Want to experience incredible orgasms while maintaining the health of your prostate? You may be surprised to find that a regular prostate massage not only feels intensely satisfying, but also comes with some significant health benefits. Not sure what a prostate massage actually involves, or whether it's something you'd be interested in trying? We've put together a complete guide to prostate massage — what it is, why it feels so good, and how it supports a healthier body.
If you're new to anal play generally, our blog Best Anal Toys for Beginners: Safe, Comfortable & Fun Options is a great starting point before diving into this one — understanding the basics makes prostate exploration much more comfortable and enjoyable.
What Is the Prostate?
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located below the bladder, in front of the rectum. It produces fluid that forms one of the main components of semen. It's also one of the most nerve-dense areas of the male body — which is precisely why stimulating it feels so extraordinary.
What Is a Prostate Massage?
A prostate massage involves the stimulation of the prostate gland — either manually using a finger inserted approximately two inches into the rectum, or via a dedicated electronic device. The massage is sometimes referred to as "milking" or "draining" the prostate, as the stimulation encourages the gland to empty its fluid.
It's worth noting that full prostatic drainage cannot be achieved through standard penile masturbation alone — the prostate requires direct stimulation to fully release its fluid, which is part of why prostate massage produces such a distinct and powerful sensation.

The Health Benefits of Prostate Massage
The health case for regular prostate massage is well documented. According to Healthline, regular prostate massage can help reduce the risk of painful ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and prostatitis. Medical News Today further reports that some studies show prostate massage reduces pain and discomfort associated with an inflamed prostate and helps prevent the buildup of prostatic fluid.
While broader research is still ongoing, some studies suggest prostate massage may also play a role in reducing the risk of prostate cancer. With benefits spanning pain reduction, improved sexual function, and potentially long-term health protection, prostate massage is one of the few genuinely pleasurable activities that is also good for you.
Is Prostate Massage Actually Pleasurable?
Absolutely — and dramatically so. The prostate is often described as the male equivalent of the G-spot. When stimulated correctly, it can produce orgasms that are significantly more intense than those achieved through penile stimulation alone — some sources suggest up to 33% more intense. Many men describe prostate orgasms as full-body experiences that feel entirely different from anything they've experienced before.
Prostate massage is something that can be enjoyed solo or with a partner — and combining it with other forms of stimulation (a handjob, oral sex, or a vibrator) takes the experience to another level entirely. Our blog Better, Stronger, Faster: The Art of the Male Orgasm covers how to combine prostate stimulation with other techniques for the most powerful orgasm possible.
The Best Toys for Prostate Massage
While a finger works perfectly well for beginners, a dedicated prostate massager makes the experience significantly easier and more pleasurable — they're shaped specifically to curve toward the prostate, delivering targeted stimulation that's difficult to replicate manually. Browse our full prostate massagers collection for options at every experience level.
A few things to look for when choosing a prostate toy:
- A curved or angled tip — essential for targeting the prostate accurately. The gland sits on the front wall of the rectum approximately two inches in, so a straight toy won't reach it effectively.
- A flared base or retrieval handle — non-negotiable for any anal toy. Never use a toy anally that doesn't have a flared base.
- Multiple vibration settings — different patterns and intensities allow you to find what your body responds to most. Start on the lowest setting and work up gradually.
- Body-safe silicone — smooth, non-porous, and easy to sterilize. The ideal material for any anal toy.
Some prostate massagers also feature an external perineum arm that stimulates the sensitive area between the scrotum and anus simultaneously — producing internal and external stimulation at the same time, which many describe as producing the most powerful orgasms they've ever experienced.
Always use a generous amount of lube with any prostate toy. For anal play specifically, a thicker water-based lube is recommended — our blog How to Choose the Right Anal Lube for Your Needs covers exactly what to look for.
