Bicycle seats.

So I have always wondered. What's the truth about bicycle seats. Do some of you actually get aroused wile ridding? Or is it just extremely uncomfortable?

For a man I guess it depends on whether he is pointing up or down at the time he gets erect. If up, I suppose it is just a little annoying. I can't see it being all that pleasurable. If it is pointing down when it starts getting erect, I suppose it could be very annoying or possibly painful pulling on the skin.

For me, it just gets wet and sloshy, and since I don't like to feel wet unless I'm having sex, I don't like it.

At Switchable, that may be why the special lady's racing seats that were marketed a few years ago had the slot in them to prevent labia chafing, or so it was claimed. Most of the older bicycles were fitted with big wide padded seats for ladies; a rather chauvinistic approach. Anything that makes a woman get wet turns me on.

Before I had my Colnago CX-1, I had an Austro-Daimler with an Avocet ladies saddle. It never made me chafe or very aroused but I do get a little moist there at times, and sometimes I discreetly (sometimes NOT so discreetly!) stick my hand in my shorts with a tissue to dry off because you don't wear underwear with cycling shorts and sometimes I feel like a slut. After all, the guys don't wear underwear either under their shorts, and you can perfectly see every man's package (and my cameltoe).

My husband said he couldn't ride sitting on my Avocet seat. The shape was all wrong for a man. On the other hand, with my Colnago, I just use the seat the bicycle came with, the Z3. That seat is a male seat and it doesn't arouse me that much either, but the whole bicycle does! If my bicycle frame was the same size as my husband's, I'd have to fight him off for it when we ride! He has bicycle envy!

My wife prefer a "queen seat" ( OK , NOT A QUEENCHAIR ) this is a type of extremely comfortable bicycle dutch seat,

just good for " highways " forget offroad or trekking.

Here is the link of the last model http://www.bikester.fr/pieces-detachees/selle/selle-velos-de-route/286179.html

I've got a Trek Navigator with a stock seat on it. I can't hardly sit on that thing more than a hour! I've been riding 20-30 miles a week. My ass just can't stand it much more than that. Maybe if I got an erection I could last longer!HA! But the thought of you women getting wet while riding, hmmm. Makes me want to go ride right now!

A lot has been written about the adverse effects on the sex life of men who ride a bike a lot. Not only does it affect a nerve in the perianal area, the constant shock on the testicles is bad.

I once saw a pic of a prototype bike seat for men which was anatomically correct, but it never sold. Seems men were embarrassed about it 😃

Oh, to answer your question directly, no I never get aroused by it. Quite the opposite; at best I end up with some genital/perianal numbness after a long ride and at worse it can be uncomfortable. The hybrid road bikes are an improvement over the old ten speed diamond style frame bikes.

On weekends, I used to ride 100 miles plus for several weekends in a row. Never had a problem. However, there is a correlation between the cost of the seat and the amount of discomfort. In addition, the bicycle must be fitted to you buy an experienced person. The cost of a good fitting can run between fifty and a hundred dollars. The seat must be positioned forwards or back and the height is very important. All of this must be set in relation to your feet on the pedals. It is not a simple procedure.

. . . . The seat must be positioned forwards or back and the height is very important. All of this must be set in relation to your feet on the pedals. It is not a simple procedure.

That is very true, but once you get the basic position set, nothing beats riding around with a 5mm Allen key and fine tuning the fore/aft and tilt.

Regarding "bikers penis" and perineal numbness, women as well as men can be affected, but it's the men that have most of the studies and surveys. If the pressure on nerves and blood vessels is very prolonged, temporary numbness can result and greater periods of trauma can cause impotence. I can attest to the fact that this numbness can affect women too because it has happened to me when my husband and I have done century rides with the club.

Colnago and a wet pussy! It just doesn't get any better than that. Of course, if I were your hubby I would want to get a nice lick in at all the sag stations!

I use a Brooks leather saddle since twenty years now.

It's now perfecly shaped for me ;-))

No numbness at all after now about 20000Km!

The Brooks is the archetypical leather saddle and is a classic. I believe it was introduced in the 1940' or 50s with different models. They start out like a rock and get softer (never softer than medium) after a few years of hard riding.

I have my Colnago CX-1 for only a year and a half or so. The degree of numbness is proportional to how long and how far you lean forward on the bike because that's the position that puts pressure on perineal nerves and blood vessels. Holding the handlebar tops greatly reduces the problem. Since I ride bent over, time trial style, I get more numbness when I'm really pushing it.

Maybe I'll do something about the seat next spring. :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ I don't like riding outdoors in winter, not because of the cold, but because the sanded roads between snowfalls where I live are treacherous. I'll see how I feel after riding my rollers this winter. I do have to do exercise besides flogging and fucking my husband and lately, I like cycling better than tennis or swimming.

Bicycle seats are like shoes -- different seats fit different people. If someone is riding their bike & getting pain or numbness, then something's not right. It could easily be that particular bicycle seat, or it could be the bike "fit".

Most storefront shops don't accept returns of bike saddle, but many online shops do. You can actually try out different seats, find the one that fits your anatomy best, and return the rest for full credit. No one would think of wearing the exact same running shoes for a marathon, they'd find the shoe that fits their feet best.

Quality bike shops can do a "Fit Kit" setup, and that can help with discomfort problems. You'll be surprised how much difference a couple of millimeters adjustment can make, especially in the seat height & angle. Many people ride with the nose (pointy end) of the saddle too low, pointing down slightly. That causes a rider to slip forward on the narrow part of the saddle. With the nose level (or slightly up) and the saddle slightly forward, the weight is shifted back to the wider part of the saddle, and often solves lots of discomfort problems.

Happy pain-free riding everyone, & great sex afterwards.

Leather seats are like shoes, you have to wear them in!

Once you have done this they fit perfect like old shoes. It took some time but the result was worth it!

When i ride into town with my bike i lock it to a post and take the saddle with me.

If the bike then is stolen the insurance can pay for a new bike, but they don't wear the new Brooks in ;-)

Nope, never get erect by bicycle seat no matter how far I paddle.. unless I think something dirty while paddling.hmm I m envy with gal can get arouse by bicycle seat.. that lucky seat... i wish i m that bicycle seat... lol

One more thing that make me wonder??? do exercise bicycle like in fitness center or gym include... sometime i see women paddling this exercise bike for very long time while staring at half naked muscled guy in the gym ... : )

I just got off of my bike. I wore a flexible cock ring. It was the first time. I didn't think it was going to work, but it actually kind of kept my balls up out of the way! Ha!
