Regular Sexual Activity is Also Good for the Prostate

Prostate massage is part of the digital rectal examination (DRE) routinely given to men by urologists in order to look for nodules of prostate cancer and to obtain expressed prostatic secretions (EPS) for examination under microscope. A few doctors, for a short period in the late 1990s, tried prostate massage in conjunction with antibiotics for the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, in more recent trials, prostate massage was not shown to improve outcomes compared to antibiotics alone. Therefore, prostate massage is not used to treat any medical condition today.

The term "prostate milking" appears to carry a more specialized erotic meaning as compared to the general term of "prostate massage", since it specifically invokes a fetishism of the male seminal fluids. Done internally either by lubricated finger(s), a prostate massager or other medical instrument, prostate massage may result in ejaculation without any genital stimulation. A prostate massager is an instrument used anally, designed to massage the prostate gland. The shape of a prostate massager is similar to a finger, since prostate massages are traditionally given digitally. They usually have a slightly curved head to effectively massage the prostate. A prostate massager should be used with care because of the sensitivity of the prostate.
