Strange...riding or looking at a motorcycle usually gives me an erection.
If a doc advises me what the article does I will make him sit pillion and ride 300ks
He will then go propagating that riding leads to having balls in ones mouth. Now that I will believe.

hahaha...

btw I would like to meet the person whome you have quoted in your sig...

ROFLMAO
and anyway... we get our butt sore right.... our penis or the area between the butt never becomes sore... cauz there is no pressure on them, if even they become sore, then iron butt ride would have been called iron penis rides :P

this article has virtually nothing to do with "motor"bikes.





EDIT:

the poor chap has zero posts to his account.
all his posts are gone.

you can still find traces of it in the 2011 Ducati Monster 796 tho.

Been riding since the last 25 years, and my daughter is 1.5 years old now

this article is regarding bicycles and not about motorcycles....guys.

^^^ Well said!!! Me riding for 14 years & 2 healthy kids

My Mom warned me about this some time back after reading in a magazine!
No idea how true this is though

These settles it.. I'm not worried...

isn't the sitting position quite similar in both the cases?

But the seat of a motorcycle is broader and has more cushioning... Therefore the seat doesn't smash *it*... Also when sitting on the motorcycle most of your weight rests on your butt rather than the region between your butt and your balls...

i totally agree with j4zb4, Motorcycle seats are cushioned & have more surface area, whereas the bicycle seats are narrower, especially in the front where most of the rider's weight will be & adding to it is the pedaling action so "it" will be crushed with weight & movement, (imagine the effects of it on Tour de France riders, pedaling hard in crouching posture for DAYS.)

I am riding motorcycles since the last 30+ years and have 2 kids aged 14 & 10 , so i don't believe that riding motor bikes will lead to impotency

I am happy now

This applies to both motorcycle and bicycle seats but it is a lot more severe in the case of a bicycle. The groove-cut seat is not only better for your babymaker, it is also a lot more comfortable as more air circulates in that area and you don't feel as sore after a ride.

and a Cell Phone Carried Regularly in Your Pocket Damage Your Manhood Too:P

According to Tim Ferriss in his book, The 4-Hour Body ... "Lo and behold, jumping from article to article on Medline, there were more than a handful of studies that showed significant decreases in serum testosterone in rats following even moderate exposure (30 minutes per day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks) to 900 megahertz radio frequency electro-magnetic fields (EMF), which is what most GSM cell phones produce."

Beyond lowering testosterone, can cell phones hurt your "swimmers"?

Tim did some more digging, but this time switched gears from just cell phone effects on lowering testosterone levels, and he began researching cell phone effects on sperm count and function.

Tim continues, "Of the dozens of studies that I found, most done in Europe, more than 70% concluded the same thing: cell phone radiation impairs sperm function."

In The 4-Hour Body, Tim also presents the results of a study he read about male Wistar rats that were exposed to a mobile phone for 1 hour continuously per day for 28 days... the end result of the study was that the mobile phone exposure to the rats significantly reduced the % of motile sperm. The conclusion was that mobile phones negatively affect semen quality and may impair male fertility.

Think about this... they were only exposed to the mobile phone radiation for 1 hour per day for 28 days, and showed negative effects on sperm count and function.... how many of us out there carry a cell phone in our pocket for like 8-10 hours every day!!!!

Doesn't look good for our "boys", does it?

Now it gets even more interesting... It turns out that Tim first started researching the correlation between low sperm count and cell phone use because he went and got a sperm count test, and found out that his numbers were surprisingly low.

In Tim's words... "the lab results, which were available the afternoon after my session, put my sperm count on the low range of normal, borderline problematic. I couldn't believe it. Assuming it was a lab mistake, I repeated the drill 3 weeks later and came back with an even lower count. The more tests I did over the next 12 months, the lower the results."

After Tim started researching the effects of cell phone use on sperm count, he realized that for years, he'd been carrying a cell phone in his pocket for about 12 hours per day, most days of the week.

So he decided to do a test...

For 11 weeks, Tim decided that he would no longer carry his cell phone in his pocket... or as he puts it "my phone was no longer allowed to cuddle with my testicles".

Instead, he kept the phone on the other side of the room if working at home, or if he had to go somewhere, he kept his phone either strapped to his arm with an ipod armband, or in a backpack pocket. If he had to carry it in his pocket, he turned it off, and only turned it back on occasionally to check messages.

He actually performed this test for 11 weeks for a specific reason... sperm production takes an estimated 64 days in humans... so he wanted to wait that long, plus an extra 2 weeks for buffer.

The results of the 11 week "no-cell-phone-in-the-pocket" test:

The numbers are shocking...

Ejaculate volume: 44% increase
Motile sperm per milliliter: 100% increase
Motile sperm per ejaculate: 185% increase
