The easiest way to feel your prostate is from the back half of your perineum, near your rectum. The area mainly contains nerves and veins, not tissue. Your prostate should feel soft or rubbery. You can also feel your prostate more directly through your rectum. Your prostate is about two inches inside your rectum.

The easiest way to access the prostate is by way of an index finger carefully inserted into the rectum. The processes for accessing the prostate as part of a medical exam (which should be done by a doctor) or for sexual pleasure are the same, and the same precautions should be taken.
