    HAS THE MYSTERY OF THE PROSTATE ORGASM BEEN SOLVED?
    BY JANISSA DELZO ON 12/24/17 AT 11:42 AM Newsweek

    Updated | An elderly man encountered so much stimulation from a pricey
    sex toy, it led him to have nonstop prostate orgasms. According to a
    recent review paper, the unnamed man induced the orgasm by using a butt plug—a toy specifically designed to be inserted in the rectum.

    Although the 63-year-old man is featured in the published paper, his
    experience is just one piece of the story. Rather, the author of the
    literature explores what is known in the scientific world about prostate orgasms, concluding that there’s a lot more to be discovered.

    “The scientific study of orgasm has always been challenging,” study
    author Roy Jerome Levin, a researcher at the University of Sheffield, in
    the U.K., wrote in his paper published in the journal Clinical Anatomy. “Those induced by prostate stimulation have been ignored. We have just started the journey on its discovery road.”

    There’s very limited research to work with, Levin notes, Men’s Health reports. So, he relies on personal accounts such as the previously
    mentioned man’s to further understand the mysterious topic.

    The man with extreme orgasms was previously healthy, according to
    Gizmodo. He reportedly purchased the butt plug in order to help ease an infection. However, he quickly realized that he was able to achieve
    intense sexual pleasure with the toy. Fortunately, the infection went
    away, but his orgasms—which were felt throughout various areas of his
    body, including his penis—persisted. Eventually, he became so aroused
    that he didn’t even need to use the toy anymore to achieve an orgasm.
    Simply lying down was enough to get him going, which is when the trouble
    began, Gizmodo reports.

    “This subject found that whilst the orgasms were extremely enjoyable at
    the time, he could easily spend too much time experiencing them.
    Further, he had an old neck injury which flared up in association with
    some neck spasm at orgasm whilst lying prone. It has proved difficult to
    stop experiencing these orgasms and ‘unwire’ himself back to normal,” Levin wrote in his published paper.

    The prostate is a gland located between the bladder and the penis. Part
    of the reproductive system, the prostate secretes prostate fluid, an
    essential component of semen, and contains enzymes, zinc and citric
    acid. When it comes to orgasms, the prostate has been most commonly of
    interest for its role in sexual dysfunction; often, men who are treated
    for prostate cancer may face such difficulties.

    Although the man eventually stopped having the random orgasms, it still
    remains a mystery how they started in the first place. Unfortunately,
    due to the lack of scientific data, it’s difficult to pinpoint what
    occurred and how his brain may have been “rewired.” Levin hopes more researchers will dedicate their time to understanding the prostate orgasm.

    “Why, for an obvious example, have we still not had any brain imaging of prostate-stimulated orgasms so that we can compare them with penile
    orgasms?” he wrote. “Who will lead the challenge?”

    the prostate.
