Numb Nuts to You

Post by billhay4 »

C-boaters, having a little difficulty getting it up? Can't go the distance? You sex life reduced to fond memories of past conquests? Finding fantasy better than reality?
Have I got a cure? NO! Have I got a possible explanation? Yes.
We all know what woozzies bicyclists are, now don't we? And we all know why. The lycra-clad yuppies (to quote a letter in the Roanoke Times some years ago from a woman who was threatening to run bicyclists off the road rather than give way to them), have had their necessaries pounded into usefullness by the hard saddles they sit on.
Yes, c-boaters, saddles. Hmm, strike a bell? You betcha.
The June 28, 2011, New York Times offers an article (here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/28/scien ... sts&st=cse) on the subject that paddlers of the single-bladed persuasion might pay attention to.
Turns out, it's the front the bicycle that is at fault because it transfers ones weight from the pelvis to the (gasp!) crotch. This can decrease ones “percent of time erect”, cause numb-nuttedness, tingling, and other unnatural sensations. No data on sperm count, sexual attractiveness, etc. was given but one can extrapolate.
The solution? A cupped bicycle seat that cups the buttocks, but has no nose.
Now, I personally have never suffered any of these issues. Just like I have never suffered any knee stiffness, ankle pain, difficulty walking down to scout a Class V rapid, numbness of the legs, or loss of appeal to women. And, of course, neither have you, I know.
But, surely there must be some woozzies out there (former c-boaters all) who have suffered from the design of c-boat saddles. And surely they must realize the validity of this article (it IS the New York Times, after all). And surely they must be getting to work as we speak to design a new saddle incorporating butt massages and personal freedom. Get to work, Larry.

Where is Jay Not Elvis when you need him for that pix of his specially outfit saddle system?

Anyway... watching the Tour De France and the local MB & down hill racing crowd I really doubt one can call out cyclists.... I think I'd huck a lung at about 10% of the effort. Just say'n.

But then again Jay's saddle solves that issue and is often reveiwed by yak'ers at the put in / take out... usually stating "We heard it was true but never thought....gosh darn"!

I dont know what kind of saddles your using billyboy but mine doesnt have a silicon modification on it like yours may have. I suggest you remove the modification, then perhaps you may experience some 'combat freedom'

and besides...some of us have more steel.

:evil: ESS is no joke folks... and it is quite common amongst Cboaters!!! :evil:

these poor fellows had the same problem... once the large cockpit (pun intended) kayaks and ultra-stretchy sprayskirts (kilts) were introduced they could comfortably sit down again to enjoy boating. of course using a pair of paddle blades helps to compensate for the extra weight mass centered inside the boat.

currently I'm working on a solution for these disabled folks to get back into c-boating... can't say much but an appropriate sling and multiple bungee cords is incorporated.

if this is a serious post... my apologies.

Well, this was a semi-serious post written in a non-serious manner. I see that it flew over the head of many members. I am not surprised, or even offended. Pleased would be the word. What do you expect from this crowd?
In fact, saddle design in c-boats is primitive (as are c-boaters), and probably does result in damage to both male and female anatomy. It hasn't been determined yet how exactly it affects the head, but it certainly seems to do just that.
