While ED can stem from numerous physical or psychological issues,
reduced blood flow to the penis is a significant factor for many men.
Massage treatments specifically designed for ED focus on stimulating
blood flow to the genital area, potentially aiding in achieving and
maintaining an erection. These therapies, including techniques like
tantric massage, not only enhance blood circulation but can also help
address mental health concerns that may impact sexual performance.
It's intriguing to think that a solution as simple as massage could be
beneficial, especially considering that many men with ED resort to medication, penis pumps, penile implants, and other
treatments. Surprisingly, about 70% of men with ED experience symptoms
primarily due to restricted blood flow, making massage therapy a viable
option for many.
In this article, we will talk about the following:
Erectile Dysfunction: What Is It?
Erectile dysfunction, or impotence, is when a man has difficulty getting and maintaining an
erection strong enough for sexual intercourse. While many men do not
like to talk about their experiences with ED, it may be comforting to
know that it is widespread. In Canada, approximately 49.4% of men over 40 are affected by ED.

Can Massage Therapy Help With Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?
Some forms of ED massage have been used since the 1800s to treat erectile dysfunction and prostate issues.
Massage therapy techniques relax the penile region, stimulate the
penis, and boost blood circulation.
But it's more than that. Massage therapy is about getting comfortable
with your body, pushing past mental and emotional barriers, and learning to appreciate your penis in both flaccid and hard
states.
There have been a few studies on ED massage with promising results, but
it is still considered very much an alternative form of treatment for
ED.
Benefits of ED Massage
Everyone experiences the benefits of erectile dysfunction massage
differently. Massage can help you attain an erection in the moment
and/or stimulate the area for long-term results. Some men can experience
long-lasting benefits after a few sessions; for others, ED massage may
become an ongoing lifestyle change.
Even though ED massage affects men differently, it is certainly worth
trying! Here are some of the benefits anyone can enjoy from ED
massage.
Whole Body Health and Wellbeing
In general, the benefits of massage include reduced stress, improved circulation, and lowered heart
rate and blood pressure. Massage of the penis is no different. Penis
massage is integral to holistic healing and spiritual, sexual, and
all-around physical well-being.
Increase Libido
Spending quality time with yourself can reignite feelings of arousal
and boost your sex drive. When you block out time to relax and enjoy a
penis massage, you are participating in the act of self-care. Making
time for yourself may help you overcome stress, mental and emotional
exhaustion, confidence issues, and other causes of erectile
dysfunction.
Boost Blood Circulation
Regular penis massage helps open the blood vessels and boost
circulation to the area by promoting vibratory stimulation. This helps make the penis more sensitive to touch and may help
produce stronger erections.
Types of Erectile Dysfunction Massages
There are various massage therapies and techniques proven to combat
erectile dysfunction. Some men find certain treatments to work better
for them, while others like to incorporate a variety of therapies into
their routines.
Tantric Massage Therapy
Tantric massage is a holistic technique that treats the underlying
causes of ED and its symptoms. With this type of therapy, you work with
a coach over the course of several sessions to get to the bottom of the
physical and psychological reasons you may be struggling to get an
erection. Your coach will teach you self-guided techniques so you can
perform tantric massage at home.
Ballooning Massage Technique
Ballooning Massage is a form of ED massage you can practice yourself.
Using a lubricant of your choice, start stroking your penis, scrotum,
and pubis to increase blood flow to the area.
As you become hard, hold the base of your penis firmly as if you were
holding the bottom of a balloon. Use your other hand to press on the tip
of your penis. This method may help you not only achieve an erection but
make it last longer.
Milking Massage Technique
Milking massage helps stimulate the corpora cavernosa, or the part of
the penis that fills with blood when you become aroused.
To practice milking massage, stroke your penis using a similar motion
one would use to milk a cow. Using lube, firmly but gently grasp the
base and stroke upwards toward the head—alternate using your left and
right hands.
Try practicing this technique 3-4 times per week until you can easily
achieve an erection.
Prostatic Massage
Whenever possible, a doctor or professional prostatic massage therapist should be the one to
perform a prostatic massage.
This type of massage has long been considered an alternative treatment
for ED because it can help clear the prostatic duct, eliminate
infections, clear blocked fluids, and stimulate blood flow.
To perform this type of massage, your doctor or massage therapist will
insert a gloved, well-lubed finger or massage device into your rectum
and massage the prostate until you ejaculate a thin, milky substance
called prostate fluid.
How To Find a Qualified ED Massage Therapist
For best results, working with a highly trained professional
specializing in ED massage techniques is essential.
If you currently work with a family general practitioner, urologist, or
sexual health physician, express to them your interest in trying ED
massage. They may be able to refer you to an ED massage therapist in
your area.
If you are already working with a physician specializing in ED, they
may even have someone on staff or within their referral network they can
recommend. Some ED doctors are trained to perform ED
massage.
Final Words: Tips for Successful ED Massage Sessions
Studies show that regular, safe, and correctly performed ED massage may
improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction.
Here are some lifestyle changes you can make to boost the results of
your ED massage sessions.
-
Eat a healthy, balanced diet
-
Exercise regularly
-
Avoid smoking and tobacco products
-
Drink in moderation
-
Reduce stress
-
See a mental health professional
Living a healthy lifestyle can greatly increase your chances of beating
ED. Some men incorporate massage with ED drug treatment.
FAQs: Erectile Dysfunction Massage
If you're ready to get your massage but still have questions, here are
some Frequently Asked Questions we get at UPGUYS. We hope these help
clear up any lingering doubts you may have about ED massage.
1- Is There Conclusive Evidence That ED Massage Works?
Massage to treat erectile dysfunction is still considered
an alternative treatment to ED. Most studies on ED massage
have been small or limited in scope.
However, studies such as one testing massage therapy in men with enlarged
prostates have found ED to have positive
results.
2- Can I Perform ED Massage at Home?
While you may achieve better results with a physician or trained
professional, that may not be an option for all men. You can
perform ED massage at home using instructional videos online. We
caution you to do plenty of research and use a safe, effective
lubricant or penis oil to perform self-massage.
3- How Long Does It Take To See Results from ED Massage?
One study showed that participants underwent ED massage 3-4
times per week for four weeks with positive results. Of
course, some men may require treatment for longer or shorter
periods to see the lasting effects of ED
massage.
4- Can ED Massage Help With the Psychological Causes of ED?
Nearly one-third of men experiencing ED have symptoms due
to psychological problems, including stress, depression,
performance anxiety, grief, past trauma, substance abuse,
and addiction to adult content.
If you are dealing with any of these psychological causes
of ED, work with a trained mental health counsellor in
conjunction with ED massage treatment. Some ED massage
therapists specialize in relaxation techniques and working
through difficult emotions.
