I have a bit of swelling due to prostatitis... Now, if you are suffering from painful swelling due to prostatitis, the benefits Prostate Milking have over ejaculation are very big! As you already know: swelling hurts! It can hurt a lot!! Ejuculation can make it hurt more! Ejaculation is caused by muscular contraction. These muscles basically get a "workout" every time you ejaculate. Shortly afterward this "workout" these muscles swell. This extra swelling can increase your pain. Prostate Milking, on the other hand, empties the seminal fluid without exercising the muscles. That emptying relieves the "need to ejaculate" and does not cause the muscular swelling. It also, for some reason, keeps your gland (or brian) from thinking it needs to work hard to recharge again. So it does not overwork or swell either. It is the internal pressure from the fluid inside your gland that makes you "horny". Your body is basically saying it is full and it is time to have sex. When you release the fluid inside, that need is fulfilled and your system relaxes. The "need to ejaculate" or horniness, goes away. Cutting out all sex is not normal, natural or healthy. Sex is very good for you. But, too much sex will cause you pain!!! Give it a go, its good for you
