Overview

Daniel rejected viewer assertions that poor hygiene caused his yeast infection, maintaining that he cleans behind his foreskin daily with warm water without soap.

Reported allegation

Daniel suspected he contracted the yeast infection from unprotected intercourse with a specific female partner in Japan.

After topical yogurt provided only temporary relief and left him with severe itching and redness, Daniel purchased two tubes of athlete's foot antifungal cream from a supermarket pharmacy for roughly $40, telling the clerk it was for his feet out of embarrassment.

Noting the packaging prohibited application on eyeballs, inside the mouth, or on the vagina without explicitly forbidding penile application, Daniel applied the athlete's foot cream to his penis, experiencing brief intense stinging followed by cooling relief and numbness.

Following application of the cream, Daniel grew concerned over penile numbness, a minty toothpaste-like smell, and difficulty achieving a full erection despite attempting to watch pornography prior to seeing his girlfriend.

Because the intense itching had previously led to thoughts of cutting or burning his foreskin, Daniel reflected on potential benefits of circumcision, resolved to attempt using condoms for future hookups to prevent infections such as HIV, and made plans to buy food and probiotic yogurt.

Themes

Genital hygiene routines and defense against viewer claims of poor hygiene.

Reported allegation

Suspected transmission of a yeast infection through unprotected sex in Japan.

Ineffectiveness of home yogurt treatment and purchase of athlete's foot cream at a Japanese supermarket pharmacy.

Penile application of athlete's foot cream, packaging warnings, and ensuing physical symptoms.

Reflections on circumcision, future condom usage, and subsequent dietary plans.

Developments

Daniel experienced worsening penile itching and redness after prior yogurt applications ceased providing relief.

Daniel visited a supermarket pharmacy, asked in Japanese about antifungal cream while stating it was for his feet, and bought two tubes of athlete's foot cream for approximately $40.

Daniel returned to his guest house and applied the athlete's foot cream to his penis, feeling intense stinging for about two minutes before the onset of numbness and relief.

Daniel attempted to watch pornography but could not achieve a full erection.

Uncertainties & gaps

Whether Daniel contracted the yeast infection specifically from a Japanese partner with a mole on her back.

Whether the athlete's foot cream is safe for penile application or if the package warning regarding the vagina was intended to prohibit use on all genitals.

Whether Daniel's penile numbness and inability to obtain a full erection were caused by the cream or by feeling grossed out by having cream on his penis.
