What exactly IS the prostate and what does it do?
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!) ...

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

3 ReactionsThe prostate gland, produces a milky like substance to transfer the sperms into the female to fertiliser the egg
Okay, so I'm reviving this old thread that I STARTED so it's MINE and I'm completely ENTITLED!
Here's the thing, going down just a bit of a Wikipedia rabbit hole (damn them!), I discovered that women have a physiological analogue to our very own, blessed prostate gland, benighted the "Skene's glands"! Apparently they even produce PSA!
They have two ducts inside the labia, and are implicated, most likely, in the phenomenon of female ejaculation!
Fascinating, no?
And here I thought I already knew everything about female sexuality.
(...I KEED, I KEED!)
(but not about the Skeen's glands)
