Masculine hygiene

After last weeks provocative entry and some related posts on Tumblr a few people looked at vintage advertisements remarking on how in a changed environment many wouldn't even get published not for anything to do with misleading or false claims something that in this country the Advertising Standards Authority (A.S.A.) deal with but more because of certain attitudes.
It's worth talking about what being male means in  terms of male hygiene because even when I was growing up  it wasn't unknown for some to regarding keeping yourself clean as effeminate behaviour.
Irrespective of contemporary attitudes as boys and men, we're active, we play ball games, rough and tough on the grass, we climb trees and explore holes for the fun of it which means we get dirty and work up a sweat that makes us smell of body odour.
We have no right to inflect that smell and dirt on others so it is our responsibility to remove germ spreading dirt from our bodies and to make ourselves smell and feel fresh so we need to wash and shower ourselves all over as responsible boys and men whenever we get like this.
To do that isn't to be 'sissy'.
We need to use a good soothing soap with a neutral smell that having removed the stale smell of body odour from our bodies leaves us smelling fresh free from anything unnecessary.
We wash in brisk efficient tough way to get the job done and we certainly don't linger for ages in baths taking in flowery smells.
Soups like Lifebouy or Imperial Leather are the best ones for us as our skin Ph factor is actually different compared with females.
No self respecting male should give any countenance to the idea of using flower scented soaps or agents in the bath water never mind the use of thing like Bath Balls as that is just such a feminine indulgence because quite simply if you do loving it you're a namby-pandy sissy femme pansy who really wants to live as girlie girls do.
We wash and keep ourselves clean the masculine way which right for us.
