Riding Bikes May Cause ED

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability observed in men during the sexual activity to hold the erection or sustain the erection. Many diseases like diabetes, blood pressure, or heart problems contribute to the erectile dysfunction. And, according to the latest study, ridding the bike may cause erectile dysfunction. According to the new study the men who ride motorcycles are at risk of impotence and urinary problems, possibly because the vibration of the engine damages nerves in their penises. It has been noted that nearly 52% of men who ride bike on daily basis are found to be suffering from the erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction is found to be the main cause of the unsatisfactory sex life among the married as well as unmarried couples.

Men are unable to have the successful intercourse and this was finally leading to the decline in the birth rate in many countries. Men had to really cautious now as even riding the bike for the more frequently could make them face the deadliest problem of erectile dysfunction.

A previous study conducted in 2006 included 230 riders of which 70% suffered erectile dysfunction or experienced problems emptying their bladders. Then approximately 76 per cent of riders aged 40 to 49, and 93 per cent of those aged 50 to 59, reported severe erectile dysfunction, compared with 37 per cent and 42 per cent respectively among those who did not ride motorcycles. The study didn’t detail which motorcycles, engine size or the age of the bikes ridden by the participants. As many know, vibration has been reduced in later model motorcycles through mechanical balancing of engines and rubber mounts.

The study was recently conducted by the scientists from the Japan to understand the role of riding bike in the impotence or erectile dysfunction. About 700 men who drive bike on daily basis participated in the study. These men were put for the questionnaire regarding their sexual life. It was noted that 70% of the men were having a problems in their sexual life. Some men were unable to get the erection, whereas some men were unable to hold the erection for the long time during the sexual intercourse. Few out of them were also suffering with premature ejaculation. Thus, it was clear from the study that bike riding on daily basis and for the more time leads to the erectile dysfunction in men.

It was explained by the group of scientists that the bike seats, vibration of bikes, and heat generated by the bike engines entirely contribute to the erectile dysfunction in men. Due the excessive hear the sperms are found to be burned and the nerves in the penis that supply the blood to the penis are found to be damaged. As a result the blood supply to the penis is found to be reduced and the men are unable to get the erection or even if they get the erection they are unable to hold it. The vibration of bikes also damages the scrotum and sometimes even damages the entire functioning of the penis. Seats in the bikes are quit tough and thus hurt the sensitive parts of the penis. This damages the nerves in penis. Thus all these things contribute and make man prone to the erectile dysfunction. Men should avoid sitting too long on hard bicycle or motorcycle seats, particularly ones with thin, pointed ends, to prevent compression of pelvic floor muscles. Hence keep your bike ride short to make your sexual life happy.
