While the female G-spot – a spongy area located two or three inches inside the vagina – has long been known, the male equivalent has been a bit of a mystery – until now.
But thankfully scientists have finally discovered the secret to the most “powerful” male orgasm.
An unnamed 63-year-old man accidentally discovered that stimulating his prostate helped him orgasm, and as a result has helped scientists unlock the secret to the most pleasurable climax.
The mystery man was using a sex toy to alleviate the symptoms of an inflamed prostate, when he found he could reach the big-O hands free.
His experience prompted scientists at the University of Sheffield to look into the area.
The study’s author, Dr Roy Levin, said: “The scientific study of orgasm has always been challenging.
“Those induced by prostate stimulation have been ignored. We have just started the journey on its discovery road.”
The scientist confirmed that the prostate is the male G-spot and massaging the area can somehow “rewire the brain”.
The prostate contains nearly as many nerve endings as the clitoris, so it makes sense that it is a pleasure centre.
“It really can open up a whole new avenue of pleasure for men if they are willing to try it,” said Susan Milstein, Ph.D., a sex educator and professor in the Department of Health Enhancement, Exercise Science and Physical Education at the Rockville Campus of Montgomery College in Maryland.
So where exactly is the prostate and how can you stimulate it?
The prostate is part of the male reproductive system, located about two inches inside the rectum toward the belly.
It’s often described as the shape and size of a walnut and its purpose is to help make some of the fluid in semen.
You can’t touch it directly but it is possible to stimulate it indirectly, internally via anal stimulation and externally by applying pressure on the perineum.
Not everyone will find this pleasurable though. While stimulating the area can cause the most intense orgasms, some men find it painful.
