Cycling Can Perk Up Men's Sex Life

Cycling Can Perk Up Men's Sex Life

Men usually take Viagra, “the little blue pill,” to spice up their sex life, but a new research shows that men can improve their sex life simply with cycling!!!

The innovative study, published in this month's issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, suggests a no-nose bicycle seat can overcome harmful health effects associated with existing seat, including penile numbness and erectile dysfunction.

Perching on a traditional seat for long periods of time is a proven cause of sexual dysfunction, including impotence and problems maintaining an erection. Now, the experts suggest that using the noseless bicycle saddle can lessen aforementioned teasing side effects of pedaling on a traditional bicycle saddle, the long nose of which can rub men the wrong way.

In their research, lead researcher Dr. Steven Schrader of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Cincinnati, and colleagues found that men who had switched from traditional cycle seats to no-nose saddle seats improved their penile sensation and reported a reduction in erectile dysfunction, thanks to the design of noseless saddles that cradles the buttocks and provides freedom out front.

To reach their findings, Dr. Schrader’s team traced 90 bicycling police officers in five metro areas in the United States who gave up their traditional saddles for the no-nose variety for six months.

The researchers noticed that use of noseless saddles reduced the saddle contact pressure in the perineal region by an average 66%. They also noticed a significant improvement in penile tactile sensation.

The percentage of policemen who reported they had not experienced genital numbness while cycling for the preceding six months rose from 27 percent to 82, using no-nose seats. The percentage of policemen who indicated they had not experienced penile numbness rose from 27% to 82%.

Dr. Schrader stated, “No-nose saddles are a useful intervention for bicycling police officers alleviating pressure to the groin and improving penis health. Different saddle designs may require some re-learning of ‘how to ride a bicycle,’ but the health benefits to having unrestricted vasculardefine flow to and from the penis and less penile numbness is self-evident.”

"It looks different and when you first get on the bike you have to balance differently, but it's not a difficult adjustment," he said. "[Noseless saddles] take the pressure off the groin area, they're much more comfortable to use."

Dr. Schrader said as many men are shy to talk about the numbness or impotence simply replacing their traditional cycle saddles with the noseless seats is a good option for them.

ED Prescription Drugs

When you say ED there are two names that pop up in your mind: Viagra and Cialis.
That's why when you order a discount buy of Viagra online you get it from big pharmacies like Kmart and Wal-Mart. Other issues you may face with cheap impotence medications is that you can only buy generic Viagra online for lower than $10 per pill.
Buying Viagra online can be easier in the future.
