What exactly IS the prostate and what does it do?

Posted by sanDGuy @sandguy, Nov 19 3:00pm

According to the very first sentence in Wikipedia, it is:

"...a muscle-driven mechanical switch between urination and ejaculation. "

Pithy!
Haven't seen it described quite like this elsewhere.

The prostate mixes up the juice for the j__z (so to speak). 😉

That's one reason we tend to have dry orgasms after surgery or radiation.

well ...a poorly designed contraption which obviously needs a recall and redesign..I think it should be accesible thru a zipper or with small hex screws, replaceable with a plug in, plug out feature so it can easily be replaced, oh, and some sort of error light so you have some notice when they go bad...and why not just attach it to back of scrotum..(same with pancreas, make it accessible!) ...

@northoftheborder: "That's one reason we tend to have dry orgasms after surgery or radiation."

Another reason is that the seminal vesicles are often removed or destroyed during surgery or radiation.
