      Rubbing soap on any part of your body in a way that simulates sex is not “safe”… Especially if that area is your junk.

        I don’t see how masturbating with soap has any increased risk of soap in the urethra than normal washing. Especially when you wash yourself everyday. It would also matter on how often you do it. If you’re jerking it with soap every time you jerk it yeah you increase the likelihood but if it’s a once in a while thing it would be a negligible increase in odds.

        I can’t believe I just put that much thought into jerking it with soap.

          Men have a similar, although not as sensitive, environment under their foreskin as women do, so it’s not just the urethra that is the issue. That being said, the consequences of that are usually limited to itchiness and a smell, and not a full-blown infection.

            Yeah, I call bullshit on this. Not washing under your foreskin is how you get an infection, not washing there too much.

              You should wash under there with lukewarm water or, if you absolutely feel the need to, gentle soap that is specifically made for cleaning your privates. Doing it with regular soap can cause issues.
