How to Wash Your Genitals
You will be happy to know that part of your tax dollars are going to fund a study that will help African men learn how to wash their genitals after sex.
Our government is spending $823,200 of the “economic stimulus funds” on this program. Here is the link: Link
I am hoping to get some of this government money too. I am starting right here. I want to encourage everyone on xanga to wash their genitals.
They want African men to wash their genitals within 12 hours of having sex. Personally, I think they should wash them pretty much immediately. (People who say I never take a position in my posts need to read that last line).
How often should a person wash their genitals?

That’s just so stupid. *smh* They deserve whatever nastiness they get for not washing their junk!
Uh. Every time you shower. wtf.
They’ve spent money on much more ridiculous things. Everyone should have the right to know how to wash their goods properly.
How often does your wife make you wash yours?
*face-palm*
Frequently.
Today’s unwashed genitals are tomorrow’s yummy a.m. treat!
Why is this study geared towards just African men? Everyone should wash their genitals on a regular basis.
Fun Fact: Some of the Knights Templar never changed their underwear as part of their oaths. They considered the dirtiness/stench to be proof of their piety.
I’m sorry, but this made me laugh. Make that howl…
I’m sorry, but…
I can’t even give a reply.
lol… um, every time you shower, which I hope is daily. You know those flushable wipes? They make for good freshening up.
@Southeast_Beauty - apparently they didn’t get the memo. $100k is being spent on making sure the government uses the proper font, $200k on the right sort of paper (they’re thinking pink with gloss), $300 on monkeys to screw in a lightbulb (and how to get the monkey in the lightbulb), and another $200k on liquor to celebrate how much money they got for working on this.
What? Save the money and give it to me. I’ll do it for them.
@Southeast_Beauty - Most African men are uncircumcised, and therefore if they do not clean their genitals they can form sores. These sores make it easier to contract HIV.
Heres a novel idea, lets wash them everyday in the shower?!
Wash?
Does this mean if you don’t have sex you never have to wash IT!
@Eternalimplosion - Hey! Great thinking! I hate standing in the shower and not washing. Is there a time limit?
I’m confused >__<!!! But then again I smell a lot of stinky people on the bus, but why is it limited to African people??
@ShimmerBodyCream - You can wash my stimulus package anytime you want.
@Gaijinsays - Nay! =]
If the man wants to wash when why teach him? if he doesn’t then he ante gona.
Soapy clean is the best. What on earth? Next lets spend $100000000000000 on how to tye your shoes I know some first graders who would be happy to teach them.
Uh.. everyday. When they take a shower….?
And.. before and after too, I guess.
I’m alittle confused as to why this is even an issue for them? && What exactly it solves for them?
Is it OK to stop washing them if you are trying to grow dreadlocks down there?
Ha, yeah. Make sure you wash them just after you’ve assisted in gang raping someone.
sorry, but I don’t trust anything that is from a news source that was originally named “conservative news service”
find another news source please and maybe then I’ll believe it!
Men only……….!!????? before after and in between.I suppose that’s it’s taken for granted that women know how!
Cup balls, smell hand.
Every hour
Hahahah…I love it ! Please stop by and check out my latest blog and the one that has all the pork lists
) However I do think it is the least they can do after Teskugee Experiment. ~ mom
Every time they take a shower. So at least once a day?
Why not just tell people to have sex in the shower?
@JJ_Ames - You stole my line!
*facepalms again”
interesting.
That is yet another insult by the American government on the culture of Africa or is it just ignorance? The money would be better spent making certain us poor Africans have access to water. Many townships have little access to water and it is often brought in trucks where people have to walk up to 5km to get it and then can only take 5 litres home.
@crazy2love - @HisKeiki - @Eternalimplosion - Considering I think Dan means ‘men who live in Africa’ when he says ‘African men’ (not ‘men of color’), I’m not sure all the males benefiting from this fund have the resources to take a shower/bath everyday, but perhaps some/most of them have the means available to at least give their genitals a good wash. I could be wrong, but that’s the impression I got.
uh doesn’t everyone wash their genitals while in the shower? i would say to wash it immediately after sex cus thats jsut nasty
omg O_o
Whaaaat???
Aren’t there a lot of Missionaries and other do-gooders who travel the world to teach, help, etc….. Let them teach those third world under priveliged people. They’ll do it for free and save us the money!
@TheRedheadChronicles - Bravo!
