Use a cream made for jock itch. It will do wonders, I promise. ---

I don’t know what to do about it but It really chaps my ass when that happens. Hence the term" horns of a dilemma". ---

Pamper his lil’ soldier with some TLC… the actual exact efforts need not be discussed, only know that whatever you do, he’ll thank you for it! Wet Platinum works, as well, along with Astroglide. Shave those unruly areas, that helps some. Just give him some “light” days and he’ll heal. ---

Welcome, Doc! I’m not sure how new posters here find these ancient threads, but I highly recommend checking the posting dates on them when you do. Given that this thread hadn’t been posted to for 11 years before you posted, presumably the OP and her then-BF have long since remedied their problem. ---

Just fight your way through the pain and build up those callouses, and let me know if that works. ---
