We live in a world where one must often sacrifice health for pleasure and vice-versa; for instance, if we want one kind of six-pack, we must forgo the other – that sort of thing.

In the rare instances where ultimate health and ultimate pleasure can be combined, you know we’re going to be all for it – even when they come together in seemingly unlikely ways.

In this case, the rare instance would be prostate stimulation through massage – which, while being the key to some mind-blowing experiences, may also potentially play a role in maintaining a man’s peak sensual health. When it comes to peak sensual health, some men may be hesitant as far as anal pleasure is concerned, but the benefits speak for themselves.

Here, we answer the top five questions about prostate massaging that any man might have on his mind.

What Is a Prostate?

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that produces the bulk of the fluid known as semen. It sits above the root of the penis, just below the bladder. It is a very important part of the male reproductive system.

What Are the Benefits of Prostate Massage?

The primary benefit of regular prostate massage is that it can enhance sexual pleasure and help produce more intense orgasms. Beyond this, research suggests that prostate massage may have some health benefits, particularly for men with enlarged prostates (as men age, the prostate typically gets larger in size). Massage can help improve symptoms associated with prostate enlargement, such as improving urinary flow. It may also help in relieving symptoms of prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate).

Does Prostate Stimulation Hurt?

When done properly, it’s the exact opposite. As shown in the stats of our prostate massage infographic, many men experience intense, long-lasting, and even multiple orgasms coupled with intense ejaculation when their prostate is massaged. While many men focus solely on external pleasure points, (namely, the penis) male biology’s best kept sexual secret often gets left in the dark (or more colloquially referred to as a place ‘where the sun don’t shine’).

Wait… It Feels Good!?

Assuming you like mind-blowing sex: yes. While there is always individual variability in what feels good sexually, many men find prostate stimulation to be extremely pleasurable, with some being able to orgasm from prostate stimulation alone! It’s time for men to stop envying women for their ability to experience intense, long-lasting orgasms. The prostate (sometimes called the P-Spot) is often referred to as the male version of the female G-spot.

Okay, How Do I Do It?

The prostate can be stimulated externally (by massaging it through the perineum) or internally (by massaging it through the anus). The most intense stimulation will occur via internal massage.

You can use a finger, but first you need to find the prostate and manually stimulate it by repetitively moving your finger back and forth. This can be a little tricky, so to take the job off of your hands (literally). We offer a variety of gentleman’s prostate massagers perfectly suited to the male body.

There’s the original BILLY, which has a slimmer form perfect for beginners and the fuller-formed LOKI for those who want a more intense experience.

LOKI Wave takes that pleasantly fulfilling form and adds the revolutionary WaveMotion to replicate the expert sensation of fingers beckoning you toward intense orgasm.

HUGO and BRUNO are the perfect plugs for hands-free stimulation, and HUGO comes with a remote control that puts your pleasure in your partner’s hands.
