This is so embarrassing. I’m encountering a very unpleasant sexual issue due to the intensive training. I’m cycling sometimes more than 3 hours a day and I can’t seem to get a proper erection. My girlfriend was at first upset and she thought that I didn’t like her any more. Now she’s worried because she thinks this can be dangerous. What am I to do about this?

Hi Say,
It's a common problem with cyclists.
Your seat is putting a lot of pressure on the nerves/blood vessels that supply your penis. It can lead to numbness and erectile dysfunction.
Get a seat without a nose on it - NOW. Hopefully the damage will recover.
Good luck.

That’s why I would never train cycling! I like it, though but whenever I ride I have numerous unpleasant sensations in the penile area and sometimes even numbness occurs. I don’t want to risk and become impotent. I don’t know what to suggest you but I think that you should definitely go to doctor and check your blood vessels in the penile area because this problem is closely connected to that. I don’t know much about saddles and bikes, but I’ve read that a good and quality saddle which is well adjusted. That’s how you can spare yourself of inconveniences such as this one. I hope I haven’t upset you. If it’s of any consolation, even if there is a certain disorder with blood vessels induced by cycling, it disappears after a while. I think that it can’t bring about any permanent damage.
