If you’re on this page, you’re probably curious about buying a prostate massager. In which case, we have to ask: what took you so long?
Prostate massagers are sex toys designed to massage the prostate, a walnut-sized gland located just below the bladder. You can stimulate it by pressing against the front wall of the rectum, and potentially experience next-level, full-body orgasms. (There’s a reason the prostate is also known as the “male G-spot.”) What’s more, prostate massage can potentially strengthen your erection, improve urine flow, and help manage symptoms of an enlarged prostate, among other benefits.
“The prostate is basically a magical pleasure point for most penis owners,” says Rachel Wright, MA, LMFT. “Pressure on the prostate can help stimulate even greater penis pleasure, and some people can even orgasm from prostate pleasure alone! So, a prostate massager not only enhances pleasure, but it also enhances solo exploration of partnered exploration.”

Sales of prostate massagers have exploded over the past decade or so, with sex toy manufacturers churning out exciting new products to meet the growing demand from penis-owners, according to Mashable. Experts attribute much of this demand to straight cis men, who’ve historically been terrified of putting anything in their butts. Wright has worked with men who fall into that category. Often, their “apprehensions are rooted in the belief that specific forms of sexual play are ‘gay,'” she says. “Let me tell you right now—sexual acts do not have sexual orientations. Therefore, nothing you *do* can be gay. People are gay. Not sex acts.”
Thanks to the normalization of prostate play in pop culture (hi, Broad City pegging episode), not to mention the hard work of sex educators in spreading the prostate play gospel, more and more guys who once shied away from butt stuff are finally getting on board.
There are lots of toys that massage the prostate, ranging from small butt plugs to anal dildos to intense stainless steel toys: whatever your personal style and preference, there are plenty of options to choose from.
Before you take your new prostate massager for a spin, you’ll probably want to work your way up to it. “I encourage prostate owners to start small,” Wright says. “You don’t need to jump straight to getting a prostate massager—start with a finger! And keep in mind, this is a part of your body that could possibly bring you pleasure. It is there for YOUR enjoyment. Give yourself space to explore—and if that exploration leads to joy, then yay! And if not, then stop!” (You should also be sure to use plenty of lube, because the anus doesn’t self-lubricate.)
