“The prostate’s location at the center of the groin places this sensitive gland directly over the narrow section (known as the ‘nose’ or ‘horn’) of conventional bicycle seats (saddles) and there’s a lot of downward pressure bearing down over such a small area.
Prostate cancer causal link or not, this perineal stress between the anus and penis can aggravate prostate inflammation (prostatitis) from other causes, may cause numbness, incontinence and even temporary erectile dysfunction whilst older cyclists with benign prostate enlargement may suffer increasingly severe symptoms.
In essence, reducing pressure on the perineum or groin area can only be a good thing.”
