Over the last year, several of my clients have shown curiosity about prostate massages, apparently a new hot trend in male sexuality, whether heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual. Several health professionals are recommending prostate massage as a preventive health practice, and some men are reporting it gives them the best orgasms they have ever experienced.
In some Asian countries, prostate massage therapy is widely practised by men to enhance their sexual performance. A side benefit may be the fact Asian men tend to have lower rates of prostate cancer. Historically, men who had many wives or mistresses hired monks or doctors to administer prostate massages to help ensure they could perform sexually. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis in front of the rectum.
The urethra runs through the centre of the prostate, from the bladder to the penis, letting urine flow out of the body. The prostate secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. During ejaculation it squeezes this fluid into the urethra and it is expelled with sperm as semen. The prostate is responsible for regulating much of male sexual functioning.
It produces prostatic fluid, which is an important component of semen and a contributor to higher fertility. The prostate also helps men experience more satisfying sexual encounters and can be an important component in sexual dysfunction, such as loss of erections or ejaculatory problems. It is affected strongly by the testosterone levels produced in the testes. So why is regular prostate massage healthy and what are the benefits? If you think you have prostate problems, it's really important to check with your doctor first to see if a prostate massage is suitable.
