Numb Nuts to You
Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2011 9:36 pm
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.
