That last comment about addiction seems misguided, and the website it links to does not strike me as the most scientifically trustworthy; anyone have any suggestions for replacement?. Most men do like prostate massage , but they don't declare openly that they do so.
I have removed this text from the article:

Why is this article categorised under BDSM since it is kind of misleading to suggest that prostatic massage is a BDSM activity when in fact only prostate milking is? Beno1000 00:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Part of the mechanism for orgasm for a male involves the accumulation of seminal fluids within the prostate and associated ducts; accordingly, once the prostate is mostly emptied of fluids, a male will be incapable of achieving erection for a period of 24-96 hours, and typically unable to achieve orgasm for some additional time after that.
I admit I don't have personal experience, but I find this highly unlikely. You can have your prostate removed and still have erections and orgasms.
I see communities of men in pursuit of the prostate orgasm. To me, a "prostate orgasm" sounds like a fetishist's belief. There are no credible sources to support this claim. Self reports and a few videos on porn sites that can easily be faked exist. If I am wrong, can anyone provide medical evodence? I would also like to know how on earth the prostate can be related to involuntary muscle spasms. Thanks in advance.
Hi Ratel, you removed two citations in the article with the following comments: "prostate massage is not commonly used in the treatment of prostatitis." and Prostatitis Treatments at MayoClinic.com, which I reviewed, and although I am not an M.D., but this seems like a perfectly good citation to me. Besides, it seems to tupport your preferred perspective that prostate massage in not appropriate, so I am not sure why you want to remove it.
Your comment on removal was: "(→Medical prostate massage: a fogotten paragraph at mayo clinic site (that should not be there) does not override research" But you did not provide any research that indicated that the citation was incorrect, only your opinion. A cite like this (Mayo clinic) would carry more weight than the opinion of an editor. You may be an M.D. and board certified in that area, so I don't mean to be insulting. We just need more than the kind of rationale you have given in order to remove citeable references.
You also removed a good citation: "Researchers have suggestsed that prostate massage can benefit individuals with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Kassolik, K., Andrzejewski, W., Brzozowski, M., Trzesicka, E., Apoznanski, W., Szydelko, T., Steciwko, A., Staniszewski, A., & Bujnowska-Fedak, M. (2007). Medical massage as a physiotherapeutic method in benign prostatic hyperplasia in men. Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies,11, 121-128."
You said "This study is not published on PubMed, therefore not acceptable here". Of course, for Wikipedia, a citation need not be published on Pubmed in order to be considered reliable and verifiable. This may not be your opinion. It may not be the opinion of others, but is is a valid and citable POV for Wikipedia. You can, of course, give an alternate POV and citation to balance this statement. But, removing it because you don't agree isn't how we do things. We aren;t here to give medical opinions, of course. If there are different medical resources that indicate different treatments the best we can do is allow the ones that have appropriate citations, and not allow ones that do not have citations.
I'd like to discuss this with you further before I put them back in. Please let me know your thoughts. Atom ( talk) 22:07, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
The presence of the prostate is essential to ejaculate, but its presence is not essential for the occurrence of the orgasm: men who have undergone prostatectomy for treatment of prostate cancer are still able to orgasm. Therefore I am changing the ending clause of the first sentence in the second paragraph of the introduction to reflect that. 68.40.202.135 ( talk) 05:16, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
This article is entirely geared towards medical massage and only briefly mentions the sexual stimulation of the prostate, mainly in the context of a tool for this purpose, this article seems unbalanced in it's current form.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 11:27, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
I have marked the articles with Template:NPOV due to the highly unbalanced discussion and downgraded the article to "C-Class" within WP:SEX. -- Doug.( talk • contribs) 12:15, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
"Even a non-invasive prostate massage may carry a risk, which is increased if the massage is "vigorous".[13] Bacteria or cancer cells may be liberated and spread through the blood stream; prostatic calculi if present, may tear delicate membranes within the prostate, an internal massage may result in perforation of bowel and/or contamination; it may cause a hemorrhoid flare-up." The cited source for this is a website run by someone who is not a medical professional; is it any more authoritative than we are? The source article cites a couple of medical-journal articles. Are these available on the web? Can someone look these (or similar articles) up and use them, rather than chronicprostatitis.com, as the source, or remove this information if it is not well substantiated? Peter Chastain ( talk) 18:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
The first paragraph contains this statement at time of writing: "Normally, in mammals found to be most active during the time of ejaculation, this organ also faces many threats from disease."
What does it mean? What mammals are "found to be most active during the time of ejaculation"? Are not all ejaculators dynamically active during ejaculation activity? And where is the research showing such alleged "most active" mammals' prostrates are threatened by disease?
At first glance, this statement seems either dubious, or badly lacking in cited supporting evidence, or needs a clarifying rewriting.

