Hey, what do you he-men out there do about your crotch while cycling?
I think all them years of hard riding are finally catching up with me
(LOL) -- would y'all please recommend something like, I dunno, special
seats, seat posts, underwear, shocks, etc.??  What's the science on
this unfortunate "occupational hazard", anyway?  Links, citations,
please?

Just think...future generations will thank you!  I certainly will!

For off-road bike:
Big tires
High TPI tires
Low tire pressures
Full suspension (preferably coil)
Carbon seat post
WTB Rocket V Laser saddle
Performance Gel shorts
Stand up once in a while

For road bikes, I don't know. Just thinking about them makes my
posterior sore.

If you are trying to be funny, I have nothing to add. If you are serious,
you need to explain your problem. Most cases of crotch problems simply
require fine tuning your position and possibly a saddle change. As far as
your statement, "all them years of hard riding" is concerned, you need to
get this saddle problem sorted out before putting the big miles in. Once the
problem is solved, big miles are very easy on male hardware. During the
early season when you are adding time in the saddle to your schedule, your
a.s does get used to the rest. That is really the only area that should be
uncomfortable for a while.

I have never had problems with my crotch.

Sounds like carniverous worms to me.

See a doctor.

What??  Oh, sorry, I should have been more detailed in my
description...it's my crotch, that area "underneath" one's testicles
in-between either thigh, the point of that pelvic bone...sorry, I'm
not really familiar with anatomical names...I didn't mean the
testicles, actually, I mean that region...where a vagina would be on
female variants of human beings!

Really, I'm not the only one having a problem...it seems seat
adjustment does but so much...I try to avoid bumps when I can, but
that stuff pretty much comes with the territory, on or off-road...I
will check out the links...thanks to all who replied....

The technical term is the 'notcher' (as it's notcher balls, and notcher arse)

No, that's "taint", as in "taint quite yer balls, taint
quite yer arse"...

You are right, I should have been more detailed in my
description...I'm having discomfort in my "crotch", that area where a
woman's vagina would be, right between the thighs where the "point" of
the pelvis is...after close to an hour of riding it gets
uncomfortable...it's not quite pain, but close enough I suppose,
though nothing sharp...really just an uncomfortable sensation,
ironically bordering on numbness....

> Most cases of crotch problems simply
> require fine tuning your position and possibly a saddle change.

Yeah, but except for that fancy seat with the hole in it, I've tried
every saddle variant there is, it seems, at most every height and
angle....

My a.s, as such, has no problem unique to cycling (what the Germans
call "Sitztfleisch" for studying occasions the same casual discomfort
whether sitting at work or at a boring movie).  It is that area
between the a.s and the cheeks, in-between the thighs...yes, it's
surely a saddle issue, in the end...I was just wondering if there's a
particular seat (or underwear or whatever) I should use....

> I have never had problems with my crotch.

Well, I wish I could say the same...I've been riding since thirteen,
I've only taken two years off while in the Army, otherwise I've been
riding every year...I'd say a good ten miles a week, on average, each
and every year...and now that I'm thirty, I'm supposed to be worried
about this stuff....

that might be "perineum"

If ye has ye balls mounted that far down, they're probably being crushed between ye
thighs.

No cycling seat will help you, much less any chair you will ever find.  Why don't ya just
whack the old family jewels off?  At least you'll be able to cycle.  :)_

my opinion is that you should check your seat tilt and front to rear
positioning. conventional wisdom is to have it level front-to-rear,
but that doesn't work for everyone. having the rails slid too far
forward in the post clamp will have you constantly sliding onto your
sensitive bits and will also put too much pressure on your hands and
arms. the best thing i ever did for my nether region was to install a
two bolt seat post with 25mm offset(found on sale at performance).
this allows infinite tilt and positioning adjustments that never slip.
i also don't subscribe to the theory of the new "crotch-saver"
saddles. i'm running a brooks champion flyer with standard nose and it
is more comfortable than any of the others i've used, including koobi,
selle italia, and selle san marco (all of the 'crotch-saver' type).