I read these comments and all I think is “hahahahahaha, people who get a shower every day…”
I’m a mom of three young kids with one on the way and let me tell you. Getting a shower four days out of seven is like awesome for me.
I’m nothing if not honest.
To make this comment somewhat on topic, cleaning yourself after sex is a good idea. It’s just downright more comfortable.
~V
Why are we spending our country’s economic stimulus money trying to teach people in ANOTHER country to wash? How does that benefit our economy?
Just wondering. I mean, if the African unwashed males are across the ocean, how does that hurt America?
I have a teacher friend in NJ who told me that they had a teacher “in-service” about how to teach the girls to wipe from front to back, and what to do with used tampons. He teaches HS History – don’t think he’ll be covering that in class.
Whoa whoa whoa……“I think…”?
This is amazing! ;P
@coconutjuicefrommexico - Here is another link for you Washington Examiner
I wash mine every hour on the hour. Cleanliness is next to scrodliness.
I like that they specifically say African men should wash within 12 hours after sex… I’ve never had sex with an African man. Do they do it differently so they should be singled out?
Are they going to “teach” women how to wash down there as well?
It cost that much to show ppl how to wash their damn privates? lol. Wow….
Are you serious?
Just think, if we lived under the sea, we’d never have to. Unless it was the gulf of mexico. =(
@Southeast_Beauty - this is what i’m wondering. EVERY man should wash their genitals. hahaha. my hubs always washes his after sex.
so, there are a lot of uncivilized people that don’t actually wash, still? what on earth
effing wonderful. this is another reason why my parents are in crippling debt from my college payments, because africans don’t know how to wash their penises.
I say survival of the fittest… let them help themselves.
about daily is what I’m thinking.
Your post is inappropriately titled, as it does not, in fact, have anything to do with “how to wash your genitals,” but rather merely asks how often one should (to which the answer is simple: often).
I guess everyone isn’t a clean freak like me…
Um, when I saw the title, I thought**WTF Dan!!* Now that I read it, I’m saying **thanks Dan for letting me know what my taxes help pay for** Now, I’m just frigging flamed!
Every day, if you don’t right after sex cause you’re going to bed, do it first thing in the morning.
Wow nasty…….. but yeah what a great way to spend American tax dollars.
Hey Dan, your Xanga fools can’t make the connection between our tax dollars being wasted under the banner of “stimulus” and the reality of our economy tanking. Maybe you should go back to your usual, “My huge audience of Xanga morons will understand this shit,” type post.
Always clean before and after having sex. It is sanitary and makes you more appealing to your partner.
So I’m just gonna say–
1) We’re talking about a continent with about… oh…. nil infrastructure. So it’s not like they can just “shower every day” and wash their junk then.
2) Good! As far as what the heck we’re doing with the stimulus money, humanitarian efforts that will slow the spread of HIV and therefore make it so we’re not forking over money for AIDS treatment all the goddamn time is good ethically and good economically.
@Galbsadi - (CNSNews.com) – The National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent
$823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA
research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their
genitals after having sex.
I think Dan got the title correct, unless the news article is wrong, and yes it is obvious to us that frequent washing of everything is a pretty good thing.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - and it is obvious that most of the responders didn’t actually read the article.
A lot? lol. At least every time you shower, which should be every day lol.
“Personally, I think they should wash them pretty much immediately. (People who say I never take a position in my posts need to read that last line).”
Ok, that’s funny.
Why just African men? That’s racist. Everyone needs to wash their junk immediately after sex. They should be spending that money to make “wash your junk” a part of Sex Ed in schools.
@valis10 - I disagree. Merely linking an article does not mean that one is discussing the same topic or the same aspect of a topic as the linked article. While the study is to receive money with which to teach African men how to wash their genitals, Dan’s claim of “I am hoping to get some of this government too” implies that he is doing the same, yet he is not. I stand by my earlier statement that the title is inappropriately applied.
@crazy2love - ROFL. Your picture just matches your comment too well.
@Eternalimplosion - I don’t think the rural poor in Africa have showers… or running water in general. Presumably (I haven’t clicked on the link), but presumably, this is part of the overall hygiene problem.
@quodmenutriut - Washing your genitals isn’t going to prevent AIDS or HIV. Abstaining from unprotected/unmarried sex will help. So, if we’re going to spend MY freaking money on anything, I’d like to see it spent on something productive-like teaching our youth that it’s okay to wait.
I just wanted to thank you for your tasteful photo choice for this entry.
