on 10/21/2008 Hot water would probably hurt! Also, a cotton ball is unnecessary. Might leave cotton residue. It's also not recommended to use soap in that area. Over-washing (3+ times a day not recommended either)

It's sufficient for a guy to just pull back the foresin and rinse in his daily shower.

on 9/12/2008 Hot water! No way. This is the most sensitive part of a man's body. Even a stream of water can be painful. I just pull the skin back, let lukewarm water gently flow over it and that's it. I do it once a day unless I'm having sex, then I do it again. If for some reason I get a build up I use cold cream to loosen it, then rinse with warm water. As for the odor, look if you have a foreskin, odor is part of the deal. It's distinctive, but unless you don't wash for a couple of days it's not too tangy.
