No, I meant with the cleaning.

Well, I would seek further advice as well.

I understand that being circumsised means that "gunk" can't get caught and so cleaning is easier, but the men were born that way and if cleaned properly shouldn't get this problem.

So, I would continue to seek advice to be sure.

Did you understand my "thoughts" to your other questions?

I still don't get why you would fee compelled to want to do things with him, orally or with your hand if he is that infected.

CW

I don't feel compelled, its just that this whole thing is wearing on me as well as him. If it's safe to do so, why not (if he wants it of course.) Maybe its because I love and want to be with him that I'm not as grossed out as you think I should be? No offense intended.

None taken,

I didn't use any words that suggested I thought it was grouse.

Rather, the reality, if he has a yeast infection that is making him sore, itchy, and discharging "gunk", then it would hurt him and make it worse - friction.

Hense why I asked if you understood my answers to your question.

Perhaps his Doctor can explain this to you further, as it's not just "safety", I am thinking about, rather, the pain and further suffering he will go through and possibly you will go through if you have un-protected sex and oral, with thrush involved or a yeast infection.

And, the fact that any interaction could result in him not being cured, as you both continue to do things that cause it not to heal, so to speak.

I see your points, thanks. (I should talk to his Dr., maybe she can give
me some answers on sex, ect.) But what the Drs. are doing isn't working,
why is that? They haven't said much about that when I asked. (We havent been having much of any kind of sex either.) That's why I'm thinking alternative treaments and so on.

Google, male penis yeast infections. I viewed around 4 sites that weren't "advertising a product" and most agreed with the below.

His Doctor never mentioned "Monistat?" Which whilst used for women, is needed for you as you have been having sex with him, but can be used for him too, which at least will reduce this.

His Doctor didn't mention it gets passed back and forth? Which may be why your boyfriend is suffering so much.

Doctors tend to prescribe and offer solutions but they just don't seem to offer further advise as to what to do now, or preventions or even pose the question, do you have a girlfriend? Don't have sex until you both have cleared this up.

It saddens me, but it seems to be very factual with alot of posts I have read here.

Good luck.


Signs and symptoms of male yeast infections include:

• Soreness and irritation at the head of the penis
• Itching of the head of the penis
• White, clumpy discharge
• Red color at the head of the penis
• Burning sensation during intercourse
• Burning sensation during urination
• Severe itching and pain
• Red patches and blisters on the head of the penis
• Transient rash
• Jock Itch.

Men who are not circumcised may be affected worse than those who are because the foreskin holds in moisture. Men with HIV or other immune system disorders are also more susceptible to getting a male yeast infection.

Sometimes males who have yeast infections have no outward signs or symptoms.

However, if your female sexual partner gets a yeast infection after having sex with you, it might be a good idea to get yourself checked. Yeast infections can easily be passed back and forth between sexual partners.

Some males treat their yeast infections with Monistat vaginal cream which is typically used for female yeast infections. Put a few drops of white vinegar in the cream, mix it together and then apply the mixture to the affected area. Some people have reported great success with this method to treat male yeast infections, but the use of vinegar seems to be the key. Don't apply straight vinegar because it will cause a serious irritation in the sensitive genital area.

Some males with yeast infections may need to go to the doctor to obtain a prescription for Diflucan or Nizoral. Because Nizoral is a very powerful anti-fungal it is very hard on your liver. This is not something you want to take unless you absolutely have to. Diflucan is relative safe and there is one version that is available over the counter. FDA approved oral drug often clears the male yeast infection in just one dose.

Certainly he should exhaust all other possibilities before resorting to surgery.

...I should talk to his Dr., maybe she can give

I think I see the problem.
I also think I see why circumcision is so strongly advocated.

And I also think it's unnecessary.
I along with millions upon millions of other non-Hebrew men am uncircumcised, and it's never caused me any problems whatsoever.

And I can tell you for a fact that being uncircumcised adds to the pleasure of sex.

That's what my guy tells me! He's afraid to lose that.
He told me he'd lose like 75 percent of his sensitive
tissue. He's also read that some guys who got circumcised
as adults can go impotent later on from it.
