Prostate massage and milking are common practices of those who want to keep their prostate working properly. When you are concerned about the health of your prostate, you may look for ways to be sure it stays healthy and cancer-free.

In fact, the stimulation of the prostate can be for both medical purposes and sexual purposes.

Most men will use this type of therapy because they are experiencing chronic prostatitis, which is very painful.  When the milking or massage is done, the pain tends to go away for a while.

Prostate Massage -Medical Equipment

There is medical equipment you can use to do the procedure yourself, in the privacy of your own home.  You can also have a specialist do it for you, if you are unsure how it should be done.  Many doctors will use their fingers for the procedure.

The purpose is to stimulate the prostate gland without actually ejaculating or having an orgasm. Every time you have sex, the prostate gland is stimulated.  However, when you stimulate it manually, you will be able to relieve any buildup of fluids that may be causing problems.

You should know however that if you have acute prostatitis, you should not engage in massaging or milking the prostate.  Doctors warn against these practices in this case because the infection that you have in your prostate can then spread throughout your body when you massage or milk the gland.

Prostate Massage – Milking The Prostate

In many cultures, the act of milking the prostate is something done to encourage celibacy.  It allows the body to disassociate the sense of releasing the built up semen with pleasure.

Some people choose to numb the testicle area before milking prostate massage. This will help them to not feel the procedure as much and may make it more comfortable for those that are not sure how to react.