Yep…pretty stupid. But if you think about it…this is .000001 % of what we spent on butchering Muslims in Iraq. Repubs…pennywise, dollar dumb.
@CrunchyMountainMomma - I didn’t say it would stop it. I said it would slow it. Clean genitals lead to less open sores, making it harder to pass the virus from one person to another. Basic health, 101. We can teach kids its ok to wait all we want, but if we don’t teach those who aren’t waiting about proper health care, what good does that do? Remember, we’re not talking about America.
@quodmenutriut - AIDS passes through the fluid, not sores.
@anaraug - LMAO!!! Bahahahahaha!
WOW…Just..wow.. I would assume that is kind of a given!!!! *sigh* People are idiots.
I think it’s a great idea. Some things maybe obvious to us but if they were never taught/educated about the possible harm,they’d probably never know to do it.
@ShimmerBodyCream - lmao
Considering that America is a developed nation and Africa is a developING nation still riddled with isolated tribes, I can imagine it would be quite hard for a person (not just a man) to be able to shower EVERYDAY like we can here. There are better developed cities in Africa where people have access to better hygiene products, but those places aren’t accessible by everyone. For the people who have limited access to water, it’s greatest use is probably for drinking rather than bathing, and even then it can still cary germs, bacteria, and possibly diseases. It’s naive to believe that everyone in the world can lead an average, middle-class American-like life. However, I have no comment regarding our government sending them our stimulus money. I have mixed feelings on that point.
What is truly scary is that they don’t know how to wash their genitals after sex already. Note to self: Never have unprotected sex with an
African gentleman who had to take part in this study. Then again they had to put “Do Not Take Internally” on hemorrhoid cremes for a reason.
Kat
people might think i wash mine too often. i was raised by my momma to be clean clean clean down there. i want a bidet in my bathroom. when i make it big i’m gonna have one or three
i think its a good thing they are doing this, i would gladly donate for that cause. how do people not see how its important….?
@CrunchyMountainMomma - yeah, I know. But the sores give the fluid (and therefore the virus) more openings/entryways.
@DrTiff - Yeah im quite aware of that, however i didn’t clink the link either and Dan provided no context for his question. haha, =]
@flying_luminescent_ceilingtile - Why in the world should my tax dollars go to teach anyone how to wash their genitals? Just trying to feed my kids here requires at times 2 jobs–and my sweat and labor goes to pay for THAT? It’s no wonder the country hates their government
@firetyger - Can you believe that 800,000 American tax dollars is going to this shit while Americans everywhere are struggling to stay in their homes, to feed their kids and to keep their electricity on?? OMG this flames my red head in ways that make me want to (swear) (swear) write Obama “stupid President” letters. I feel a blog/rant coming on…
I wash mine vigorously and often. In fact, I wash them so often that now I have to wear glasses. Can I get tax dollars for that?
I’m afraid I’m going blind.
I found this interesting, so I looked up some information via the link you provided. It seems that this is much more about helping to stop the spread of HIV than about how or when to properly wash your genitalia.
An excerpt from http://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_description.cfm?aid=7814411&icde=5021426 so that you may check it out says in the description that the purpose of the study is to look at: “The protective effect of-male circumcision on HIV acquisition may be due to improved genital hygiene.”
I think that the study itself is quite interesting, and if they have found a way to potentially help stop the spread of HIV that is wonderful!
Thanks for posting this! It helped me to gain some new and interesting knowledge!
That’s our tax dollars doing good, making friends and cleaning……………?
The bare minimum would be when the itching becomes unbearable, I would guess . . .
dat rasis
@anaraug - hilarious!
“. I am starting right here. I want to encourage everyone on xanga to wash their genitals. “
You are my hero.
The pentagon spent 1-million trying to determine if burning a picture of a Soviet Missile would destroy it. (James Randi mentions this in his book Flim-Flam if you need a source.)
So there have been worse government allocations.
This is *so* funny. Still laughing.
@fouillis - lolwut?
@Southeast_Beauty - I know right?
As a black man, I don’t need to learn, I already know how.
My problem lies not with washing my genitals after sex, but how to get more sex.
@SlackerSociety - He did say the study was geared towards African men, though. You are not African. You are American, of African-descent.
Hahahahahahaha
@Southeast_Beauty - oh ok. but then the bigger goal in mind should be to supply them with soap so they CAN wash themselves.
Yeah but what about girls? Some girls need to learn how to wash their genitals too, trust me.
