The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
there are some saddles you know hopefully it'll be a little safer and you know I think that this sort of first was noted probably around the 2000 or so and there is a big redesign in terms of saddles to try and make them a little bit more you know anatomically correct to try and minimize some of this and there's you know cycle fit that can be done or saddle fit rather that can be done at some of the cycling shops to try and you know
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

so you know the way that the saddle is configured ideally all the pressure is put on our iscal tuberosities or our sit bones that's what I'm sitting on now but on the saddle you know there's obviously kind of the rigid nose and if there's too much pressure on that that actually squeezes between the iscal tuberosities where you know the main blood flow to the penis goes and the main nerve Supply is too and so if there's compression on this you get this sort of lack of blood flow or esema and you can get a neuropraxia as well if you crush these nerves
The best seat is uh you know the saddles that are shaped like this are bad for your sitbones because they come into the middle where the arteries and nerves are to the penis. So it's an erection issue. Those aren't good saddles. The saddles with the two little tongs that hold your iliac crest bones with no nose. Y perfect. Right. So it's pressure where the pressure is outside facing leaning in.
