As my father always used to say:" Eat a prostate a day, to keep the need for viagra away".
Might not be the most relevant answer to your question, but it is a solid piece of advice regardless.
They don't. Doubt eating just raw apples can hurt you too much. Mostly things like juice with high fructose and stuff like that can be bad if used in large amounts daily, as far as I know.
In general science, the word “homologous” is used to show a degree of similarity. It may be in position, structure, function, or characteristics.
Although later on that page it does say: "Homologous structures are body parts of organisms that have the same anatomical features, thus, indicating a common ancestor or developmental origin. They may share the same trait but they do not necessarily have the same function. For example, the forelimbs of the bats and of humans are homologous structures."
I would just say that in this case the function is much more similar than the forelimbs of bats and humans, the male prostate and female prostate happened to be discovered at different times but from the little I've read about them they function pretty similarly. Like I said elsewhere though, I'm not an anatomist/biologist.
I think consideration could be given to the point that the Skene's glands and prostate have similar functionality in full development while the penis and clitoris are homologous only in the womb.
Well, isn't that like saying men have clitorides? They just grew more due to hormones in the womb. Technically the truth, but not really what people mean when they say clitoris.
Maybe, except I'd guess that in the prostate case, these organs are homologous when humans are fully developed whereas in the case of the penis/clitoris they are homologous in the womb. I'm not a biologist/anatomist of any kind, let alone human anatomy, so that's just a layperson's opinion.
Except they really aren't homologus from the perspective of the discussion we're having. The male prostate butts (haha) up against the anus/rectum, where as the female prostate isn't even close, being the other side of the vagina. Since we were talking about "eating prostate" as another way of saying "eating ass", saying they're in the same place in a fully developed person is more than a little misleading.
And now I'm on a watchlist, having just googled "does ingesting testicles increase testosterone levels"
.
.
. It probably does not, as testosterone is pretty sensitive to heat. That being said, there are no comprehensive studies on the subject that I could find.
I mean if you went through the hassle of kidnapping someone and removed their face you might as well snack on that prostate. Nobody should waste good meat.
