Also the prostate is not a benign organ. It is a part of the reproductive system. Sperm that are produced in the testis are transported to the prostate by tube like lines called vas deferens. The sperm is mixed with fluid in the prostate that nourishes and protects the sperm. The fluid and sperm mix is expelled as semen. Without a prostate a man cannot reproduce.

After reading some and actually watching the procedure on Youtube (yep its there) I would think you're right about me misunderstanding him. But I will ask him again when I go for a check up. As far as reproducing, my reproduction days are over, I just practice now....
