Not sure why this is happening...

Hi there.

I've rejoined the gym recently after having taken a looong break.

After a full workout (bodybuilding) I notice that while the rest of my body isn't excessively sweaty, my boxers always seem to sweat profusely in the same spot, each time: where my balls are. It's not a puddle or anything, but it leaves a clear mark and it smells quite musky.

Is this just testosterone? :what:

[Nnoki]

I think it is, are you shaved?

[Edward_A]

I think it is, are you shaved?

Yes, I am.

[Nnoki]

Well, I know that when I had a bush I sweated more so I really don't know about you

Must be hormones, haha. (I think).

[Nnoki]

Must be hormones, haha. (I think).

Yeah, I guess

Maybe depending on the activity you're doing the moisture collects there the most and your boxers are absorbing it
Any other sweat would just dry and you wouldn't notice

I know I sweat a lot there, but it mostly can't be helped

Oh. That's true, I suppose. Oh well!

I have noticed that some guys I play basketball with have the same issue, and they get sweaty right down the center. People seem to get sweaty in all sorts of odd places whether we are talking along their back, legs, their stomachs, etc. I think it is just a sign that you are getting into your adult body and nothing more.

That seems like valid reasoning tbh

I know my balls seem to be particularly sweaty after gym class. Maybe it's biology: your body sweats to cool itself down, and your balls hang outside your body because they need to keep cooler than the rest of your body so if you're exercising and getting hot, then maybe your balls get extra sweaty to cool them down?

All guys sweat a lot in the crotch and balls area. It is quite normal. Also the musk smell is normal it is a male scent that we all have.

[Hermes]

Yes, it's caused by testosterone. That causes a different, oilier kind of sweat in your crotch and arm pits. It is not that this sweat is more plentiful than sweat elsewhere on your body but the oil in it does not evaporate, so those areas stay wetter.

[Anomaly6]

Yup, pretty normal!

[Coping]

I get pretty sweaty around my balls too after a workout, but that's what showers are for. :)
