Prostate Health: A Complete Guide
Understanding how the prostate works is an important part of men’s health and sexual wellbeing.
What is the prostate?
The prostate is a walnut sized gland located just below the bladder. Its job is to produce the seminal fluid that helps protect sperm and support its movement during ejaculation.
Finding your prostate is not always easy but you can do so with a finger or by using a sex toy, specifically designed for prostate stimulation. If using a finger, make sure nails are trimmed. Gently insert into the anus and use a come- hither motion. Alternatively, choose a sex toy you would feel comfortable using. We suggest something small and non-vibrating for beginners and always use lubricant.
Why do I need to look after my prostate?
The prostate plays an important role in both urinary and reproductive health. Understanding how it functions can help you recognise potential changes early and support overall wellbeing.
By being aware of this gland and its role in the body, you can stay alert to symptoms that may indicate conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, or prostate cancer, so you can seek medical advice if needed.
Common Prostate conditions
Prostate problems can happen at any age though they are more common in older men. As men age, their prostate gland often enlarges and for two thirds of men over 50 this won’t cause any problem. However, the other third won’t be so lucky.
We’ve listed some below:
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
This is when an enlarged prostate presses on the tube carrying urine from the bladder causing urinary problems.
Prostatitis
Is inflammation of the gland and can affect men of all ages. Sometimes this is caused by an infection, other reasons are not yet known.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the UK. Risk increases with age, and family history and ethnicity also play a role. Research is ongoing into lifestyle factors such as diet.
Symptoms to look out for to keep your prostate health in check are:
- Difficulty urinating
- Needing to urinate more than usual, especially at night
- Taking a long time to urinate
- Pain when urinating
- Pain during sex
- Pain in your lower back
- Blood in your urine
Can prostate massage help?
Prostate stimulation/massage has been used for centuries. Not only can it produce intense, multi and full body orgasms; for healthy men it can keep the prostate in good working order. By stimulating the prostate directly, you are ensuring that more fluid is released and therefore created, circulation is increased, and the prostate is cleansed.
You can stimulate/massage the prostate using a finger or a prostate massager.
However, if you have experienced any of the symptoms above, we do not advise you to stimulate/massage the prostate and see a doctor immediately.
Enjoy bigger and better orgasms
The prostate isn’t referred to as the male G spot for nothing. Once discovered, this gland can deliver immense pleasure you never thought possible.
Men in the know have described prostate orgasm as the most intense, earth shattering orgasm they have ever had, and once perfected, can lead to multiple and even full body dry orgasms!
