What Is a Prostate Massage?

Classical Prostate Massage, also known as Prostatic Massage, Prostate Milking, P-Spot Massage, or Male Sacred Spot Massage, is a treatment in which a finger is inserted into the anal canal and rectum to stimulate the prostate gland. You can do it yourself, it can be carried out by a sexual partner, or by a trained therapist or medical specialist.

Mind that the prostate gland itself is not touched (that’s not possible), but rather manipulated through the inner front wall of the rectum.

An important technical goal of Prostate Massage is to release excess or stagnant prostate fluid from the ducts of the prostate gland. By the way, prostate fluid is released during sexual arousal and ejaculation, becoming part of seminal fluid, which mixed together with sperm cells and some other fluids is called semen.

The main functional goals of Prostate Massage are to achieve healing benefits by releasing excess prostatic fluid (this, for instance, may reduce symptoms of benign prostate enlargement), stimulating nerve and blood vessels around the prostate for optimal prostate function, or to achieve sexual pleasure. In the latter case, Prostate Massage is considered a Sensual Erotic Massage.

Having said that, mind that Prostate Massage can also be part of a rectal examination, which is given to men by an urologist or other professional healthcare provider to look for signs of prostate cancer, or alternatively to obtain a prostatic secretion sample for microbiological research, for instance to diagnose prostatitis.

Sometimes a so-called prostate massager is used instead of the fingers, which is a (sex toy) device to massage the prostate gland. In addition, tools such as anal beads, butt plugs, and warm herbal compresses may also be used.

Apart from massaging the prostate internally, the treatment can also be given externally by applying pressure on the perineum (the area between the testicles and the anus) or even through massage of the lower abdominal region.
