The main function of the prostate is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline (pH 7.29) fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that, along with spermatozoa, constitutes semen.
The rest of the seminal fluid is produced by the two seminal vesicles. The alkalinity of seminal fluid helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. The prostate also contains some smooth muscles that help expel semen during ejaculation.
To work properly, the prostate needs male hormones (androgens), which are responsible for male sex characteristics.
The main male hormone is [tag-tec]testosterone[tag-/tec], which is produced mainly by the testicles. Some male hormones are produced in small amounts by the adrenal glands.
During orgasm sperm are transmitted from the ductus deferens into the male urethra via the ejaculatory ducts, which lie within the prostate gland. The prostate is often referred to as the “male G-spot”. Some men are able to achieve orgasm solely through stimulation of the prostate gland, such as prostate massage or recpetive anal intercourse.
Men who report the sensation of prostate stimulation often give descriptions similar to women’s accounts of G-spot stimulation.

So here is what happens, from the age of 30 men’s testosterone production drops with 1% a year. Which means that as you get older the lower levels of testosterone becomes a problem.
You start feeling abnormally fatigued, your sex drive goes on vacation, you start losing muscle mass and increasing fat around the waist, etc. You are now experiencing andropause.
Now it becomes important to go for that prostate exam and to look at your diet, improve your lifestyle and start living healthier (preventively), don’t worry it is all positive.
With a regular prostate exam and some preventative supplements you can rest assured!