Prostate massage is performed in good faith by some urologists in the US, Canada, and Europe (including Italy, France, Sweden) besides Russia and China and most other countries. From my research I don't believe that this is some kind of backward procedure only performed by foreign savages.
Since I have done extensive research into this I have added some information into the history and current urology culture on this procedure. I will update this with complete references when I have time. This information is found in mainstream urology textbooks, the opinions of prominent urologists and peer reviewed studies. I see no reason for anyone to remove what I have added. I have also added back in some information on sexual prostate massage because it is absolutely relevant and many people practice this. Everyone be on the lookout for more Ratel sockpuppets if they come along and remove what I've added.

What lead the author to write most men prefer butt plugs? I think the opposite is true in that a minority of men prefer butt plugs. Or at least try to provide what leads you to believe that this is the case even if the source is suspect or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:B:A3C0:7:A132:A846:53EF:24D0 ( talk) 01:29, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Butt plugs are not for homosexuals. Using them is not sick. Well, not anymore than any other sexual activity!

The source 10 and 11 are commercial websites trying to sell equipment and can't be considered as valid citation of the supposed "preference" or "superiority" of equipment versus finger. Besides, doctors use a finger for medical prostate massage and seem to be able to reach the prostate by this way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Camentielle ( talk • contribs) 08:02, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
<personal attack removed, including header. Stop that. Bishonen | talk 21:51, 21 February 2015 (UTC).>
I have made changes but I suggest splitting this article into prostate massage for treatment of type II and iii diseases, and sexual play. It is confusing to include both, along with electro-ejaculation. ( Personal attack removed) objection to blocked acini comes from recent published opinions of MDs, but the anatomists of the 19th and 18th centuries did find blocked acini in dead patients who happeded to suffer prostatitis when they died. Cutting the prostate open relieved their symptoms. I can provide references, but a google book search will reveal this information. Do not discount it because it is old. Anatomists contributed to most of modern medicine. Silver nitrate is an antibiotic although because it is not an organic molecule it is not described as one (antiseptic would be true).

this link, saying that the site promotes "garbage" nutraceuticals. See discussion on his Talk page. I disagree. I looked further into this and find that a
2016 review study in the official journal of the European Association of Urology concludes that while phyto-pharmaceuticals on their own, like all other forms of treatment, fail to "reveal a clear therapeutic benefit", they are more effective in multimodal treatment (combined treatments). This is like the boat that only moves when all anchors are lifted, and not before. The review study states that Therefore, clinical evidence qualifies certain phytotherapeutic agents as a treatment modality. With only very few side effects, they can be recommended as primary therapy or a combination in multimodal treatment regimens.
Moroever the fact that the site promotes these substances do not detract from the content of the linked page, which offers data beyond the encyclopedic on a topic that concerns many men. Just saying... labeling everything spam because you don't like advertisements risks throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Prostate massage's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Proposing to split the sexual section of the article into a separate page. Humansexuality ( talk) 03:59, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
However, though the experiences are different, male orgasms by penile stimulation are also centered in the prostate gland. [1]
Significantly, the cited source puts the word "although" in front of the latter statement, which appears in a footnote, not the main text: Although all forms of male orgasm are centered in the prostate gland, orgasm achieved through anal stimulation is experientially distinct from that achieved by penile stimulation
.
[1] The source is not a
WP:MEDRS, the term "centered in" is quite vague, and the focus is on how these two forms of orgasm are different, not how they are similar. Male orgasms after
radical prostatectomy are also possible.
[2]
[3] This suggests that the prostate is not central to the male orgasm. I suggest removing this sentence unless a better source can be found. --
