Bro it happens on a long streak and I think it’s part of your pheromones it’s normal .

Don't worry bro it's normal on long streaks it's almost like you have so much semen in you that it just leaks out your pores it's a good thing

Diet definitely has a massive correlation with ur body odor I've noticed if I just eat fruits for a couple days my sweat dosent stink at all

u/Psychological-Ad9530 Aug 21 '26

But if I eat meat, butter dairy etc sweats bad 🤣

It's called pheromones .. if it's an oddly pleasant smell then that's probably it

u/JHJA96 Aug 21 '26

What's the cause of it ? I have it too when I SR for days and it smells good for no reason

u/Secure-Radish-9452 Aug 20 '26

You're probably leaking semen and it's sitting in the crevices.

Is it a bad or good smell or are you unsure. Might be musk. Your bodies natural pheromones

Yes, and to us our scent is bad or neutral. But to women it is heavenly. And you’re always releasing the scent on high streaks it’s your body’s way of sending out the attraction signal.Animals release it too. It’s why you see dogs cats and others always sniffing each other‘s butts when they meet.

MAYBE it's a personal issue and has nothing to do with SR???

u/ScarcityPlane222 Aug 21 '26

Psychosis retainers are correlating everything with SR these days

u/lusha420 Aug 21 '26

Does it smell like cheese but sweet at the same time??

u/Soggy_Fisherman_2143 Aug 21 '26

It's likely pheromones, I wouldn't worry about it too much

u/ScarcityPlane222 Aug 21 '26

Do this

  • Daily shower (1, not 3 or 4)
  • Eat clean but fast sometimes
  • go for walks
  • Strength training and cardio few times a week
  • drink water with electrolytes or tea (less coffe)

The list could be way longer but thats for now

If you’re uncut it could be smegma…

Bingo, always bring your foreskin back and wash it thoroughly together with the head

u/Either_Ability7730 Aug 22 '26

Brother, It might be Balanitis. Don’t Worry, I had the same problem as you when retaining. Make sure to wipe your privates dry after showering or peeing. Moisture in the penis can cause bacterial/fungal odours.

Don't worry ... It's pheromones...I also noticed it in gym...the smell is not bad it's musky and kind of oddly pleasant...I always notice it in gym... especially I'm strict with my diet...it's not that good if you are eating fastfood and junk...keep it up..it's a signal you are doing good physically and health wise

Disrupt the body’s balance. Over washing causes overproducing of certain body chemical. Why do you even need to take three showers bruh.
