Bicycle Seats
|
When the pressure on your perineum exceeds your body's ability to compensate, you can be in agony!
Why didn't it cause a problem for you before? Because you were younger! Plain and simple. Youth is a lot more resilient to all kinds of bodily abuse.
I've even discussed the problem of bicycle seats with professional bicycle racers. And, they say, "Yeah, it hurts. But, that's the price you pay."
Well I've had that pain. And, I swear I thought I was dying!
It hurt like crazy! And, it was only getting worse.
I had no idea what was wrong with me.
I had bought a hand made made Italian racing bike. My dream since I was a kid. And, I fell in love!
I rode it tirelessly! It was ecstasy! But, at the same time I was developing a rather chronic pain in my testicles. I thought it was a prostate problem. But, I couldn't correct it.
Then one day I was out for a ride and I stopped to talk to a neighbor. I was explaining the pain I was in. I was saying I was afraid I had some terrible disease. And he simply said, "Well of course. You're always on that bike. Those bicycles seat will destroy your nuts."
I just looked at him and said, "Does that have anything to do with it?"
He laughed and said, "Of course. Everybody knows that. Bicycle seat problems are common knowledge." (except to me!) "Look at what happened to Lance Armstrong."
"Really?..." was all I could say.
I immediately went home and did some intense research. Everything confirmed what my neighbor had said about bicycle seats and testicular pain. I stopped riding the beloved bike that day. Within 2 weeks I was Totally pain free! And, I had been suffering for months!
What I learned is that the nose of all regular bicycle seats rests right on the perineum. Your full body weight goes onto those few inches of critical sexual tissue. The perineum was never made to withstand all of that pressure. So it gets injured and/or damaged.
The perineum connects the penis to the prostate. It Is where the semen flows and also where ALL the nerves connected to your sexual apparatus run. When you injure or irritate your perineum you can have prostate pain, or testicular pain, or penile pain, or pain in ALL those areas.
With a doctors exam, nothing will show up. He won't have a clue why you think you're dying.
And, no amount of nutrition or prostate massage will remedy the problem.
There are however some seats on the market that have no nose. If you do a Google search for "prostate bicycle seats" you'll find them.
They have 2 cushions that rest on the cheeks of your butt. No nose. So, your perineum receives no pressure.
I had to try out a few before I found a comfortable one. It doesn't have the same feel as a regular seat. And, it takes while to get used to. But, I could do a 15 mile ride on one and feel great afterward. Every time!
So if you're a bicycle rider, and you're experiencing testicular pain, prostate pain or any other sexual pain, try not riding your bicycle for a couple of weeks. If you feel better, you'll know you need one of the prostate bicycle seats.
Be Well.....
