nude bicycling: have you ever experienced it before?
Ive noticed recently that when I workout on a static bicycle while Im nude (sadly at home) a weird behaviour in my body. After I bicycling for more than 20 or 25 minutes I begin to have my genital area and butt completely dormant (slept). Ive ridden on bicycle since I have use of reason and Ive never remembered to have this problem before, even Im wearing underwear or not... Its a really weird feeling despite I can continue bicycling for 10 or 15 minutes more, but if I touch my penis or testicles the feeling is like Im touching the genital area of some other man. This sleepy state use to last at least half minute (or I guess so, because I cant wait for the blood to flow back again).
Does anybody have this issue?
I have not had that problem but do you get this riding a regular bike? Are you sitting on a towel? If the blood flow is really getting stopped , consider a seat that is open in the center and point the seat down a bit. I frequently ride naked on rail trails in our state. Had a 20 mi ride this summer. It was hot but real nice.
I just love cycling naked... can't get enough of it...www.worldnakedbikeridetoronto.com
and you never felt this sensation before... it doesnt hurt but its a very weird feeling... btw, thnx for the link it looks interesting
Yep, I get the same thing. I sometimes ride my bicycle to work, which takes me about 35 minutes. By the time I get there, that whole area is numb and feels asleep. I even bought a new seat, with the hole cut out in the middle that is supposed to alleviate that, but I still get it. It's funny because when I was younger, I could ride all day long and never feel that.
I did a little racing when I was a lot younger and it is a common problem for cyclists, this problem should not be taken lightly it is called penile numbness and if it is continuously experienced can have long term affects. As has been said her in other posts adjust your seat height or angle of the front thin part of the seat / saddle or try a new saddle. Go to a proper cycling shop and tell them your problem they will have a saddle to help lessen the problem. The other thing I found useful was to sit further back on the saddle, but mine had a rise to the rear of the saddle and not all saddles have this some are very flat and you just slide off!
Hope this has been of assistance.

Poor circulation from being overweight can cause this problem.
Over weight may make this worse but when I was racing I was as fit as a fiddle and lean and mean so overweight is not the main reason this happens.

Now you guys and girls have me thinking I want to cycle again but only if I can do it NUDE! I loved cycling it is very addictive and great for fitness but nude cycling now that is is the real deal. Just have to find some where to do it and not get booked by the cops!
Anyone in
Brisbane or Sunshine Coast in Queesland interested let me know!
Cheers

this is a very common problem amongst cyclists, and like the other guy just said..its called penile numbness, i dont know what kind of riding you do so this might not be worth the money to get one but you could get a saddle like Selle's Smp, they and saddle alike are great for fixing the problem
now i dont have that problem but my problem is that my bib shorts (spandex shorts for racers/avid cyclists) chafe the head of my penis since im cut, this sucks cuz it numbs my penis and it hurts to touch sometimes if i had a long ride, i have to lube it up with dznuts chamois cream, i hate that i have to do it but thats what sucks about bein cut so......
