Cycling & your bits

[GayDadx2]

Need some help here . . . As part of my fitness I now cycle to & from work 15km / 8miles each way By the time I finish my balls feel like they’ve been kicked by my kids.

I’ve got padded shorts, but can anyone recommend ways to position your cock and balls in them to make it somewhat comfortable? I don’t have huge a softie so it’s not like that’s a problem.

Penis pointing up and scrotum pulled forward?

I read some where that cycling can damage your penis and testicles can cause ed.

[Hidden in reply to Ipsquint47]

I think there a few important nerves etc in that area that are prone to pressure damage by poorly designed saddles.

Yep. I think problem is more or less the perineum rather than balls itself.

Up and forward as mentioned. Make sure riding position is optimal, either Google and adjust yourself or bike shops can assist. Worth getting a reasonable saddle too if you don’t already. Your body also strengthens so initial saddle, lower back and wrist soreness will go as fitness for this type of exercise improves.

Thanks guys - I went to a bike shop yesterday and they recommended getting a new saddle fitted that better suits my frame and riding position so hopefully that makes a difference.

That sounds good. It would be a shame to have to give up a healthy habit.

I’m just starting to really enjoy it. It’s a nice ride through London at 6.30am when there’s not a lot of traffic.

This is a good ques...I had the same but I think it comes down to having a proper bike fit and making sure the saddle is positioned properly. Otherwise, I usually get seated and then shuffle my bits about...cock up but it usually flops down a bit, and lift balls up but they normally settle into place!
