Motorbike riders risk impotence-SMH

[Bob]

Bikers are more likely to have problems in the bed department, according to new research by a Japanese team.

Studies already claim that cyclists face an increased risk of impotence – and the team of doctors in Osaka now claim that motorbike riders are “likely to share the same problem”. The doctors claim it is because pressure and vibration from the saddle reduces the blood supply to their genitals.

Of the bikers tested, 69 per cent of riders had erectile dysfunction compared with 35per cent in the control group. The older the biker, the worse the problem, with more than nine out of 10 over-50s showing signs of impotence.

[StoneChucker]

hahaha - eat it suckers, my arm doesn't work and I don't have a bike, but at least I won't be impotent like you wankers (or not wankers as the case may be) :lol: [pt]

Wonder if they came up with any preventative measures??

Bet they rode harleys.
























Or GSXRs:dodge:

[Bob]

By the way, did anyone notice the unintentional irony of the numbers affected?

Sixty-Nine per cent!

[Lou Girardin]

I'm glad I'm the ONE, tough for the other nine.

[kickingzebra]

they say theres a reason girls like horse riding, that might have less to do with the cute animals, and more to do with the saddles...

Ain't nothing beats that V twin rumble!

[Croft]

ooooh.... NOT good news!!! You poor buggers!

[WRT]

Actually, try them on a 2 stroke MX bike. I own a RSV-R and a CR250, and I know which one the missus gets more of a, err, "pleasurable ride" out of. Works a treat actually . . . for when I want a "pleasurable ride" of my own ;)

[McJim]

I can concur - I was a racing cyclist and mountainbiker for a couple of decades before I got a motorbike and I can tell you it's bad. I can barely manage 7 or 8 times a day now.:violin:

Yeah, NSR used to have that effect too now that I think about it...


ooooh.... NOT good news!!! You poor buggers!

All the more reason to practice those stand up wheelies ;)

Yes officer, I have a doctors certificate allowing me to do standups to avoid killing off my oh so valuable sperm!!

[Blackbird]

Bob doesn't present the details of the study but I think you'll find that the sexual dysfunction is confined to GSX-R riders. Willy-waving is common among this sector and in fact, one of them actually called his bike a penis extension in a post this week so I rest my case.

Trolling, moi?

[sunhuntin]

hmmm, my old man had this problem. he was in the over-50s and had been on bikes since his teens.



but....it was nothing a good ol suck couldnt fix!!!

[stunz]

nothing wrong with my impotence. Its in great shape!

[Korea]

I seem to have the reverse problem...

The vibrations give you a constant hardon?

I am very worried as to why and how you know that....

But for god's sake don't tell us.

Bahaha :P I was wondering...

[Hillbilly]

Nah! They were all Japs!! The bikes have nothing to do with it! It's been absolutely proven beyond any doubt that all that Soy Sauce and Tofu causes impotence. The reason - Soyabeans are loaded with chemicals called phytoestrogens! Drop the "phyto" and you see why I don't eat Tofu, Tempeh, or anything that's got Soya in it! ;)

There seems to be alot of intellectual impotence here, so there must be something to it.

Some may have come... before they went...

What a load of bollocks. Ive been riding since I was 8 and had no trouble getting one past the goalie. Its probably done to try to put ppl off riding due to the amount of injured riders that go thru the healthcare system.

I mean if what you say (above) is true regarding the lack of intellectual err 'wood' is true (and I'm certainly not arguing!), then by definition surely those people could be termed 'tossers'.....therefore implying that they have no difficulty in getting the old feller up to perform their favourite past time.

The only two things I can think of that would dispute this argument is that
a) You can masturbate without getting a 'woodie' (ladies excluded of course...)
or b) A lot of these people don't actually ride bikes....

SUFFER in your jocks, bikers. Yes, that means you, you wussy Hell's Angel.
And you, Bandido boy. The secret's out. You aren't just overweight, smelly,
middle-aged drug dealers with more tattoos than teeth. You are soft in the
pants department - and quite probably bedwetters, as well.

And guess what? These afflictions are caused by riding motorcycles.

That's right, a new study has found that men who ride them risk impotence
and urinary problems because the engine vibration damages nerves in their
penises.

A survey of more than 230 motorcyclists who ride for about three hours every
weekend found that almost 70 per cent had problems getting an erection or
emptying their bladders.

The news is alarming for Victorian men who have turned to motorcycles and
scooters in the past few years to beat rising fuel prices and growing
traffic congestion.

