That's why you get a really good saddle that fits your sitbones so you don't sit on those nerves.

Already have a vasectomy.
>>895127
A vasectomy doesn't make you impotent. In fact the whole point of one is allowing you to fuck as much as you want without consequences.
I've been saying that for years /n/iggers
but you just didn't want to listen

I think you have confused impotence with impudence.
This is now a recumbent thread
>>895344
Common knowledge. Padded shorts are key.
Seriously though, does anyone have scientifically relevant information on this that doesn't come from the daily fucking mail? It kind of is an important issue for everyone here.
>>895344
What are recumbents like off road? I mean just muddy tracks, not proper off road.
>>895355
Thats like asking- How well do upright bikes manage offroad? Well. Be specific. What type of recumbent do you mean? Lowracer? Highracer? Touring ? MBB? Velomobile? Delta? Tadpole? Streamliner? etc etc. Just like roadbikes suck offroad, your recumbent will suck offroad too if you ride on skinny tires. If you ride a touring bent, they often have thick tires. they manage just fine like any other touring bike.
>daily mail
Being obese from being a fat shit cage rager probably has a better chance of making you impotent.

>Prolonged pressure on the tissues of the perineum (the area of the groin between the penis and anus) can damage blood vessels and nerves responsible for an erection
>The good news is that nearly every cyclist who experiences erectile dysfunction or impotence will have symptoms before the problem becomes serious. Reduced blood flow to the perineum causes pain, numbness or tingling in the perineum long before men develop ED. If you don't have problems with pain, numbness or tingling, stop worrying and enjoy your ride. If you do have pain, address the problem before it gets worse.
If you're causing damage to your perineum (located between your anus and scrotum) you'll know.

So what do i do? Told my doctor dick feels numb-ish was shrugged off to orthopaedist, told the same to him, was shrugged off with painkillers. wtf..?
Now i just ride standing all the time.
>>895386
How often do you ride?
What do you wear when you are riding?
What kind of bike?
What kind of riding are you doing?
If you're just commuting from A to B you should be fine. If not you might need to consider where you can lower your intensity, or just not ride for a few weeks until you heal.
>>895388
Just a 8 mile round trip commute every day in casual clothes. More on weekends, but if it's longer than 1..2hours i wear bibs.
The numbness was sudden, i woke up one morning and couldn't feel it. Now it's been more or less numb for a year already. It seems to get worse when i have to sit the whole day at desk. Honestly I'm not even sure it has to do with cycling.. but thats is a constant activity I do. I suspect i might have fucked something up in back that evening, while doing dead-lifts.
>>895360
>Thats like asking- How well do upright bikes manage offroad?
No it's not. Recumbents don't allow you to transfer your weight effectively, so they're fundamentally handicapped off-road.
>>895421
Sometimes I get pins and needles in my crotch if I adopt an incorrect riding position for a while. What you're describing sounds fundamentally different and probably should not be ignored.
>>895386
Discuss it with a decent fitter/ coach. Experiment with saddles
>>895326
>2015
>not constantly jacking it
I'm riding on a stock seat that came with my mountain bike, one of those small ones, and I have no impotence/erection issues. All my weight is on my pelvic sitting bones, not the perineum channel (taint), I also wear cycling shorts, but I don't think that makes a difference. I ride a lot, so take it from me, if you have a seat that fits you, you won't have dick problems.
>>895377
Thank you anon, that's actually very helpful. I guess as always using some damn common sense is worth a lot more than believing random fear-mongers.
>>895344
It's cool but I can't take it on the bus...
>>895422
something similar happened to me, I fucked my back while deadlifting, numbness in the right side of my lower body. I guess it's a combination between the two, straining your lowerback while riding pinches a nerve and causes numbness and reduced bloodflow from the saddle only worsens it.
For me what worked was first to stop deadlifting, strengthening the core with some other low impact excercise, warming up my lowerback before riding and the most important thing, finding the correct saddle position. Also i noticed that while riding i arched my lowerback sticking out my butt, putting your perineum more in contact with the saddle. Again, this is a sign of weak core.
Excuse me if this doesn't make sense i;m falling asleep.

