Bicycle Seats Vs Impotence

Bicycle seats can affect your sexual life

Bicycle seats and impotence are very much interrelated to each other when the first case of damage of blood vessels in the perineum, the shallowly part between the stratum and the anus that serves as the blood highway to the sexual part came into light in 70’s. It was due to the case of the exertion of prolonged pressure due the seat of the Bicycle. After that first case several new cases of pain and disorders in the genital part leading to sexual dysfunction or so called erection dysfunction came into light. Most of the cases indicate“pressure palsy” on the nerve that accompanies the artery to the penis.

The Reason behind the impotence

The reason behind these new causes of sexual disorder was defined by the experts as follow “half of the penis is inside the body, and when some one sits on these bicycle seats he starts putting all his body weight on the arteries that supplies the blood flow to the penis hence exploring those arteries to get hurtled, increasing the chance of disorder with the prolonged use of Bicycle at the above defined posture.

According to Surveys

However several surveys show that most of the riders develop telltale numbness with the intensity of there prolonged use of the Bicycle. It gets again and again with the continuous use of those Bicycle seats hence paving the way for bigger problems like sexual dysfunction in both men and women. Where men get erectile dysfunction, on the other hand women get to have orgasms.

It is reported that around 27.5% of Cycling Peple Group (Age Group 16 or older), rode bicycle at least one in the summer 2002. This means an around more than 55 million people above ages 16 rode bicycle on summer 2002. Male are prevalent for bicycling around 34% where as female are 21.5%. The percentage of bicycling decline steadily with respect to grown ages.

What Study and experiments say?

However several experiments revealed that only 11 percent of the whole body weight is enough for compressing the penile arteries flat. However these arteries regain its shape after the pressure is lifted, but the repeated exertion of pressure may increase the chance of damage to theses arteries leading to complications like erection dysfunction in men and orgasms in women.

However test results shows that cyclists posses 4 fold greater chance of such disorder as respect to the runners which also shows the chance and intensity of penile arteries damage.

Based on several tests the skinny designs of the seats has been modified in order to get better results without damaging the important arteries of the body which is prone to the damage caused due to the irresponsible design of the seats.

Wider seats , seats with no nose, split seats, hammock seats, gel-filled seats, pneumatic seats, seats with wedges and seats with holes cut out in the middle and many other types of friendly designs has been developed and available in the market nowadays.

The perfect sitting posture is to apply the weight of the whole body on the sit bones also known as the ischial tuberosities which you can feel while sitting on the chair. All of us have heard a saying “Health Is Wealth”. You should not have to sacrifice your indigenous health and comfort to the sport.
