Why You Should Stimulate the Prostate and Ways to Do It

For some, the prostate would be considered the “male g-spot,” but for many people, the pleasures of the prostate have yet to be explored. There are a lot of reasons why some people may shy away from prostate stimulation such as stigma, shame and lack of education. Still, we are going to help you better understand the prostate, the pleasure it can offer and ways to stimulate it.

What is the prostate?

The prostate is a walnut-sized organ inside the groin area of AMAB (assigned male at birth) persons. It creates the semen that comes out during ejaculation and carries sperm. The prostate can be felt externally or internally. You can feel it externally by massaging the space directly at the end of the penis base and the rectal opening. You can feel the prostate internally by inserting a finger into the anus and tilting it forward in the direction of the penis.

Benefits of prostate stimulation

Stimulating the prostate can help to release fluids in the prostate ducts. Though prostate stimulation done for this specific reason is really only done in medical settings, it can be done for pleasure and still yield the same result. Prostate stimulation has been shown to have positive health benefits, from helping to ease prostate swelling that impacts the urethra and urinating to even helping to minimize the chances of prostate cancer. Enhanced experiences of pleasure are also a benefit of prostate stimulation. Direct stimulation of the prostate can be sexually pleasurable thanks to all the nerves in and around the prostate that are stimulated. 

Ways to stimulate the prostate

• Do it with a partner or by yourself. You can stimulate the prostate by yourself or with a partner in a multitude of ways. If you choose to have a partner stimulate make sure you’re vocal and communicate with them, especially if y’all have never done this before. You’llwant to let them know if they are applying too much pressure or not enough, if they are too deep, if they are hitting it, etc. 
• Get in a comfortable and accessible position. If you are choosing to stimulate by yourself you are going to want to be in a position that makes it easier to do it. Being on all fours (doggy position), lying face down on your stomach, lying on your back with your legs up and lying on your side are all great positions for solo prostate stimulation. 
• Use lube. Always use lube. The anus is not self-lubricating so internal stimulation of the prostate would not be as pleasurable without lube. Lube is also good for external stimulation to minimize friction and to make the movement of fingers on the skin easier.
• Throw some toys into the mix. There are a variety of toys designed to stimulate the prostate and the vibration of sex toys can offer new stimulation. The We-Vibe Vector+ is a prostate massager that is remote controlled allowing you to experience hands-free pleasure. If you don’t feel ready for vibration yet the Intro to Prostate Play Kit is a great set to help you explore prostate play and work your way up to vibrating toys.

Now that you have a little more understanding of the prostate and the pleasure it can offer are you ready to explore that new world? Take your time as you explore and adjust as necessary for a prostatutely pleasurable time.
