So I have balls and yeah they're the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I'm in a hurry and I don't smell much. That's with working a job that's usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn't bathe every day. I didn't notice much smell then.

Now I see these ads regularly that are like hey women you stink after 12 hrs 5/10. What's up?

Relax bud. I sit still most days. Web developer. Half the week I work from home. Usually wear the same clothes for about a week. Not socks or underwear though, change those almost every day. T-shirt normally change after 2-3 days. 👍 Shower about 2-3 times per week. I use Aleppo soap. It keeps you clean for much longer, too.

lol, so worked up about it, too. You okay?

The guy who suggested I don't wipe my ass properly everyone!

Wow, you're ganging up on me, too?

It wasn't like I was accusing you, I was just curious.

As someone who also works from home as a software Dev, shower more often and change shirts more often. You stink.

Another one who can't grasp the fact that bodies are different. I expected more from a fellow dev. Shame. 🫤

You do realize I shower more often than 4 days, right? That's what I've been saying all over this thread, that after 4 days is when I do start to stink a little bit. 👍

Keep talking to me like you've met me before...

I don't stink. I shower way before I start to stink. I told you, all of you, I start to stink a little bit at day 4, but I shower about every other day, at the gym twice a week and at home during the weekend. It all amounts to no hygiene issues. I am also very thorough with my junk after peeing and no. 2. I wipe with paper and wash with water if I can't get it perfectly clean. You don't know shit about my hygiene so leave me alone. Prejudiced jerk.
