What is a prostate massager, and how does it work? Have you been thinking of introducing a prostate massager in your sex life but don’t know how to do it? Below is a complete guide on how to use a prostate massager, including; what is a prostate massager, tips for using it, and styles.
The prostate is part of the reproductive system connected to the penis and testicles. It’s situated in front of the rectum and underneath the bladder. The prostate produces fluid that combines with sperm cells from the testicles and seminal vesicles to create semen. Prostate stimulation can lead to orgasms. The prostate is located next to the rectum, and it can be stimulated through anal penetration. Prostate massagers help people with penises massage their prostate effectively. The vibration from the massagers adds more stimulation to the prostate, causing those with less sensitive prostates to orgasm where other stimulation would not.
What Is A Prostate Massager
According to Morales et al. (2018), a prostate massager is an anal toy designed to stimulate the prostate gland. Most prostate massagers have smooth, rounded tips to make them easy to insert into the anus. They are curved to press the part of the rectum that rests along the prostate. Prostate massagers are made from medical silicone and stainless steel.
Most prostate massagers have vibration modes for added stimulation, and others are designed with an external component that presses against the perineum. If you’re thinking of purchasing a prostate massager, ensure you get one with a flared base to prevent it from accidentally slipping into your anus.
Tips For Using A Prostate Massager
Maintain Good Hygiene
Cleanliness is important for all forms of anal play. Proper anal sex safety is vital because it reduces sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Ensure to use the bathroom and clean yourself properly with warm water before getting a prostate massage. Also, ensure your prostate massager is clean before and after using it.
Enlist A Partner
It may be easier to have the help of your partner as you get your bearings if you have never tried exploring your prostate before. Bringing in a prostate massager into your sex life can be an interesting way to tighten the bond between you and your partner. The feeling of being touched from inside by someone you are attracted to is ecstatic.
Comfort
The muscles in and around your anus need some time to relax. Ilie & Thompson (2011) suggested that you could light up some candles, put on slow, sexy music, and ease into the experience. Ensure you take your time during foreplay if you indulge in prostate massage with a partner. Get a position giving you easy access to prostate stimulation once you are turned on. With your partner behind you, you can lie on your back with your knees up or face down on your stomach.
Use A Lubricant
A generous amount of lubricant is essential with any form of anal penetration. Ensure you find out the lubricant that works best for you, and use it during a prostate massage. Keep applying lube as often as possible because, without proper lubrication, you run the risk of tearing sensitive tissue in your rectum.
Start With A Finger
try working your way up to it by fingering it Before using a prostate massager. It helps train your pelvic muscles before getting in the real game. First-timers should uphold this procedure. Trim your fingernails or wear a glove for comfort before inserting your fingers to prevent germs from entering your body and cutting your anus. Apply plenty of lubes and slide an inch of your finger into the anus and hold it there for a while to allow your muscles to get used to the sensation. While comfortable, slide your finger deeper until you feel a rough bump about two or three inches inside your rectum. Rub your finger gently against the upper side of your rectum towards the base of your penis. Communicate well and carefully listen to what feels good and what does not if you are on the giving end( dominant partner). Remove your finger slowly if you feel discomfort or pain.
Have A Discussion With Your Doctor About Prostate
Consult a doctor first if you consider using a prostate massager as therapy for a prostate condition. According to Qaseem et al. (2013), a doctor can perform a prostate exam to help identify prostate cancer or chronic prostatitis, an inflammation of the prostate gland. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs address prostatitis, though your doctor may suggest prostate massage therapy as a treatment. Consult a doctor immediately if you feel pain during ejaculation or any difficulty with your urine flow.
Positions To Try While Using A Prostate Massager
Doggy Style
Bending over on hands and knees is one of the easiest and most comfortable positions for prostate massage. Get into position by kneeling on all four and have your ass face your partner to make it easier for them to slide in the prostate massager.
Over The Lap
You can lie across your partner’s lap with your ass over their thighs with your stomach facing down if you love the idea of being dominated. The overlap position allows your partner to easily penetrate you using a prostate massager.
Standing Up
The person being massaged should be standing, and the one massaging should be seated or on their knees in front of the other. It allows easy access and direct stimulation.
Simple Bridge
According to Roseberry (2002), You could try massaging with the receiver on their back, with their feet flat and knees facing up. This position works perfectly if you want to add breathplay to the external genitals for a more layered pleasure.
Conclusion
Whether you want to incorporate a prostate massager as part of a solo or partnered play, the most important thing is to take things slowly, make sure you have gloves on, and use a lubricant to minimize infection and tearing risks. There’s a whole new world awaiting you on the other side of your anus.
