Cyclists - Protect Your Assets

For the cycling fanatics out there a friendly word of advice - invest some money in a cycle that has a comfy gel-filled or pneumatic seat. If you opt for the traditional seats you may be putting your sex life at risk. There have been reports recently that have identified a sharp rise in cases of erectile dysfunction in men who cycle regularly. The figures are all the more startling when compared to other sportsmen.

Gel-filled bicycle seats can help you to avoid having to rely on products such as Viagra pills and Levitra to continue with a healthy and active sex life. There can be much damage done to the small blood vessels that are located between the scrotum and the anus. It is these blood vessels which allow blood to travel to the penis to maintain an erection. Cyclists can complain of feeling numbness or even pain in this area following prolonged cycling and this can lead to erectile dysfunction.

Skinny seats cause damage as the whole of the cyclists body weight rests on the scrotal area. Quick shifts in position that are demanded by some bicycle races can add to the damage and can make Viagra a required product for most male cyclists.

However don’t panic. If you like your weekend bike rides it is only constant pressure to the scrotal area that will result in problems. With new style bikes the risk is extremely low.
