One interesting thing they brought up during the PCRI conference this last weekend was that riding a bike does a lot of damage to the ability to get erections. Apparently, the pointed bike seat that has very narrow sides is the reason for the problem. It’s the side of the seat that does the most damage.

The doctor mentioned that getting a wide seat can resolve the problem.

Riding as far as you are talking about with a narrow seat is what causes the problem.

This is whether or not you’ve had surgery or radiation.

Thanks Jeff, that is good information. I have a fairly wide, cushioned gel bicycle seat and wear cushioned bicycle shorts as well. I will keep your suggestions in mind. My RO advised I could bicycle as long as I wasn't getting any perineal discomfort.
