Bicycle Race! ...To Erectile Disfunction

...more than two dozen published studies, including several by Goldstein, have confirmed the connection between cycling and sexual dysfunction. Problems can range from impotence — the complete inability to penetrate — to an erection that doesn't last as long as desired.
As with many other cyclists' seats, the nose of the officers' bike saddles exerted excessive pressure on the perineum, the region between the anus and the external genitals, "a place that was never designed to support a person's weight," Schrader wrote. Such pressure is widely believed to be the source of some cyclists' erectile problems, damaging the arteries that supply blood to the penis and the nerves that connect to the penis.
Although erectile dysfunction can go away if cyclists stop riding, it can also be permanent. Treatments include sex therapy, hormones, drug injections in the penis , vacuum devices and drugs such as Viagra and Levitra. Goldstein, as a last resort, will recommend bypass surgery to restore blood flow, but the procedure is considered experimental by some urologists.
...currently working on a design to help male triathletes, who pedal in an extreme forward aerodynamic lean. In that position, "you're riding on your penis," Minkow says.

I had no idea my favorite pass time was so dangerous to my junk. I don't care if the article claims that in one study only a small percent of cyclists have sexual problems because of it. Now whenever I'm on a bike, I will fear that my dong is in constant jeopardy.

Beware of the bicycle seat, all you you!

Also, drug injections into the penis. MY GOD!

    I always suspected there was a connection with penis problems and bicycles

    Which is why I don't ride them, even if it is a hell of a lot easier than running.

    This has been known for a while.

    And I would think a good seat would get rid of this problem.

    You have no idea what some people will inject into their cocks.

    Most of which isn't legal in the USA.

    Well you wouldn't want to start to get turned on mid-race, it could get caught in a spoke.

    Wait, repeatedly bouncing my sensitive equipment up and down on a hard object is bad for it?

    If I ride a bike for just a few hours, it really hurts to pee afterwards. Bike seats are no good.
