Bike Seats That May Save Your Sex Life, Or Not

The L.A. Times has some discouraging good news for cyclists who bought bicycle seats that are designed to save riders from cycling-related sexual dysfunction: the new seats don’t work. According to the Times, some medical researchers say the redesigned seats don’t prevent
erectile dysfunction, that the modifications don’t necessarily ensure
adequate blood flow to the penis. They advocate a more radical seat
design that some cyclists say is dangerous. What to do? You could try a different position–on the bike. The paper reports that In a study of 17 riders published in 2005 in the Journal of Sexual
Medicine, researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine found
that straddling a bike seat with a nose significantly reduced blood
velocity in the arteries to the penis by more than 95%, but that
sitting on a "two cheek" noseless saddle had virtually no adverse
effect. Read more about how to improve your chances of riding well in any position.
