (?) Powder for athletes foot that you can use instead of the baby powder and it should clear up pretty quick.
If not that then see a doctor.
Lastly, do you have REALLY smelly farts by chance? If it's that then maybe a low fodmap diet could help there
Justin Robinson
yeah go to a doctor, its a possbile genetic condition
Jose Perez
OP, when is the last time you washed your shoes? Smelly gym shoes could be the culprit here.
Landon Morgan
It could be my clothes. If my house smells like garbage it would likely infect my clothes, right? I was going to come to that conclusion but I make sure all of my clothes are washed before I wear them. Thing is I know where the smell is coming from. I just can't get it to stop. It's gotten to the point where deodorizing my balls still leaves me with the smell even when sedentary.
I used irish spring bar soap to wash. My deodorant is 'Speed Stick: Overtime Stainguard' The deodorant I have works really well and I have no problems with it at all. I don't know if it's overpowering though. Just to be safe I'll make sure to switch over to dove. Thanks for the suggestion.
I don't think so. I have a raw crotch but that's from smothering deodorant on it constantly. I know it's unhealthy but it's my only alternative until I fix whatever's going on. I'll mention it when I go next week.
Nathan Anderson
>If my house smells like garbage it would likely infect my clothes, right? Yes, it will.
Andrew Diaz
Fuck. There's a really weird and bad smell that naturally comes from the apartment I'm living in. I can't really control it. So I have the stink of my BO AND my clothes? God damn, this is really frustrating to deal with.
Any way to make sure my clothes aren't affected? I plan on getting a house but that's a long ways away since I'm doing education before training in the job I'm looking for. Gonna have to deal with it for a while.
Oliver Lopez
I really think it's jock itch, since I've had it before and I smell it on other people.
There is no such thing as having a "raw crotch". Don't put deodorant in your taint, but even that shouldn't cause redness. Your armpit isn't red so why should your taint be? Put the medicated powder down there and it will literally clear up in a few days.
Ian Ortiz
>he comes in here smelling like ass and feet everyday if you smell like feet maybe u should get some shoe deodorizer or just buy new shoes if they're old. also make sure to wear socks. never wear your shoes barefooted or they will stink like shit from your dead skin cells feeding bacteria in your shoes. also using bady powder on your ass? thats just fucking weird and you should be made fun of for that wtf? are u a ham planet or something? what adult puts baby powder on their ass? what are you a big baby?
Blake Howard
Bleach bath once a week. Add like a cup of bleach to a full bath and soak in it for 15 mins once a week. Goodbye acne, BO, and allergies.
Leo Thomas
Tons of people do this. Why do you think gold Bond is a product?
Jordan Morales
Also the best way to prevent jock itch is to shower after every workout/anytime your taint gets sweaty before bed.
Chase Hernandez
Appreciate it, man. I'll see what I can do. Yeah, I'm too poor for new shoes. I wash my shoes in a washer (Yeah I realized that's bad but at the moment it seemed like a great idea) and dried them in a dryer. They smell clean. My socks smell clean. My feet smell clean. The nose really is misleading. I genuinely have no other choice but to ride it out.
I'm as poor as you can be in a first world country, save being homeless. I live with my mom at 20 currently. Washing products and new shoes don't come easily. Though I'm working on getting a stable trade so I no longer have to worry about that. I'll have a hard time even getting myself the products that were recommended to me and even getting to the doctor for a checkup. Mom's busy and forgetful.
>supplements like aminos and preworkout Me too I cut them out because they made my sweat smell weird
Brandon Anderson
Seriously? Not OP but I get horrible backne literally just from wearing my dirty gym shirt home, using a backpack will fuck up my shoulders too
William Thompson
God speed OP but maybe ask a friend or relative if you really do stink the staff at your gym MIGHT just be assholes
Joseph Anderson
Look it up. Practically the only consensus that dermatologists ever reached.
Zachary Sanchez
I feel for you man. This is the product I use. I found it at Walgreens for under 10 but I think closer to 5. I don't smell anymore, but it is kinda a recurrent problem for me. I can catch it pretty quick by smelling the ass region in my underwear after I take them off. If the rash isn't widespread it goes away within a day or two. It might take a week or so for you at the start.
Ik the powder is for athletes foot but it's safe for your ass/ball region as well. It's the same infection too just a different place on the body.
>What does your diet look like? Do you eat tons of junk food and still smell fine? >You sure you're not just used to your stink to the point where you don't smell it? I usually think I smell fine and then someone tells me I smell bad. ~4000 calories couple bananas, an avocado, couple kiwis, can of sardines for breakfast, 6 raw eggs ~1.2lb raw steak 2 sticks of butter ~2 cups of raw milk for dinner IF, widest eating window is 7 hours. was doing OMAD for a long time before this. the only time I had bad odor was when I tried eating a lot of raw onions. it oozed out of every pore of my body, not just my breath. everytime I tried using soap on my body growing up it made my skin feel "sticky" for lack of a better word.
