Question: Is it bad for your penis and testicles to ride on a bike?
Answer- first the general positives – then the area of concern
If you do as in the picture above – at various times first think of your erection muscle – and then think of your erections and how strong you want them to become – know that the combination of the life force thoughts listed further below, combined with your bike riding workout will boost and:
- reinforce your sexualness
- increasing blood flow
- further boost testosterone (above what just exercise will do)
- maybe inspire you to look after your erection muscle?
Adding the extra Life Force thought
Bike riding is good for general health & fitness, which will help improve/keep good blood flow to your penis, boost testosterone and with a touch of extra thought – the Life Force – increase your sexualness. To do this whilst riding a bike do any of the following:
- Feel/be aware of your maleness – as you use your muscles to power you and your bike along your route
- feel free and uninhibited with your thoughts as move along on your bike – feeling the power within your body
- bring an awareness to your body that gets deeper and deeper – initially starting with the wind on your face, then perhaps aware of your joints working, your muscles powering you along, your heart pushing the blood around your body. Whatever part of you feels to be powerful, and working well at the time – then add into all of this your penis and testicles…
- …bring about an awareness firstly to your testicles – producing extra testosterone due to your exercise (trust me they’ll be producing more) – then become aware of your penis. For instance is your penis in contact with any other body parts – what’s your tumescence rating – you have this great penis right there – making you a male sexual being – really think about that.
Looking after your erection muscle – in the perineum
However the area of concern is your perineum that we need to protect – as I’m sure you know – this is the name given to the area between your scrotum and anus, as in the picture at top of page, which is actually made up of perhaps the three most important muscles in your body (well, there the most important when we’re engaged in some wild sex!) as they’re the muscles that push blood into your penis to make it harder and more erect.
Sitting with a lot of pressure on these muscles of your perineum for long periods of time can restrict blood flow – and consequently, may, not be the best thing for them in the long term, which can, but not always go on to in time effect erection quality.
Here’s some ideas to ensure you keep your perineum (erection muscle) healthy whilst still enjoying all the benefits to be gained from biking:
- If I’m on my bike for a long time, every 10 minutes I’ll stand up on my pedals for 20 seconds to a minute to allow unrestricted blood flow back into my perineum.
- If you feel strain or pressure on your perineum when cycling try rotating your hips to adjust pressure points to other areas.
- try and minimise the weight going through your saddle by pushing down into the pedals more – so that you almost raise yourself slightly in the saddle – transferring some weight off your perineum and through your feet instead.
You needn’t do this all the time – just for 30 seconds or so every 10 minutes may relieve pressure or prevent it! Alternatively just build a few breaks into your ride.
Please note this is not prescriptive and many experts have many differing views upon this, I base my viewpoint upon medical experience in the operating theatre – where I know the problems of tourniquets and restricted blood flow – as opposed to the sports science aspect. So this is just my opinion in the capacity as The Erection Coach to help improve erection quality.