Oh.my.gosh. This is sad
Haha that is funny. I like feeling clean.
@SlackerSociety - If you don’t clean under the skin of an uncircumcised penis it can develop sores. These sores make it easier for a man to contract HIV. I’m not sure that’s confusing so I don’t know what warranted your comment.
One needs the government to tell people that if it smells like its rotting, it just might be rotting
Do any of you idiots realize how few Africans have access to running water, much less a daily “shower”? Hundreds of thousands of African males doesn’t have amenities like water heaters, soap, bathrooms, shower stalls, etc., so going a few days between showers is quite normal.
@ShamelesslyRed - Instead of keeping electricity on, this particular $800,000 might just keep 1,000,000 people from dying from disease. Poor Americans, indeed.
Show me your genitals
I wash mine every day. I like to shower after sex, so they usually get washed after sex. I at least clean myself off after haha.
In this context, geoengineering means deliberately altering
the atmosphere, land, or ocean to counter the effects of global warming.

@JJ_Ames - Lol. Best comment. Ever.
WTF!? this is something I learned when I was like 2
While knowing how to properly wash you genitals is a fine skill to have, I don’t think it should end there. Now, if you could learn how to talk a total stranger into washing your nugget pouch for you, well then, then you would really be ahead of the game.
@valis10 - hm that’s a blog. each site I click on doesn’t look very reliable and usually emphasizes on how it’s a right wing site or their source is cns news. how come this story isn’t on any more known or credible news site? i feel like even FOX is more credible than these shady sites i keep finding.
i just feel like they’re leaving something out of this story. also, with bills that pass that have this much money involved usually a large percentage is pork, so it’s most likely going to something for individual districts.
the gov’t does waste SO much money still. i remember something not too long ago for a turtle bridge…a TURTLE BRIDGE! millions of dollars…god.
I had to look hard and make sure this wasn’t a DearRicky post
It is a tad harder for those people who say don’t have a shower, or haven’t grown up with one and thus don’t utilize an available one as often as one should. I’m assuming (without looking at the link, which could be making an ass out of you and me) that this is more of whom they are targeting with this program. If you grow up in the bush, you might not know you ought to wash your genitals often, or after sex. We take our hygiene education and availability for granted in this country.
Every day in the shower.
@ShamelesslyRed - It burns bad
@ShamelesslyRed - I never said that our tax dollars should go to teach anyone how to wash their genitals. Just to go to school and make my own ends meet requires me to have two jobs myself, so don’t think you’re the only one struggling to make it. And like I said, I have mixed feelings on the issue anyway. In one way, I loathe it as much as anyone else to think that the American government is taking care of other nations before its own, and in another way I appreciate it because, on a human scale, I hate to see anyone suffering with poverty, uncleanliness, starvation, lack of education, etc. But to delve into an issue like that on Xanga is ludicrous, many of the naive and selfish comments here alone are proof of that. Anyway, I’ve probably just invited more flamers to my comment so I’m gonna stop while I’m ahead.
@fouillis - Correct! Thank you!!
@fouillis - I think it was the absurdity that black male=uncircumcised warranted my comment. no worries here.
Have a good day.
…our STIMULUS MONEY?
I can’t even begin to tell you how pissed I am about that. The stimulus money is meant for OUR country, for OUR economy, not the stinky penises of grown men in some OTHER country who don’t even know how to wash themselves.
We need to take care of ourselves first, or a day will come when we CAN’T HELP ANYONE ELSE ANYMORE.
@ShamelesslyRed - I agree, absolutely. While it sucks that they have limited access to cleaning facilities, it’s not our fault! They’re in a bad situation but I am not the one who put them there, and I don’t want to be lied to and told our tax money, which we earn through our own labor, is going to help us stimulate our own economy, when in reality they’re using it to wash penises.
You’re grounded, young man. For shame!!
This is actually a very interesting topic. I never thought I’d see the day you’d be talking about genitalia. I must keep in mind that your blogs are pretty hot stuff with all the juice and spice most of only dream of writing about. Washing of genitalia should be way more oft than within 12 hours of sex. Before it, after it, and in-between just for funsies. A clean crotch is a happy crotch far as I’m concerned. Teaching them to clean such a delicate area is very important. Especially if it is a person who is uncut. Luckily for me, the one person I WAS with who had that was insanely clean. Like…to the point where a ball of paper would freak him out kind of clean. But do we have to spend so much money on it?