Brayden Rivera
>Tons of people do this. i dont know a single person who does this. if you're putting powder between your ass checks theres a bigger problem that needs to be dealt with
Justin Hall
Swamp ass
Joseph Jackson
Wash your clothes at a laundromat, keep them in your car, and change in a public restroom?
Jordan Long
It's in the fucking movie Chef. Tell me what gold Bond is for then?
Jeremiah Gonzalez
Also the doctor visit will be the most expensive thing. And desu outside of having some super rare condition they won't tell you anything we haven't. The bleach bath might help, and the jock itch route might too. Try those first since they are cheaper, but if you give those a consistent effort and don't see progress you might have no choice but to see a general practitioner
Alexander Rodriguez
When you live with a smell everyday you get used to it. Your entire house/room probably stinks. Your clothes stink. You need to clean and wash everything and your body, all your clothes, then go to the doctor and see if you're ill.
Charles Jenkins
Bull fucking shit
Christian Diaz
Does this happen in your everyday life? It could be something in your sweat that stinks. If I were you I'd go to a doctor and consider getting home gym
Hunter Harris
>tfw married and autistic so I give zero shits about what thots think.
Jeremiah Evans
Neither is a dildo but that’s up your ass you fucking faggot
Logan Davis
No, it's stink up my ass, not a dildo. Also, a dildo is not inherently gay, homo. If I suck on a sucker I'm not gay, so if I lick a dildo, an inanimate, non-male object, I'm not gay.
Kevin Bailey
>a dildo is not inherently gay You really do have no hope.
Leo Myers
>He's so infatuated with men that a plastic object is enough to stop him from sticking a nice thick pole between your booty cheeks I'm sorry you think about men so much that you can't seperate them from an object. You're truly gay.
Nathaniel Green
Do you ever get tired of the mental gymnastics?.
William Miller
I'd rather do physical gymnastics over a nice plastic cock desu. Why don't you join me?
Jack Ortiz
Because I'm a degenerate and know what a real cock feels like. Why don't you join ME?
Samuel King
stop showering or using absolutely any hygeine products besides dental and nail trimming for literally a week
eat some plain yogurt
get back to showering ONCE a day and use a ph neutral soap
I've literally used deodorant like twice in the past 10 years. The other day I went to the gym, and was going to put some on before I went to work cause I didn't have time to shower, but I got home and changed my clothes and didn't put on the deodorant.. guess what? Didn't fucking matter, deodorant is a scam
Christian Stewart
here
I also think toothpaste is a scam but I still use it. But I think if you rinse with water every time food goes in your mouth you can go without that too
Some foods make your sweat smell pungent. What do you eat?
Christian Howard
Maybe it's your clothes.
Noah Fisher
I sweat a lot, always used an antiperspirant deodorant and noticed it made the smell really strong, a mixture of sweat and the strong deodorant smell. A few months ago I switched to a natural doedorant, deodorant only (that toms stuff i found in a drawer) and while i still sweat a decent amount, it really doesnt smell at all because the natural doedorant is rather neutral smelling, just a small scent instead of the strong scentt those antiperspirant deodorants use even if its the "fresh" soap like smell
maybe try that op
Nathan Reed
Find a dank basement gym. My gym smells like amine, old blood, and homeless armpit.
It's so bad that the gym smell leaches into my clothes and it wont wash out, I just have to wash gym clothes separately.
Instant noodles Hot dogs Frozen meatballs Sometimes a ""big dinner"", which for poor people like me means Spaghetti, Steak, ribs, or whatever food people typically have for dinner. Yeah, that probably explains why, even when I think I smell fine I get the reactions I do. Sucks, I don't have a car but I'm getting one as soon as possible after this training.
My armpits are fine, surprisingly. I have no problem with them at all. It's the other parts that are the problem.
Lincoln Wood
Avoid synthetic clothes, throw your old underwear and clothes that could keep the smell. I have old t-shirts that strongly smell when i warm up.
Gabriel Collins
Baking soda is great for smells o your clothes, shoes, armpits : wouldn’t put it on balls but maybe on your underwear?
Bentley Allen
Not OP but i've used this as a desodorant for at least 4 years. World very well
Julian Barnes
Probably your shoes man. I had a similar problem where I realized I was emanating a horrific decaying odor that was almost deathlike, yet was consistently showering and taking care of myself, it was always worse at the end of a day. Thing is, it was like foot smell evolved so I didn't make the connection until a really short coworker finally confronted me. It was the shoes all along, they would smell alright but as soon as I got them heated up or moist from wear they would reek. Funny I was an alcoholic at the time and just assumed it was my body decomposing
Mason Cook
Have you tried taking fiber supplements like metamucil? I also had a real bad hygiene ass-smell issue that made me want to die alone. Making my shit more solid actually helped out, since there wasn't any chance of sweat mixing with any afternoon post-shit residue.
