I see a lot of Dominants who put their male submissives in chastity and then do prostate milking for health reasons.
Having been in the lifestyle for several years, and only recently seeing this trend, I decided to ask my doctor about it. I have a kink friendly physician, and I asked him about this whole concept of whether or not it's unhealthy for a man to choose lifelong abstinence. My doctor told me that various men have chosen lifelong abstinence (for a number of different reasons) and there has been no scientific evidence to suggest that abstinence has any correlation to prostate problems. He said that prostate milking is used by some urologists to help *treat* (not prevent) prostatitis (which is actually an infection that can also be treated with antibiotics). It's his belief that because prostate milking feels good (because it is in fact stimulating the anus and rectum), that the BDSM community has embraced the practice, but the foundation on why they are doing it is pretty much based on a (new) old wives' tale.
He said he would dig in when he gets the chance and let me know if he can find any medical evidence that correlates lack of orgasm with prostate problems. In the meantime, his advice was actually *against* prostate milking because it can lead to the spread of infection into other organs, and can cause internal tissue damage. I thought while he's off doing his part of the research amongst medical professionals, I'd do what part I can to find out information from this side of the fence. I tried to do a search on the internet, but I was bombarded with BDSM sites, and rarely a medical site. The few medical sites I did find, only mentioned treating prostatitis, nothing preventative.
So my questions:
Does anyone know of any reputable medical evidence (journals? studies? research?) that validates the correlation between lack of orgasm and prostate problems?
Is this more a kinky sex practice than a preventative treatment for the prostate? Have we grabbed up a myth and turned it into a form of play, justifying it by calling it a "health concern"? And if so, why do we feel the need to justify it? We don't say we spank people because it prevents muscle spasm. Could it be that male submissives aren't about to refute the practice because if they can't get off, they can at least have their ass played with?
For any of you who practice prostate milking - have you discussed the practice with your physician? And if so, what did the doctor say? Or did you just begin doing it because you heard people in the BDSM community recommend it?
I'm not making any judgment calls on it at all. Actually, the only reason I'd do prostate milking is if indeed there is a medical reason to do so. I'm simply trying to find out some facts that support whether it would even be necessary. In the meantime, I feel, for me personally, it's best to stick to my physician's advice and not practice it. (And he's a great guy, real kink friendly. I know that if he finds medical evidence to show health benefits, he'll share that with me, and if he finds risks, he'll share those. Then he'll give me his advice, knowing I'll make my own decision.)
If anyone knows of any actual medical studies, research, etc... that either supports or contradicts a correlation between lack of orgasm and prostate problems, please post the links. I'd like to print it out and bring it with me next time I talk with the doctor.
Thanks :)
