Tabloid panic over study (apparently) saying cyclists could crush their genitals if they don't get out the saddle cycling

also reported it, with the headline:"Male Cyclists Should Stand on Pedals to Avoid Damaging Private Parts During Rides, Says Study", while Yahoo! went all the way, saying cyclists should stand to avoid"crushing genitals"., in which Dr Ellie Cannon told viewers:"Crushing your testicles is not good in terms of fertility and things like that."

"Crushing your bits is going to cause, possibly, erectile dysfunction because you're crushing the nerves," she said."Regularly stand up and get some movement and some fresh air down there. Don't squash everything is the message." Speaking about the research, author Kamil Litwinowicz said:"Many men struggle with discomfort when riding a bike and there are concerns this can lead to sexual problems.

"However there is also strong evidence that being sedentary is linked to erectile dysfunction, so cycling as a form of activity could reduce that risk. We don't want men to quit cycling, but instead to look at things like standing on the pedals or using a different saddle." Dr Ippokratis Sarris, a consultant in reproductive medicine and director of King's Fertility, told the Mail:"There is a suggestion that nerve damage from the pressure of cycling can cause loss of sensation and problems with erections, and cycling is linked to infertility, but much more research is needed."
