I think by now it’s common knowledge that bike seats can cause Erectile Dysfunction (henceforth “ED”) in men, or at least the pop-science mythology is prevalent enough. That “fact” was one of the reasons I was apprehensive about biking in the first place when I started to work in SF two years ago. My esteemed and highly bike-knowledgeable coworker Mark Palange laid my fears to rest by explaining that a seat won’t hurt you so long as you’re sitting on your ischial tuberosities and not your perineum (henceforth “sitbones” and “taint”). Otherwise you’re gonna be crushing nerves and blood vessels, doing nerve damage and greatly reducing bloodflow to your genitals (henceforth “junk”). So I got a bike and looked for seats…