Doctors in Japan, who published two studies on the dangers in the
Inter-national Journal of Impotence Research, said most motorcycle seats put
undue pressure on the area between the anus and the scrotum, cutting blood
flow to the penis.

Vibrations from the engine also caused a decrease in two growth hormones in
the bladder and prostate related to bladder relaxation.

Impotence affects most males during their lives and can be caused by
emotional issues, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, high blood
pressure, smoking or alcohol.

But all men should avoid sitting too long on hard bicycle or motorcycle
seats, particularly ones with thin, pointed ends, to prevent compression of
pelvic floor muscles, Impotence Australia chief executive Brett McCann said
yesterday.

About 76 per cent of riders aged 40 to 49, and 93 per cent of those aged 50
to 59, reported severe erectile dysfunction, compared with 37 per cent and
42 per cent respectively among those who did not ride motorcycles.

John Sbrocchi has been riding a scooter to work for 2 years. His sex life
had not suffered.

Scooters normally have wider, softer seats than motorcycles, but vibrations
can still affect the genitals.

"I do have urinary flow issues, but I'm not putting it down to the scooter,"
Mr Sbrocchi said.

"I'm a man of 62 and when you get to that age you get prostate problems.

"I think scooters are one of life's greatest innovations - so it would take
more than that to put me off."

Most seats are too hard.

[slofox]

NO probs so far dudes.....hehehe

[Jerry74]

I just went for a pee and I'm ok

[jrandom]

You should see what cycling does.

[gammaguy]

so if your bike has no vibrations at all like mine does,does this IMPROVE circulation to the genitals??

i reckon it does,cos i was riding today and made a real dick of myself:clap:

[Ixion]

Ride standing up. Sorted.

[pritch]

You should see what cycling does.

That was my reaction. If they think motorbike seats are hard they should try a racing bike seat.... They give new meaning to the phrase "numb nuts" :whistle:

But when you get off the bike and the pins and needles come, woo hoo indeed!:woohoo:

[Jerry74]

Shit, there always seems to be some new study on how our body is buggered.

Stuff the politicians and scientists lets just enjoy life.

The study was carried out by doctors in Japan and found most motorcycle seats put undue pressure on the perineum, that unknown area between the anus and the scrotum. The pressure can restrict blood flow to the rider's todger, which in turn causes problems when asked to stand to attention. The study also revealed vibrations from the engine caused a decrease in two growth hormones in the bladder and prostate related to bladder relaxation. Smoking and alcohol are also known causes of impotence, which coupled with today's findings, makes the late Barry Sheene's antics even more admirable.

i'm sure those people got a bunch of older bike riders , that smoke and drink like crazy and drew conclusions from that.


Never heard one biker complain about that on a ride. Actually most people I know get a hard on from just seeing their bike (excludes the girls).


I'll specially ask on the next ride.

Look I hate to state the bleeding obvious but a self reported survey of 230 motorcyclists means diddly squat. Are these all blokes over the age of 50 riding their cruisers over the weekend?

Could be that the fact that they are over 50 with an enlarged prostate means they would have urinary problems regardless of any motorcycle riding. But why let lack of scientific study and proper research methods stop the release of a report letting us know about this serious issue? :wacko:

I have to agree with you mate, After going for my 1st ride on a harley(my uncles) afew months ago i fully get why chicks ride harleys, 3rd gear for sure, hehehehehe,

As for the horses well they are nice to look at in the paddock as ya crz by, bugger actually getting on one,lol

I just have trouble remembering what to do with it.:blink:

[davebullet]

Ah, so that's why most bikes have a pillion seat? Not for a passenger, but for the rider to sit on, providing as much vibration (read erection killing) protection as possible....

I wonder if the majority of bikes in the study were twins or 4 pots. I suspect the erection problems are less with 4 cylinder machines, since they have less vibration and more "stroke"

Bikers are more likely to have problems in the bed department, according to new research by a Japanese team.

Studies already claim that cyclists face an increased risk of impotence – and the team of doctors in Osaka now claim that motorbike riders are “likely to share the same problem”. The doctors claim it is because pressure and vibration from the saddle reduces the blood supply to their genitals.

Of the bikers tested, 69 per cent of riders had erectile dysfunction compared with 35per cent in the control group. The older the biker, the worse the problem, with more than nine out of 10 over-50s showing signs of impotence.

That's okay. Girls we'll just have to find ourselves toyboys rather than sugar daddys mwahahahahahahaha