Ian Russell
Don't forget to lather a finger up and wash up in the ass while showering. I've felt and smelt better ever since I started washing that part of myself.
Henry Ward
Check your shoes and socks bro. Mine start to get fucking rank after a few months. But I sweat far more than anyone else I know. I just kinda say fuck it man, deodorant doesn't really help me too much either. If I know I'm a lil smelly I just try not to walk too close to people. Also, fuck them at the gym. Why the fuck would you shower BEFORE you work out? Go in there fucking pungent and scentmog those little bitches and hit the shower after. Fuck em.
Adrian Thomas
Curry niggers stink because they wipe their asses with their hands.
Isaac Jenkins
If you had a fungus on your nuts you'd fucking know it if you're using deoderant there. Trust me.
Christopher Adams
Wash your clothes. Make sure your shoes don’t smell
Joseph Fisher
Jesus Christ, how is this a thread? How is it necessary for someone to need to be told this?
Nicholas Gonzalez
Definitely go to a doctor and have it checked out. I used to have a roommate who smelled really badly all the time too even though he seemed to shower, he had a gut problem so that may have been it. Although what I noticed with him is that his clothes smelled quite badly even directly after washing them, so I think that is also a possibility. At what temperature do you wash your clothes? As far as identifying the source of the smell you could ask a friend or family member about it, e.g. whether you smell after a shower, whether your freshly washed clothes smell etc. Also consider changing the hygiene products you use, a different deodorant or soap may help, sometimes those just don’t work for your particular body odor. And stop obsessing over your ass, if you wash it with water after wiping it will be clean enough, if you try wiping at some later point after sweating and the paper comes back clean you definitely know its clean enough and that that is not the source.
But anyways, if you can’t find the source I would assume its something you need to see the doctor about, so do that
They put it on their balls to cool them down. Not between their asscheeks so they don’t sweat. And they didn’t use baby powder , they used corn starch or something
Ayden Walker
On that note. Make sure if you’re using a washing machine to take your clothes out pretty much as soon as it’s finishes. Don’t leave damp clothes inside the drum to go dry - it will make them stink when they warm up. Had a housemate that used to this and his clothes smelled disgusting.
Throw out all shoes and buy new ones, same with socks. Get breathable type shoes and socks as well as you can. I went through a phase of wearing football socks everyday and it made my feet and shoes smell a bit. Also never wear shoes without socks on.
Wash feet with soap before and after work and make sure feet are properly dry before you put your socks on.
If that doesn’t work go and see a foot expert and check if you have some kind of fungus or athletes foot that’s making your feet stink and treat it.
Sebastian Wright
If you wanna 'clean' your shoes put them in a plastic bag in the freezer overnight, it'll kill the bacteria in them.
Aiden Nguyen
I think it depends on who is smelling who. I think every race thinks the other one smells.
Benjamin Stewart
Get over yourself.
Dylan Hernandez
This. Natural deodorant
Christian Powell
Can you dry your clothes outside? If you dry them indoors they're gonna absorb the smell, especially since they're damp. I know someone who dries his clothes in the same room where his cats' food and litter box are, his towels all smell like cat funk.
Robert Cooper

Luis Butler
Plenty of guys use baby powder on their balls and gooch.
Change your diet (avoid anything that contains large amounts of choline) and see whether it makes a difference. Or just do a genetic test.
If choline is the culprit: good bye eggs, liver, legumes, onions, beans, chicken, most fish, peanuts, broccoli, cauliflower, almonds, spinach .. so basically everything that's healthy.
Noah Richardson
Just own it mate. Apparently your disgusting musk is your head turner. See a doc, because I have friend who has cystic fibrosis and he smells like he's rotting, because his lungs are rotting. It's fucking disgusting and overwhelming to be within 10 meters of him, but you get used to it.
I hope this helps.
Gabriel Young
OP, start supplementing with fenugreek capsules. Legit makes you smell like maple syrup. Even your pee smells like syrup. My gf asked me the other day why I don’t smell like sugar anymore kek
Isaac Roberts
Wash your clothes and store them someplace clean, it's probably your clothes.
Leo Mitchell
Id go down the same logic Its your clothes isnt it You said youre poor so maybe they have that attic smell Wash all your stuff at 60 degrees celsius (go figure), including your shoes
Evan Peterson

Parker Johnson
As some anons said you could have a thing where you just stink. There is this one weird thing where your sweat smells like maple syrup. I used to train with a guy who had it. It was fucking disgusting and he smelled like complete shit but he couldn’t help it.
Jonathan Bailey
A bacterial or fungal infection can be the cause. There are also genetic disorders that can give you the stank.
What do you smell like? If you're fishy, you might have trimethylaminuria, Sweaty Feet smell could indicate isovaleric acidemia, Boiled cabbage odor suggests hypermethioninemia,
