Prostate
Updated:The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis in people assigned male at birth. It surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine and semen pass out of the body. The prostate's main function is to produce fluid that nourishes and protects sperm, making up a significant portion of semen volume.
Additional Information
The prostate is also a highly sensitive erogenous zone, sometimes referred to as the "male G-spot". Stimulation of the prostate, either through anal penetration or external massage of the perineum, can lead to intense sexual pleasure and orgasms. Some people can achieve orgasm solely through prostate stimulation.
The prostate tends to grow larger with age, which can sometimes lead to health issues such as difficulty urinating. Regular prostate exams are recommended for people over 50 to screen for potential problems.
Examples
During intercourse, certain positions like doggy style may provide more stimulation to the prostate.
Sex toys designed for prostate massage, such as anal vibrators or prostate massagers, can be used to intentionally target this sensitive area for enhanced pleasure.
