This is weird.  Just about 2 weeks ago, the whole thing subsided.
What I mean by "thing" is the episode of what I think to be
prostatitis.

Specifically, in about the middle of September, I began to feel a
tightening in my 'prostate' area (hard to describe, but up and to the
left of my anus, coming from the back forward) during orgasm.

At first, it shocked the hell out of me.  But, in a few orgasms' time,
I began to really enjoy the feeling.  It was a rather pleasureable,
and intense feeling that accompanied the orgasm.  Rather frequently,
the 'prostate' (what I think of it to be) would tighten just before
orgasm.  The tightening would be an added 'bonus' pleasure, and the
orgasm seemed to be more powerful and more lengthy.

Now -- alas -- my friend is gone.  My orgasms are back to 'normal'.
Not entirely dead, but just plan vanilla.  IT's like that prostate
tightening was the added cream and sugar to my sexual coffee.

Sadly, I have to ask:

(1) Is this normal?
(2) Was is prostatitis?
(3) Was this my prostate I was feeling?

Aside from the orgasm part, nothing really hurt, was painful, was
different, nothing in my urination, nothing that I can really think
of.

Cheers.
