I "clean their trunks" every two weeks when I trim their nails. I do it just to get them used to the idea in case it even becomes neccessary for real. I use grapeseed oil, which is okay for them to ingest, and cotton swabs. It is stinky but washing your hands with soap and them rubbing them down with table salt and rinsing gets rid of the odor on your hands. I didn't do it when they were younger, only after they were 3 yrs old, and there wasn't much to clean out even then. I think that a syringe could scratch the tissue and perhaps lead to more issues.
As for getting boars, they don't PMS on you. Love my boys, don't think I'd have girls, but it's a personal choice. I know that slaves adore their sows as well.
