In addition to other functions, the prostate is an organ in men that happens to provide pleasurable sensations when stimulated, much like the “g-spot” for women. This makes prostate massage not only a healthy activity, but also an enjoyable one. During the massage, the prostate is stimulated both on the outside against the perineum and on the inside through one’s rectum. Pressure is applied on these areas, generally attaining pleasant results. For men who find it awkward to be massaged by a stranger, vibrating prostate massagers have also become more popular (and easier to find) among men who prefer to do the massaging themselves or with their partner. Other benefits of prostate massage include treating erectile dysfunction. Many men have found it effective in producing more potent ejaculations—and orgasms—every time. A prostate massage once every month is a healthy routine for those with a healthy and functional prostate. On the other hand, those with swollen prostate could make use of a prostate massage once a week to help minimize the swelling, as well as improve one’s urinary function and sexual performance. – Dr. Dan Sperling

In ancient times, prostate massage was mentioned in ancient Chinese, Indian, and Greek medical texts. Traditional Chinese medicine recognized the prostate as an important organ and believed that its stimulation could improve overall health and vitality. Indian Ayurvedic texts also referenced prostate massage as a means to promote sexual health and balance energy in the body. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, prostate massage gained popularity in Western medicine as a treatment for various conditions, including prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland) and other prostate-related issues. Doctors would perform the massage manually or using specially designed tools to relieve symptoms and promote better prostate health. Over time, the medical community shifted its focus toward other treatment methods, such as antibiotics, and prostate massage became less commonly prescribed. However, the practice has persisted as a form of sexual stimulation and exploration, particularly within the realm of erotic or sensual activities.
