I don't have a boy so don't have to do it BUT I tend to try and keep Faith's teats clean and gunk free...she sometimes has other ideas and tries to sit on my head

so I just try to clean her up as and when I get the chance.

I think with a gelding it wold be a similar story - clean it whenever you get the chance! If it's really loppy then it would be worth cleaning it properly and getting all the gunk out, but otherwise I think Sol's idea (and I think haffy does something similar) of just squirting it with baby oil to keep things loose and to stop dirt from sticking is a good thing.

I will only do it very occasionally - funnily enough did Harveys today as he had a bath all over - it was pretty clean anyway so i just gave it a quick hose. Unless they've got problems in that area and something needs treating I think its better left for nature to do it's thing

They can take the future that we'll never know, they can take the places that we said we would go, all the broken dreams, take everything, just take it away, but they can never have yesterday.

I will also do it if they start to smell or squeak.
