Have you been fit for the bike? Also, you should just try a different saddle where you're actually using your sit bones...and cycling shorts if you're not currently using them. All of that will make all the difference....

^^ this. These things should help quite a bit.
When bike training, focus on anchoring your sit bones to the saddle. This not only helps with power but should also provide a more comfortable experience.
Next post, we'll talk about cures for chafing!
Body Glide, dude! I used it to help with inner thigh chub rub and it was amazing.
this works for chafing, but it sounds like the nerve was pinched to me...0 -
OP post a video or a picture3

Has this happened to anyone? Years ago I used to workout 2 hours a day and this never happened. What do you think is going on?
Why hasn't anyone said the obvious yet?1 -

For cycling a chamois cream like Assos or Chamois Butt'r is going to work better than Body Glide

I misunderstood - I saw the "cures for chafing" and was like OMG I KNOW JUST THE THING. Talk about jumping the gun

Hi, feminist here.
"Trigger warning" is for things like rape, death, eating disorders, suicide, and so forth. "Trigger", fwiw, meaning they can trigger traumatic flashbacks, panic attacks, an urge to harm themselves, etc. They can be very individual and often unique to a certain person (I had a friend who was triggered by music from a particular band because their rapist played it all the time), but generally it's not appropriate to use "trigger warning" as a synonym for anything other than its intended meaning.
You don't post "trigger warning" for a penis. I appreciate your intent, but in the future it would be more appropriate to post something like, perhaps "NSFW" (I'm surprised my work computer didn't block this post due to it having mention of genitals) or "personal question" or something.
I guess I need a trigger Warning everytime I hear about baseball, husband/marriage, or sleep. My cousin was murdered in 2001 by her husband, in her sleep, with an Easton Baseball bat....
Oh wait... I'm not expecting everyone to cater to me and my feelings.
We're adults.... Act like it. Or stay in your safe space and off the Internet.
I'm so sorry. I'm just going to delete this thread. Here if you want to talk. Sorry, again.0 -

Maybe there's a ghost on your bike seat.0 -
If you're not circumcised, it could be due to tightness in your clothing, combined with the motion on a bike. My husband is not and sometimes complains of a pinching sensation if his underwear is too tight, especially with physical activity.0

The mostly unisex saddles on indoor bikes are often awful and put pressure on your nerves - hence temporary loss of feeling or pins and needles.
I use a really expensive indoor trainer in my gym but the saddle must have been designed by a man hater!
Cycle shorts are a man's best friend best friend.
Also get off the saddle every ten minutes or so with some standing cycling.0 -
I'm confused about what this would be triggering. Can't help you OP though, sorry. I've never had that.
Some might find it a sensitive topic:

Because we'd get warnings with points?0 -

This is my understanding of the proper use of 'trigger warning' as well - you beat me to it.1 -
Are you circumcised ?0

lol "some feminist" and "the triggering".... I watch so many funny videos based on that whole mess and omg I laugh so hard. But that's beside the point lol.
I'm an egalitarian, married, and know me some male anatomy. and the whole thing about having the correct type of bicycle seat is right on. A lot of men *and* women sustain genital injury by bicycle seats that aren't right for their anatomy. 1 -
My tip, bicycle shorts!! LOL0

Don't give up on cycling, get yourself to a good bike shop that knows how to fit you to your bike. You may need a new seat, or you may just need some adjustments to your fit.1

Its penisitus, sorry OP your days as a man are numbered...
Actually it's just slightoss of circulation and nothing to worry about it.0 -
This thread is the best thing I've read all day. Granted I've only been up for an hour and a half. But considering I'm studying for a test regarding the State and Federal funding for Statewide transportation my standards are quite low but I'll effing take it.4

Brooks makes a great saddle that helps with Perineum issues. That is exactly what that is... Perineum issues.
We do need the special seat for extended rides... Or at least a proper saddle. Guy issues0 -

I really don't understand what the problem is. Wouldn't this be a reason to do more workouts of this nature???0
