    Yep, an aka_kim-ism. For once, I don't deserve the blame.

    This segues into a funny story I read last night from the book "Sand in my Bra," a collection of women's travel stories. The writer was trying to ask for popcorn and used her handy dictionary to translate "pop" and "corn." It didn't work. She found out she was requesting elephant farts. However, isn't an elephant the best place for this activity?

    Ah... not really... maybe its just the length of his ride? Remember, the male bladder is approximately 4 times the size of the female, so maybe he hasn't "emptied" out before the ride, and if he hydrates well on the ride, and rides for a few hours without having "a leak" during the ride, he'll be ready for a visit to the loo!

    As for the sex thing... well saddle sores will make a men feel less sexy, and long rides can make my man tired (my partner does about 5-600 km a week) ... but imho, the sex drive/performance is not affected.

    I remember when he first started riding he talked about numbness in the genital area, but that was to do with saddle fit and disappeared when he got the angle right.

    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    I would think the number of pro cyclists with kids (Hincapie and Basso come to mind) is enough proof for me. My husband rides every chance he can and there doesn't seem to be a problem in this area.

    My husband rides almost as much as I do. Not a problem. After my 600k, I am the one with the "issues"!

    Nope! ANY ride will do it. Even the 45 minute ones!

    Really strange.

    Just chiming in...and in agreement with most everyone. I'm the newbie to cycling, my bf has succeeded in getting me interested in it. Anyway, he logs on about 230-300+ miles a week and I can very confidently say that all the plumbing works perfectly well. The only problems have been when he wasn't dressed warm enough for a ride and came home with a frozen package (so to speak). He was still hurting in that department a couple of hours later (but this is MN cold I'm talking about)...poor guy.
