Don't even get me started on this. Any halfserious IM-athlete would know about this. Between all the chafing, numbness and fatigue it's a wonder any of us ever get laid. I doubt that triathletes as a group (esp where both partners are tri,s) see to much action...
Numbness or not, I try to live by the "aiming to please" principle. Gf wouldn't let me do triathlons otherwise

Females who ride long distances get to enjoy saddle sores right in the area where they would like to enjoy other things too. I recall a six month period in prepping for an Ironman where I didn't enjoy much of anything. I was one frustrated... so yes I feel sorry for your discomfort but at least you don't have a boyfriend looking at you like you are a piece of steak and he hasn't eaten in weeks.
