The orgasm from your prostate is a full body orgasm, and you feel a tingly sensation all over,\u2019 Gigi explains.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tYour penis will thank you for&#8230;\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Staying hydrated:<\/strong> Proper hydration supports blood flow and other bodily functions, including sexual performance<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Changing underwear daily:<\/strong> Wearing clean underwear helps prevent the buildup of bacteria and keeps you feeling fresh<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Getting enough sleep:<\/strong> Quality sleep is important for hormone balance, including testosterone production<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Using mild soaps:<\/strong> When cleaning the genital area, opt for mild, fragrance-free soaps to avoid skin irritation and maintain the natural PH balance <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yoxlyhealth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yoxly <\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2018To reach it, you insert a finger or toy into the rectum, hooking up towards the belly button. The prostate feels like a rough-textured gland. The receiving partner may enjoy a variety of different types of prostate stimulation \u2013 varying from circular motions, to in-and-out penetration. It\u2019s highly subjective and different people enjoy different things.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Next Gigi suggests using a masturbation sleeve and recommends the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sextoys.co.uk\/sex-toys\/p\/449069\/tenga\/tenga-flex\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tenga Flex<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It has a ribbed and grooved design to help men enjoy masturbation to the fullest extent. This toy has all the manoeuvrability of jelly toys, with much easier disinfection and better quality material. Simply apply lubricant, and slip the sleeve over your member,\u2019 says Gigi.<\/p>\n<p>If you find you\u2019re flagging a little, take yourself into a different room rather than the bedroom because different surroundings can really help your sex drive.<\/p>\n<p>Gigi explains: \u2018The bedroom might be the simplest place to get it on, but a change of scenery can really up the fire on your sexual mood. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Going outside the bedroom can give us\u00a0taste of the unknown that we crave. Humans really need novelty to keep their sexual interest high.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>This article was originally published April 13, 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tProstate Cancer: The Facts\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>The prostate is a gland. It is usually the size and shape of a walnut and grows bigger as you get older. It sits underneath the bladder and surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine (wee) out of the body. The prostate\u2019s main job is to help make semen \u2013 the fluid that carries sperm.<\/p>\n<p>Prostate cancer can develop when cells in the prostate start to grow in an uncontrolled way.<\/p>\n<p>Some prostate cancer grows too slowly to cause any problems or affect how long you live. Because of this, many men with prostate cancer will never need any treatment.<\/p>\n<p>But some prostate cancer grows quickly and is more likely to spread. This is more likely to cause problems and needs treatment to stop it spreading.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, about 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. We don\u2019t know exactly what causes prostate cancer but there are some things that may mean you are more likely to get it \u2013 these are called risk factors.<\/p>\n<p>There are three main prostate cancer risk factors, which are things you can\u2019t change.