Dr Schrader
this guy sells bike seats btw...
I asked my urologist about this
He said it was complete crap because the arteries are too far up in the body to be crushed or damaged by a bike seat.
Numbness in the groin is caused from pressure on something called the pudendal nerve which runs kind of out from the pelvis near the taint but entrapment wouldn't cause impotency.
That's okay, just ride DH so you never need to sit down.

How do you not chafe like fuck?
>>895693
>>896190
Not him but I always wear casual clothes. Did 80k in jeans once, no chafe. Key is not being fat i think
>>896190
Not him but I ride in my everyday clothes since my commute isn't a sweaty ride. Jeans, chino shorts, whatever, I haven't had any problems with chafing.
I just have standard bonds boxer-briefs underneath. Though I did recently pick up some of the compression/sports style ones since it's getting into summer here so I'm worried about getting too hot. Gotta get some cool undies to keep my junk fresh.
>>896599
It depends on your bones a lot. Even when I weighed 120 lbs, my thighs rubbed together when walking. Now that I'm 170, they touch only slightly more. There's a girl I know with pretty big thighs, but her hips are really widely spaced, so her legs don't touch.

Oh, the rage of the autistic recumfag, what a common sight in our lovely board.
You know you'll be mocked and insulted thanks to your smug little internet persona, but you always come back. Is your phallic fixation making you come back to our board? Admiration? Literal mental retardation? We might never know. We've come to accept you for what you are: this board's little pet monkey. Oh yes, a rabid little monkey jumping around in his cage among puddles of his own feces.
Let me remind you that there was a time when your little fetish (recumbents) was welcome in this board, just as other means of transportation. You single-handedly changed that thanks to your mongoloid internet persona and your "em-em-make impotent" shitposting. Now every recumbent thread is routinely trolled and filled with shitposting, all thanks to you. You ruined your own hobby on this board thanks to your autism and social retardation, just like you ruined all your friendships. After all, there's a sad reason why you're here bumping and shitposting.
But we have something in common: we like riding. I'll admit there's a few differences. I'm a normal cyclist with an upright bike, and you're a failed abortion struggling to move your obese girth with the help of a sweaty, fourth-hand recumbent. But that's okay, at least we both enjoy riding.
So why don't you do just that? Put on some kit, get on your recumbent. Ride along feeling the wind on your face. Hear the birds, the spinning wheels, the wheezing of the gears. Then roll under the wheels of the truck and make us all a little bit happier.

My sides, Jesus
>>900135
harsh but lovely.
>>900135
im not going to take sides here
but this dudes trying to warn everyone. The less people that suffer impotence and damage, the better. This shit isnt a joke, I almost lost my dick from riding my redline cyclocross around town last summer. The repeated trauma does add up after a while.
Sooner or later everyone is going to realize this shit is hard on my body
The human body isnt really designed to sit on narrow saddles all day . Maybe wide leather spring saddles from a long time ago, but today, the original upright bicycle design with a narrow seat and forward riding position has evolved so far that its starting to push the limits of pressure points down there. When things go wrong, like if you have the wrong size saddle, they go wrong and you might get some narrowing or blood flow loss down there. less blood flow from crimped veins = more possibility of poor healing = maybe peyrones disease or impotence.
>>900278
Human do a lot of shit they weren't designed to do. Like sit in an office 8 hours a day.

sitting on ANY hard seat is bad for you and will constrict blood flow. get a padded seat, issue solved
also I have a dick that hangs lower than normal, I have never had an issue with my dick being squeezed while riding my road bike. Its my pelvic bones that make contact with the seat, not my crotch.
>>901288
Or get padded shorts.

Remove saddle and seatpost. Ride standing up all the time. You will get mega quads and mega erections no prob

Not to mention kids who will majorly eat into time you could be riding

>sandpaper on the saddle
who would do that?
>>904528
Someone who slipped out of the saddle I the time I figure
>>904528
Many world class road time trialists. Due to the UCI fit rules, they end up sitting on the nose of the saddle. Because of the reduced load on the saddle, there is less friction force and therefore more slipping. Sandpaper increases the coefficient of friction and thus allows them to maintain a more consistent position.
On this occasion, Martin was using a new (World Champion) skinsuit which proved less resistant to abrasion than his previous one.
