"The problem is smell. My husband is uncircumcised, which I generally enjoy. But when he pulls back his foreskin, there is often a ghastly scent. I would describe it as mostly urine or "man-musk." I really enjoy going down on him, but this is becoming a huge barrier (and turn off!) for me. I would describe him as very clean. He showers every day. But I guess I'm just not sure how he cleans his shaft?"
"There's an issue data you have presented to prove that he'd be mortified if you told him how his dick smells: It was collected when you were both drunk. You were indelicate (to be fair, he was rude first), and his emotions were almost certainly heightened. That the smell got better for a little while suggests that you did get through to him. Don't base your fears on his drunken reaction to your poorly chosen words."
A partner reports an uncircumcised husband whose retractable foreskin often emits a strong, urine-like odor despite daily showers, creating a barrier to oral sex. A past drunken confrontation left the husband embarrassed, but a temporary improvement in smell suggests hygiene changes are possible. Alcohol-heightened reactions should not determine future conversations. Encouraging gentle, practical hygiene measures such as regular retraction and washing beneath the foreskin, and using compassionate, nonshaming communication, can reduce odor and help maintain intimacy.
