Motorbike riders risk impotence-SMH

[The Lone Rider]

Well then.. im doing the world a favor by making my wang less potent

[Reido]

well after a ride im so happy i have somewhere to hang my helmet

tehe

[Balding Eagle]

What a load of bollocks!!! Never had a problem either before or after or anytime for that matter. Even if I did, it wouldn't stop me riding. Jeesh Just do it!!! Too many surveys and opinion polls. Believe in yourself and don't read so much of this BULLSHIT!!!

[tommygun]

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.

Its crap because

1) Aussie Study, done in Japan (No Aussie bloke would ever admit ED to anyone let alone someone in Japan)
2)Smoking and booze are mentioned as known causes, nothing new there and again its about aussie males!
3)Barry Sheene was the "man" of all aussie bike racers (see pre Stoner for the younger readers)
4)Theres plently of proof in the kids walking around today whose "oldman" rode bikes with more vibration and harder seats than todays machines.

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?

[coffeejunkie]

Bullshit, i get a hard on eveytime i get on my bike and everyone man knows why women love riding on Harleys and horses for that matter

Cant you see through the conspiracy? the haters will come up with all types of fear, intimidation, rumour and disinformation to get us off the roads.

Dont be so fucken gullible

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

Well if impotence becomes an issue in the future, I'll just have to put a poster size pic of my bike on the headboard!

Go easy on the guys over 50 Dude!! I have no trouble getting it up after a weekend cruiser.
I just have trouble remembering what to do with it.

[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"

[fizbin]

The bike or her the bike or her the bike the bike???





TROUBLE GETTING one up? A study has revealed men that ride motorcycles are at risk of impotence and urinary problems because the vibration of the engine damages nerves in their penises.

According to the Canberra Times, one of Australia's leading newspapers, a survey of more than 230 motorcyclists who rode their bikes for about three hours every weekend found almost 70 per cent had problems gaining an erection or emptying their bladders.
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.

Ain't that a fact!! I DO to the woman means I DO not do oral, anal or other sex any longer. The man trap worked and is now closed and no longer in business.

My wife often tells me males have no vital organs below the waist.

I have never experienced this. Motorcycle touring has always been a precursor to excellent horizontal folk dancing sessions - and I can pee anywhere. There is a trail of dead shrubbery all over NZ.
