    Yeah this sounds like trying to use a balloon to crush garlic, it’s gonna do jack all.

    On the flip side, trying to use something more solid will instead be like trying to crush garlic while it’s sitting on top of a steak, technically possible but not without pressing so hard you damage the steak in the process. And that’s assuming the steak is on a hard surface itself. If it’s on a bed or in the air it’s going to be near impossible again.

    Tldr; listen to these guys and go to a Dr, trying to home brew a solution will either do nothing or hurt yourself.

      Again with the “definitely not a doctor” preface here, but I’m still working under the assumption that prostate massage/play would be good for this. Or, at least, doctors have told me that prostate stimulation is good for prostate health in the long run… But maybe that’s prevention and not cure?

      Also… I won’t be eating steak for a while…

        Same, that’s what I had heard that’s leading me to try some gentle exploration. If people safely do it for pleasure anyway, maybe if the pieces are still somewhat separate and just need to be shook around a bit (I’m thinking like when you go a bit too long without using a sugar cereal so it becomes one big brick and maybe you just need to flick it a bit to break it back up), I can go back to clearing my own system. I have a feeling diet and exercise are big players here too. But like everyone keeps saying, I’ll be careful and get in touch with a doctor before too awfully long.
