Okay so I've read that longterm chastity should not cause health problems when the prostate gets milked regularly. This isn't really an issue here. But since I also read that some people grant their subs a release through milking once a month, I started wondering. Is there a particular reason for this? Shouldn't you stimulate the prostate too often for health reasons? What about gay men who have anal sex multiple times a week? I usually milk myself once or twice a week because feels great and it really helps with being locked up. I'd love to do it more often, preferably with a partner/master, since I am really interested in longterm/permanent penile chastity. But I don't want to cause any damage to my prostate in the long run. Does anyone have some real data about this?
I'm no expert but I dont think you will harm your prostate by stimulating it multiple times a week. The prostate is protected by the rectum lining. As long as you are not ramming things into it or pushing on it too harshly i'm sure you'll be fine. Also I think you will be hard pressed to find any prostate related data. Most doctors dont even know much about prostate stimulation. Over on the aneros forum many guys on there have brought this up to their doctors only to find out they have no clue.
As is in many medical matters there are differences of opinion as regards to prostrate milking. Most feel that as long as the prostrate is healthy and care is taken with sterilising then no harm will be done.
But, on the flip side, is there really any harm with long term total denial? What about all those who are celibate, etc...
Thanks for your replies. I am actually shocked that there seems to be such little knowledge about this in the 21st century. I did some extensive Google research and I've found the following "facts" (quotation marks, because I couldn't find any scientific sources, which means it could all be made up): "No ejaculation" is actually linked to Prostate cancer (priests seem to get it a lot) (Source) Release through Prostate massage is actually healthier than discharge through regular sex or masturbation, because it releases more toxins (wtf?) and it increases the blood flow (Source) To properly milk the Prostate, the device/finger/penis should not thrust, not push and don't be fast. So um, anal intercourse/masturbation is a bad thing? No explanation was delievered. This worries me, because these are things that I actually do and it always feels amazing... (Source / Source)
I think it's important not to get too caught up in these things. Sure, a steady gentle massage can result in a nice steady flow of gunk with no true sense of ejaculatory satisfaction, but a full on rodgering that results in a good hard flood is incredibly pleasurable and presumably ticks the health boxes. As long as there is some release, and fun was had, then who is to argue? Next time I see one of those NHS mens health lorry clinics set up somewhere I'll pop in and ask. I'm sure the staff can always do with a giggle.
Personally I wouldn't pay too much attention to .com sites which are probably trying to sell you something. I quote below a few medical studies below which appear relevant. Br J Cancer. 1981 Feb; 43(2): 233–235 A cohort study of mortality from cancer of the prostate in Catholic priests. R. K. Ross, D. M. Deapen, J. T. Casagrande, A. Paganini-Hill, and B. E. Henderson "we observed a modest excess of prostate cancer deaths in priests over corresponding mortality results in U.S. white males, though this result was not statistically significant." J Surg Oncol. 1981;17(2):129-33. Prostate cancer mortality among Catholic priests. Michalek AM, Mettlin C, Priore RL. "To investigate the possible role of celibate lifestyles in the etiology of prostate cancer, analyses of mortality from cancers of the prostate and other sites among an average annual cohort of 6,226 Roman Catholic clergymen in New York State from 1965 through 1977 were conducted. ….. Twelve deaths from prostatic cancer were observed while 19.8 were expected." J AmericanMedical Assoc, April 7, 2004—Vol 291, No. 13 Ejaculation Frequency and Subsequent Risk of Prostate Cancer Michael F. Leitzmann et al "Ejaculation frequency was examined in relation to risk of total prostate cancer. ... most categories of ejaculation frequency were unrelated to risk of total prostate cancer. However, a lower risk was observed in the highest category of ejaculation frequency." A generally interesting article: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1232741/pdf/cmaj_159_7_807.pdf
Thank you so much for your answers. Especially the PDF article was very useful and interesting. So, did I get this right? Is the bottom line that I shouldn't worry too much about it, when it comes to my sexual activities*? (* as long as I'm being careful not to treat my prostate too roughly, which of course I am)
I'm not a specialist in this, but various sources I read made me believe that you can't overmilk your prostate. What is meant by milking "once a month" is "at least once a month". In fact this blog: http://lazydomme.blogspot.ru/2011/09/prostate-milking.html mentions an advice from a doctor to milk chaste men weekly, although I believe that it's not really that much crucial and both options are safe. In order for milking to work you need to build up some semen first. If it doesn't go out, it simply meant you don't need milking yet. But even if it doesn't go out, that's not a reason to not do it. Attempts of milking are not harmful, so do it as much as you like if it feels good. I also don't think there is any difference between careful milking and rough milking, except for intensity of pleasure. So I also think you shouldn't worry too much, even though I am lacking fristhand experience.
