casual encounters on craigslist is the way to go

I don't think you really meant what you wrote here...

Pro Phil Gaimon had this issue until he changed his saddle, see here ....

If it's bike related, it has to do with your seat, its position, etc. When I first started riding in 2009, my first long day in the saddle of 30sh miles I almost scrapped the whole biking thing... I was numb for a day or two.

After jumping on Google, I adjusted my seat position a little and problem solved. Your saddle and how it is positioned are pretty important.

If it's an actual medical thing... better consult a doctor.

Hmm, sounds more like CL therapeutic services section.

That video is hilarious!!! I would guess that most of us here in the U.S. have never seen any of the "Vaseline Warriors" videos. Thanks!!!

"Anyone can be who they want to be IF they have the HUNGER and the DRIVE."

I'm just going to throw this out there because I have never heard of anyone else experiencing this......

Preamble: Sex is pretty darn important to me. I like to have sex a lot and try to let my wife know this.....

Years ago, I started taking fish oil tablets. I didn't make the connection but at around the same time my libido went away entirely. I didn't want to have sex and didn't seem to have an erection like I usually would. My wife actually thought I must be having an affair. Eventually we talked about it, like married couples should, and I told her that it wasn't that I didn't find her desirable any more it was just that I didn't have the drive to have sex. It was my wife that suggested that maybe it was the fish oil pills. I thought this was crazy but I stopped taking them and within about 72 hours, things were pretty much back to normal. It was so dramatic that I was completely convinced that it was the fish oil.

Needless to say, years later, that bottle of bulk fish oil pills sits in my closet with about 75% unused. I can't guarantee that they were the problem but I'm not willing to experiment with them again to see. If someone wants some fish oil pills I can mail you the bottle.....

This is just a strange way of saying that lots of things can affect your drive. When I was really pushing the IM training my sex drive dropped off a bit but never to the point that I could not perform when the opportunity presented itself.

None of the secrets of success will work unless you do.

How has this thread gotten this far without an obvious "perhaps you should get off of Slowtwitch, it might help" statement?

Christ, this place is getting soft.

Now that we've gotten the jokes aside - 1.) new saddle, pronto and 2.) make an appointment with the PCP to start with.

Stop watching porn. Worked for me.

i already mentioned the importance of fat for sex hormone creation but seems people skimmed over my post. btw instead of fish oil, just eat some fatty fish! mackeral, sardines... the fat will be less oxidized/damaged as the processing process does to get them to pill form AND get your protein all in 1 shot

Stanford is doing a study on cycling and sexual dysfunction: http://med.stanford.edu/cycle.html

Regarding the cut-out saddles, in a quick search, I couldn't find any directly measuring blood flow and saddle effects.

But, if you look at the anatomy of where the arteries to provide bloodflow are, they are parallel to the ischial spines (your sit bones) so some saddles with a cut-out can actually worsen the problem, if they decrease the total surface area on which your weight is distributed. Imagine if you cut out the center, then your weight per square inch of surface may be higher on the sides, potentially medial to the ischial spines, cutting off blood flow. Since some people might consider a penile anatomy illustration NSFW, I'll just put a link to an image that shows this, found with google: https://plasticsurgerykey.com/...05-9781437717334.jpg

Try vitamin d3. 5000 IU a day.

I will need to see pics of your wife/girlfriend before I can render an opinion.

My guess is it happened once for whatever reason and now its on your mind.

Its becomes a mental game.

If you ever wake up with a boner the there is nothing wrong physically and most likely mental.

Good luck keeping your boner!

There is also a chance your just not that into the person your bonering

As for most training questions on slow twitch the answer is: HTFU

If he could do that, he wouldn't have posted in the first place.

I have to admit I'm experiencing similar problems, but not in quite the same way.

I'm 38 and last did a IM in 2015. During the IM training I was single, (does help with the training load!) and tbh felt like a raging stallion at times. Full morning glory, Yep I admit I did look at porn and there were a handful of one time things! Felt generally horny around attractive ladies. All seemed OK.

But since going back to a more sedentary lifestyle. (The odd run here, or ride the bike instead of take the car to the shops). I've noticed that I don't feel anywhere near as horny and earlier this year I had a "failure to launch" with a lady who was utterly gorgeous, and very adventurous! :( Dropped porn for a month (fapstronaut ;) ) No real difference!

I'm maybe 6-7kg more (re fat) than when training and racing, but I'm not drinking at all. Eating more or less the same as I was back then. I read that low testosterone or maybe low thyroid could be a cause.But I had a blood test for something unrelated a while back and they didn't mention anything to me (but they may not have checked specifically)


Maybe it's not the OPs saddle at all.

Seriously.....

Quitting porn or quitting "liquidating the inventory"? There's a difference.
