I used to be an avid cyclist, thought nothing of riding 20-30 miles per day. Back then saddles were not as good as today and I had issues with Penile numbness when riding. It didn't take long to fade away after finishing a ride. I also had an STD in early 20's Chlamydia I think it was. I also had a couple bad prostate infections. I've always wondered if any or all of these might have contributed to my PC.

@im62at2024 I think a lot of those ideas have fallen out of favor, but they are always dredging up something or other.
They used to think that the STD Trichomoniasis caused it, but that has been debunked.
I get the whole bike riding thing - pressure, decreased circulation, etc., but for it to cause actual cancer I don’t think the studies support that idea…until one day they do🤷‍♂️
