A Very Sensitive Subject Among Men

I...do not...know why I clicked this thread. What was what I believed an innocuous thread about trouser wear turns into how to stave off ball sweat! Awesome...you guys are a blast! Does Gold Bond/talcum also work on sticky or sweaty bass necks?

Ha. Actually that cure is either the stuff they use in pool halls to make the cue slide in your hand or sanding the neck with fine sandpaper or a scotch pad up and down the neck. I would recommend NEITHER for your wedding tackle.

I find gold bond a little too "minty" (i suppose thats the "medicated" part) and baby powder a little too "flowery". Any alternative suggestions for lightly scented or unscented?

As for application, shake the powder out of the bottle, don't squeeze! A little on the skin a little in the skivvies. Less is more.
 
Honestly, and I know this is going to sound weird to some, but by going commando, I haven't had ball sweat in years that wasn't the direct result of working out/running/etc. I think it's got something to do with keeping a proper air flow around your manliness, and underwear restrict said air flow.

Try it for a few days, my bets are your peanuts will be fresh and lively.

P.S. my Ex loved it, both the commando part and the fresh and spirited scent from my penguin.
 
Welcome to one of the best kept secrets of man. (Said as serious as can be.)

Coating your crotchal region with talc is not only comfortable, but hygenic as well, so you don't get that rising aroma later in the day, commonly known as "Fromunda". (The cheese "from under" your balls.)

I use it also at night, because I sleep with a pillow between my legs, and if I get hot, I don't have to worry too much about getting uncomfortable because my legs are sticking together. Plus, it keeps the wife happy as I am not getting testicular sweat on our bedding.

One thing to keep in mind, is do not wear talc if you know you are going to be getting some sexy action - no woman wants to taste talc and you don't want it to go in places it shouldn't.

As for my technique, I cup my hand below my nuts, shower it liberally with talc, and use a "scooping/slapping" motion on the entire crotchal region. I do it about 3 times, and rub between the cracks between my legs and testicles on each side and make sure to coat the taint as well.

Ah ha ha ha!!:D:thumbup:
Fromunda. That's a goodie!
