Believe it or not, bicycling is a type of sport that can ultimately have a negative impact on the condition of a man’s sexual health. The reason behind this is that there are many men that do not take the necessary time that is needed to select the specific type and style of a bike that fits their body correctly, and one that is better suited for good sexual health. As reported in the online Urology Journal BJU International, and written by a surgeon and urology consultant by the name of Vinod Nargund, bicycling is the type of sport that can cause excess pressure on the blood vessels and the nerves that affects the sperm count of the sperm count of male individuals. Other problems that he states bicycling can cause include difficulty in achieving an erection because of the heat that is generated during cycling and a restriction in normal blood flow.

Each one of these problems can ultimately affect erections and the overall condition of a male’s sexual health. Out of all cyclists however, those that are at the highest risk for problems of sexual health would be individuals that pedal with too much resistance and mountain bikers.
