Bike Riding Can Make You Go Limp
By Steve Blechman and Tom Fahey, Ed.D.
Do bicycle riders make better lovers? While many undoubtedly have good technique in the bedroom, a significant number have trouble getting erections. A study by Dr. Ken Taylor and colleagues from the University of California, San Diego, found that as many as 21 percent of male cyclists experienced genital numbness that made it difficult for them to attain or maintain erections. They did not find the same result in a study published latterly. Only 14 percent of cyclists reported problems with impotence, a prevalence similar to the general population. Most urologists agree that long, narrow bicycle seats put pressure on the penile nerve and traumatize delicate genital tissues. They recommend switching to a supine bicycle or trying one of the male-friendly bicycle seats that take pressure off the genitals. Until medical science decides whether riding a bike ruins sexual performance, some people might want to forget cyclists and date more bodybuilders. (J Urol, 172: 1028-1031)
ED Linked to Unhealthy Lifestyles. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a strong predictor of heart disease. A 10-year study of middle-aged men by researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio showed that ED predicted cardiovascular disease risk, as well as cigarette smoking or a family history of heart attack (JAMA,294:2996-3002). A Harvard study found that obesity, lack of exercise and smoking – significant risk factors of heart disease – increased the risk of ED in middle-aged men. Of 22,000 men without erection problems who participated in the study, nearly one-fifth developed ED 15 years later. ED risk increased dramatically in men over 50 who were overweight, smoked or didn’t exercise. The results were more notable in men under 50 – those with these risk factors were four times more likely to have erection problems than healthy men the same age. ED and coronary artery disease share many of the risk factors; both can be improved through healthy diet, smoking cessation, weight control and exercise. Researchers concluded that preventing erectile problems might encourage men to lead healthier lifestyles. (Journal Urology, 176: 217-221)
