I am no longer embarrassed to confess that I used to suffer from chronic prostatitis. Not only did I feel the urge to urinate all the time, but I was in pain both physically and emotionally. Although I wanted to please my wife, for the first time in our marriage she was the one who felt more sexually frustrated – but it wasn’t because I was unwilling; just unable! When the doctors finally figured out what was wrong with me, I was elated because I just wanted to fix whatever was wrong with me. It turned out, though, that their procedures were ineffective and painful. However, when I learned about prostate massage, all that turned around.

My wife actually learned about it first, and I have to admit that I was pretty weary about anything that involved putting things in my rectum. But we have a great bond of trust, and after researching techniques together, we tried the prostate massage with her finger. It was difficult for her to get into the right position and to know how much pressure to apply, so we started using this discreet device called the Dr.Erector. Low and behold, the prostatitis effects disappeared – and our sex life got even better than before the prostatitis showed up!

[Comment by Tray McCormic: The reason is that the prostate is located near the root base of the penis, which is located inside the body. When this area is stimulated, it allows for an orgasm that extends all the way into the body. More ejaculatory fluids are released, and a stronger erection also results.]

Now that my prostatitis is gone, we continue to use the prostate massager as a kinky little toy for when I want a home run orgasm.

Q: Dr. McCormick, I’ve been suffering from chronic prostatitis. I’m taking medication, and I’m wondering if there are any contraindications when using a prostate massager while taking medication. I heard that prostate stimulation may help a lot, but I am in doubt.

A: There are no contraindications to prostatitis medications, and in fact, it can help you in ways that medicine oftentimes cannot, by improving both bladder and sexual functioning. For all users of prostate massagers, I recommend using good hygiene both before and after use. Always wash your hands for at least thirty seconds with soap and warm water. Also make sure that you clean the device thoroughly after use. These practices will help to avoid any types of disruptions to your normal life, whether you are on medication or not; in fact, using a prostate stimulator may very well enhance your life.

It’s easy to understand why many men are scared off by the idea of a prostate massage – they aren’t used to inserting anything into their rectum. However, the benefits of using a prostate massager far outweigh the initial timidity of using such a device. Perhaps the biggest benefit comes to men who have chronic prostatitis, and are laden with a wide range of side effects, including frequent urination, pain, and sexual dysfunction. Using a prostate massager can cause these effects of prostatitis to subside within as few as one to three uses, allowing the patient to feel better physically and emotionally.

Our favorite prostate stimulator pick is the Dr.Erector, which can be used both for prostatitis patients, as well as for those who want to expand their sexual repertoire. The device can be used either by the patient himself, or with a partner, to stimulate the prostate and the penis simultaneously, resulting in a stronger erection and orgasm.
