Step aside, turkeys! The month of November is devoted to much more than Thanksgiving thanks to the founders of Movember (moustache + November), an organization dedicated to spreading awareness about male mental health, suicide and testicular and prostate cancers. How? By growing a sick moustache and telling people why you're growing a moustache when they ask about your moustache. And doing some fundraising.
So, why are we bringing up Movember? Because today we're going to give you tips (and a little bit extra) on prostate health to keep your prostate happy and healthy.
How to Promote Prostate Health
The prostate is one of those invisible but extremely important organs that can be easy to forget about: it's responsible for creating and controlling prostate fluid, which makes up about one third of semen and protects your mini-me's once they exit your body. Plus, the walnut-sized organ is a big part of what makes orgasms feel oh-so-good.
Even if you don't have a history of prostate cancer in your family, it's important to keep tabs on your prostate health because, as you age, that little organ begins to grow and can lead to some annoying complications. An enlarged prostate will have you making more trips to the bathroom, for one thing, but it can also become inflamed; this condition is called prostatitis and it makes you feel like you're peeing fire. Yowza.
So, what can you do to keep that little organ healthy?
Eat a Good Diet
Lame, we know. But getting those green, leafy vegetables into your diet will increase your vitamin and antioxidant levels to help fortify your prostate health. Fruits, green tea and fish are great, too! If and when you eat red meat, avoid charring it — the chemical compound PhIP, found in charred meats, is thought to coincide with an increased risk of cancer.
Get Screened
According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the most common form of male cancer, after skin cancer. That's why it's so crucial to get screened at least once a year, especially if you're in your mid-40s or older. African Americans also tend to be at higher risk of prostate cancer, along with people of Scandinavian descent, so if you match these descriptions, you might want to get checked even sooner than that.
Get Some Sunshine
Vitamin D is great for your health, so be sure to catch some rays on the regular. Be mindful to wear sunscreen if you'll be outside for long periods of time, though — remember that skin cancer is the next most common form of cancer in men. On top of improved prostate health, Vitamin D can also keep your heart, kidneys and pancreas healthy.
Masturbate
Screw "No Nut" November — jack off to your heart's (and prostate's) content! Way back in (a very prudish) history, it was thought that frequent masturbation would increase men's risk of prostate cancer. As it turns out, and as you probably know, the exact opposite is true. One study reported that men who ejaculated 21 or more times per month had a 32% lower risk of prostate cancer later in life — and the percentage only climbs with the number of wanks. Get on it, fellas.
Get a Prostate Massage
We've talked a little bit about prostate massage before, but did you know that prostate massage therapy is a thing? Like, a real, medical thing? Just like any other form of massage, you can get a prostate massage for medical or therapeutic reasons since it can alleviate the symptoms of erectile dysfunction and that nasty prostatitis (especially if your case is chronic). Prostate massage can also clear your prostatic duct of excess fluids, improve urine flow and assuage other issues caused by an enlarged prostate. How? By causing prostate ejaculation, also known as milking!
You don't have to see a doctor for a great prostate massage, though. For the sake of prostate health, let's talk about some of the best prostate massagers and other sex toys for men available here at PinkCherry.
Toys for Milking Prostate: Good for Health, Great for Sex
Some vibrate, some thrust, some are made of silicone and some are made of glass, but all prostate massagers have one thing in common: they're great for delivering the best prostate ejaculation of you or your partner's life. And we know that milking the prostate is good for your health, so milk these toys for all they're worth. It's for a good cause!
Masster's Degree Anal Education Set
If you or your partner are just getting started with prostate massage, the key is to start slow — and that's exactly what the Masster's Degree Anal Education Set is all about! This trio of silky silicone plugs is ideal for introducing yourself or a partner to the sensation of anal penetration and prostate massage. Each size has a rounded top that's perfect for gently teasing and stimulating the prostate. These plugs are hypoallergenic and responsive to temperature, gradually warming the longer they remain in the body. They're also easy to wash with mild soap and water — you can even run them through the dishwasher (top rack, no soap) if you want to be extra sure they're sterilized!
Get all the essentials for anal play — and prostate ejaculation — in one place with the Anal Training & Education Set In Blue . This totally stocked kit includes a petite silicone plug, a vibrating plug and flexible silicone beads. All of the pieces in this kit are body safe and hygienic, and can be cleaned with your favorite toy care product or good ol' soap and water. Remember to only use these silicone toys with water-based lube — silicone lube will break them down!
8" Gläs 8 Inch Slimline G-Spot Glass Dildo
Who says sex toys have to be designed with one purpose in mind? Someone who's never encountered the Curved G-Spot Glass Dildo, we're guessing. This gorgeous double-sided glass probe is great for both anal and vaginal stimulation: one side has a sleekly tapered end for hitting the g-spot just right, while the other has smooth, swelling bulbs to deliver the ultimate prostate ejaculation. Being glass, it's also highly sensitive to temperature, so try soaking it in warm or cool water prior to enjoyment! Please play carefully with this dildo, it can feel amazing, but there's no base to prevent too-deep slips. Just be mindful!
Eternal P-Spot Massager
Want something more intense? The Anal-Ese Vibrating P-Spot Arouser is just what you're looking for. The Eternal is basically a wonder tool, with a strategically angled shaft swollen in all the right places, and a unique rocking motion base designed to pleasure the prostate in an irresistible "back-and-forth" way. The Eternal comes with a removable bullet vibe with up to ten, deep vabrating modes to stimulate the toy along the shaft. The hygienic and hypoallergenic silicone can be washed with toy care fluid or foam and stored away from other silicone toys to be ready for next time. Remember to charge it with the included USB cord!
Vick Neo Vector Vibrating Prostate Massager
We-Vibe is known for their mastery of couples sex toys, and now they've conquered the prostate with their Vick Neo Prostate And Perineum Massager. This vibrating toy can be used to target the female g-spot as well, but prostate ejaculation is the end-goal that this sleek and powerful vibrator is designed for. The flexible shaft and outer tickler target the prostate and perineum with vibration patterns set by your partner using the We-Connect app on their smartphone. They can even create custom patterns to take you to new planes of pleasure! This waterproof vibrating massager is rechargeable via USB and can be used with water-based lubes.
