I always knew there was a reason why I hated spin class.
A new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that riding a bike can in fact affect how much female riders enjoy sex.
The culprit of this nasty news is the heinous handlebar!
The study found that setting your handlebar lower than the seat increases pressure and decreases sensation in the genital area. - Ouch.
The more pressure there is to a woman's genitals the more likely you are to get nerve damage down there-hence reducing your ability to feel any good vibrations ( in your female friend area).
Researcher Marsha K. Guess said in a release about the study Monday, " ""Chronic insult to the genital nerves from increased saddle pressures could potentially result in sexual dysfunction."
So what do you do if you just bought a new class package at SoulCycle?!
Experts say all you need to do is make sure you re-position your handlebars higher so your sitting more upright which puts more pressure on your your sit bones instead of your ever-important genital tissues.
And a word to those male readers out there- past research has also shown that cycling for men could cause erectile dysfunction- Cycle with Caution.
