You Might

Morning

"My boyfriend said before we moved in together he needed to tell me that he masturbates every morning either before he gets out of bed or in the shower and he wouldn't change that He says it's good for his health I think he's bsing me"

No, he is not bullshitting you. It is a fact that frequent ejaculations help men to maintain a healthy prostate and lower the risk of prostatitis and/or prostate cancer. It also lowers blood pressure, reduces stress, and increases the heart rate so it's like doing a bit of cardio every morning.  Bravo to him for jacking off daily. Bravo to him for telling you. He won't have to hide it like so many men do.

Allow me to add: every once in a while, you might offer to lend a hand.

Try to have a great weekend!

Your Takeaway

 

Yesterday's follow-up brought about more information that may be useful.

Anonymous said: Strangely enough I had the same problem when I hit 50. Naturally I booked an appointment with a urologist and had a work up done because pink semen wasn’t a good sign for any guy over 50. It turns out that my antidepressant ( Prozac) was the problem because I wasn’t having sex/masturbating for months at a time. And when I tried to climax, the Prozac blocked that too. The urologist told me that the left over semen had crystallized and the new semen was causing slight damage that wasn’t a real problem if I started masterbating several times and day to clear up the pink stuff. He then said that I needed to masterbate at least twice a week to avoid something like that happening again.

According to "Managing Antidepressant Sexual Side Effects" over at Healthline, SSRIs, such as Prozac, can drastically diminish libido, causes difficulty in getting hard, and can be the culprit of either delayed ejaculation or completely blocking the ability.  Typically, any sperm or semen not released during ejaculation is absorbed by the body.

Finding that your cum is a bit "lumpy" is not unusual. That can be caused by a lack of ejaculation and / or dehydration. But, according to this article by National Institutes of Health (NIH)  crystals in the cum can also stem from ureic acid mixing with prostate fluid. This is generally caused by prostatitis (prostate infection). And that can be caused by or attributed to a lack of ejaculation.

Your takeaway should be: Stay hydrated.

And follow the doctor's instructions.

Positive Effects

 

In yesterday's comments, Faithful Reader Erick requested a post about the benefits of frequent ejaculation.

"Can you do another post to reiterate the positive effects of ejaculation and prostate health. I told someone recently that it's beneficial to the prostate glans to cum on a regular basis. I told them to look at your blog. :)"

Thanks, Erick. I appreciate the referral. I hope your friend does log on and read.

The most common prostate issues are Prostatitis (inflammation or infection), Enlarged Prostate, and Prostate Cancer.

As we age, the Prostate continues to grow and that's simply a force of nature we guys cannot avoid.

The adage about Prostate cancer is that, if we live long enough, we will end up with it.

According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) Prostatitis can be a painful inflammation of the gland itself or the tissues surrounding it, commonly caused by bacteria in the urinary tract.

Ejaculation helps with reducing the risk of prostate cancer.

According to WebMD, 

"Frequent ejaculation may help prevent the development of mini-crystals that can block ducts within the prostate gland, reducing cancer risk." [bold is theirs]

It has also been theorized that Prostate fluid is toxic to men and, over time, can be a cause for developing Prostate Cancer. And a 2016 Harvard study  found that frequent ejaculation can help reduce the risk.

"The 2016 study found that ejaculating more than 20 times per month reduced prostate cancer risk by about 20% compared to ejaculating only four to seven times ..." [bold is theirs]

If you're into paleo (natural) medicine, BensNaturalHealth also says that frequent ejaculation can reduce inflammation and infection:

"Does ejaculation help prostate inflammation? Two studies show that patients who ejaculate often have a reduced risk of prostatitis." [bold is theirs]

I can also attest to that on a personal level. In my early 30s, I couldn't cum to save my life. My wife made an appointment with a urologist. He asked me if I could cum by jacking off (nope), then did the Digital Rectal Exam (DRE), first with one finger, then two, then three. Which, of course, caused me to get a hard-on. He massaged the prostate, then stood me up, spun me around, and used a milking stroke on me. I came all over the place.

In the end, the diagnosis was severe prostate infection. He sent me home with a prescription and orders to "cum at least twice a week in addition to any partner intercourse to avoid further infection."

Why? Because it helps clear the pipes. I took his advice and haven't had a prostate infection since.

Anejaculation

 

"I been having troubel for quite a while now that I can't cum. We tried everything hand jobs blow jobs titty fucking regular fucking and its all a no go. I tried the ass cheek squeeze like you said to make me cum and that didn't work.I can't even cum when I try to jack off. This is getting I can't stand it anymore and my nuts are killing me. What the hell is going on?"

What you are are experiencing is typically labeled Delayed Ejaculation (DE) if it takes longer than you or your partner want it to. If you can't cum at all, it's called Anejaculation. But, hold on....because it sounds like this is something new, or fairly recent.

Cleveland Clinic says:

"Delayed ejaculation or not ejaculating at all is a condition that is still being studied. There aren’t a lot of absolute guidelines about how much time is too much time to ejaculate, how delayed ejaculation should be treated or what causes it. But it’s a problem when it’s a problem for you and for your partner. Many people might think not ejaculating for a relatively long period of time in a sexual situation would be a good thing. However, in many cases, longer sexual activity isn’t resulting in more pleasure. It’s actually causing stress and even physical problems for all partners involved. It’s important to have honest conversations with your healthcare provider and your partner about all of your concerns."

One cause they list is a "blockage." And that is what happened to me in my early 30s. Like you, we tried everything and my balls ached something awful. My wife actually made the appointment with a urologist and sent me packing.

He asked a few questions, then did a full exam.

My prostate was swollen and he massaged it. After a few minutes my cock got extremely hard. He stood me up, spun me around, and used milking strokes until I came all over the place.

"Severe prostate infection caused a blockage." He sent me off with a prescription for antibiotics and instructions to supplement sex by jacking off at least twice a week.
