You don't need to be rough with the penis to clean smegma. It is a normal accumulation in the presence of the foreskin which normally causes the fishy sell. Don't worry. You may withdraw your foreskin and apply a gentle stream of warm water either from a hose or the shower. Try this and avoid unnecessary contact with linen and other fabric.
