It is very strange thing. One article read can return you to your childhood. There I was, somewhere around eight years old, and I got my first bicycle. Not a new one. As the years went by, I acquired a sequence of slightly less than new bicycles until I was old enough to get motorised wheels. This nostalgia lay dormant until a TV advertisement some years ago in which a father reluctantly buys his son the racing bicycle he has been coveting and observes with a sad shake of his head that the saddle will, “cut him in half”. Today, I was looking down a list of risk factors for erectile dysfunction published by the Mayo Clinic, and the last item of their list is, “Prolonged bicycling”. It seems that the television father was right to be concerned about his son’s safety. At this point, all men reading this should get off their bicycles immediately and order cialis online. Bicycles are dangerous to your sexual health. Except, of course, this would be a completely irrational response. It is absolutely no doubt, that it is the best ecological transport type. In 2005, The Journal of Sexual Medicine published studies yet again linking saddle design to ED. The more pressure the saddle puts on the neurovascular bundle or perineum, that is the area between the scrotum and the anus through which arteries and nerves pass on their way to “sensitive” areas, the greater the risk of ED. Apparently, seats which have a nose extension (a wonderfully inappropriate part name), restrict the flow of blood to the penis. Millions of people around the world have been using bicycles for more than one hundred years and, although there have been medical comments linking numbness to saddles from 1890 onwards, there has never been an epidemic of ED. The fact that the birth rates have been falling recently (despite the presence of cialis on the market) has nothing to do with bicycles. This is, of course, the same argument used by tobacco companies that millions of smokers do not get lung cancer. Nevertheless, cycling a few miles to work or recreational use is unlikely to cause any long-term problems. Such risks as do exist are, as the Mayo Clinic assert, from prolonged cycling. You would have to be doing hundreds of miles a month for there to be any real risk. So, when buying your next saddle, always make sure you get one that does not unduly compress the perineum - saddles with “cut-outs” or grooves intended to relieve pressure are on the market. Marketers claim that a deep split in the back and a groove down the middle of a saddle reduce the risks of ED although the research evidence is less clear that this design actually has a beneficial effect. Right! So let us get a little more real. However, note a study on the BMJ in 2004 in which long-distance riders were evaluated. The conclusion was that road bicycles are less “dangerous” than mountain bikes. More pain and numbness was associated with lower handlebar settings. And finally, this can improve blood flood in areas you need. If all else fails, there is always cialis to dilate the arteries again before enjoying sexual activity.
