Despite the fact that it is often thought of purely in terms of pleasure, prostate miling or massage is often carried out either as a form of self-massage or by a physician for various prostate problems.

Part of the male reproductive system, one role of the prostate gland is to produce a clear fluid that accounts for in the region of 30% of male seminal fluid and, if you are suffering from chronic prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate milking can be used to reduce pressure which builds up in the prostate gland by removing excess fluid.

Although you can perform prostate massage externally by stimulating the prostate gland through the perineum this is not always successful and it is more usual for prostate milking to be carried out internally using a finger, prostate massager or a medical massager.

If you want to perform prostate milking yourself then you can proceed as follows:

1. Before starting prostate milking pay a visit to the bathroom to ensure that your bladder and bowel are empty.

2. Ensure that your fingernails are trimmed short and that your hands and the area around your bottom are thoroughly washed.

3. Put a sterile latex glove onto the hand that you want to use to carry out the massage and apply some water-based lubricant to your gloved fingers.

4. Adopt a comfortable position. The position that you choose is not crucial providing it is comfortable and allows you to gain easy access to the prostate gland with your gloved hand. Many men find that laying on their back or side is most comfortable.

5. Insert your finger gently into your bottom and then slowly move it forward until you feel the prostate gland. The prostate gland will feel like the outer surface of a small ball and is normally roughly the same size as a walnut.

6. Having found the prostate gland you should gently massage it down both sides but do not massage the top area which holds several quite sensitive nerves.

7. After several minutes of gentle prostate milking the prostate gland should be sufficiently stimulated to contract causing it to release its fluid.

Though prostate milking can be especially helpful as a type of preventative medicine and prevent the build-up of fluid in the prostate gland it is not without its risks. Because of this prostate milking ought not to be carried out if you have acute prostatitis and should never be done vigorously. If you are in any doubt about whether it is safe to perform prostate milking then you ought to consult your physician.
