Many men believe that the prostate gland has little or nothing to with sexual performance or they are not sure what the role of this very important gland is. Its main role is to produce enough liquid to carry the sperm to its correct destination. A reporter recently asked men about their prostates in the street and the answers were somewhat vague if not downright inaccurate ! Many of the men questioned had a rather vague idea of where the gland actually was.

Once the gland is affected by enlargement (BPH) or infections (prostatitis) then its function will be compromised and can lead to loss of libido and/or impotence. In the case of an enlarged prostate, the increased size can interfere with erection and can lead to erectile dysfunction if not treated or looked after. Up to now, not much attention was given to masturbation and sex activity and the actual effects these can have on the overall health of the prostate. Most researchers have now found that any activity which helps to flush out the gland- that can be masturbation, sex or even massage of the gland itself- can be very healthy as it will flush out the ducts where toxins (and even carcinogens ) tend to lurk.

A year ago my husband was in great shape. He was mountain climbing, kayaking, and backpacking. Although he is only 27 years old, his health has drastically declined in the past year. We’ve been to multiple doctors and have yet to have anyone give a diagnosis or even any suggestions. I’m not sure if these things are related to one another, but does anyone have any idea?

He has always had very bad neck pain, at the base of his skull. There is a lump there that I don’t have on my own neck. He describes it as feeling very tight, almost a pulling, and a lot of headaches originate from the area. His doctor referred him to a chiropractor but after a year of seeing him it didn’t help.
