There’s no shame in asking for a little help when it comes to premature ejaculation. And, as it turns out, prostate massage may be just what the doctor ordered.
Introduction
Prostate massage is the massage or stimulation of the male prostate gland for sexual stimulation or medical purposes. The prostate takes part in the sexual response cycle and is essential for the production of semen.
A prostate massage can be used for sexual stimulation, to release built up seminal fluid, or to relieve urinary problems. It can be done using fingers or a special device.
What is premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation (PE) is when ejaculation occurs sooner than desired, either before or shortly after sexual penetration. It may occur with all sexual activities, or only occur during certain activities. There are many possible causes, including psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, or relationship problems. Physical causes may include hormone problems, nerve damage, or certain medications. PE can cause significant distress and may impact relationships. Some men may try to avoid sex as a result.
Causes of premature ejaculation
There are a variety of different causes of premature ejaculation. In some cases, it may be due to a medical condition such as high blood pressure or diabetes. In other cases, it may be due to psychological factors such as anxiety or depression. In still other cases, it may be due to lifestyle choices such as smoking or alcohol use.
Does prostate massage help premature ejaculation?
There is some anecdotal evidence that prostate massage can help to delay ejaculation, but there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. Prostate massage may be worth trying for men who are looking for ways to prolong their sexual encounters, but it is not a guaranteed solution. If you are interested in trying prostate massage, talk to your doctor first to make sure it is safe for you.
How to perform a prostate massage
Before starting the prostate massage, you will need to insert a well-lubricated finger into the anus. Slowly work your finger in a “come hither” motion until you feel the prostate. It is located about two inches in, on the front wall of the anal canal. The prostate feels like a walnut and is usually about the size of a ping pong ball. Once you feel it, apply pressure and massage it. You can also stimulate the prostate with products specifically designed for this purpose.
Risks and side effects of prostate massage
Risks and side effects of prostate massage are similar to those associated with Digital Rectal Exams (DREs). These can include: -Rectal bleeding -Hemorrhoids -Infection -Prostate cancer -Rectal perforation
When to see a doctor
If you’re concerned about premature ejaculation, talk to your doctor. Some men with premature ejaculation may avoid sex as a result of their anxiety. A doctor can help these men find other ways to enjoy sex.
In some cases, therapy for premature ejaculation might involve taking simple steps, such as masturbation before sex to help you control your level of arousal during intercourse. Your doctor also might recommend counseling to help you manage your anxiety and sexual expectations.
Conclusion
While there is no definitive answer, some evidence suggests that prostate massage may help to delay premature ejaculation. The prostate is a sensitive gland, and stimulation of the prostate can often lead to sexual arousal and pleasure. In addition, massage of the prostate may help to loosen any blockages that may be causing premature ejaculation. If you are considering prostate massage as a treatment for premature ejaculation, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional beforehand to ensure that it is safe for you.
