Health problems with exercise bike?

Hi, I am 20 year old male. Today I began riding an exercise bike, and I rode on it for half an hour. Afterwards, when I finished and got off my 'crotch' area really hurted. It wasn't too painful. I don't know what it's called- the prostate or the groin, it hurt quite a lot. And my penis was numb and tingly, like when you don't have any blood in your leg and you lose feeling in it? That was the same for my penis, it was just very numb. For my 'warm down' I walked it off, after a while the blood came back to my penis and I wasn't numb again. I stretched and warmed down. Then I lived my day, and went to sleep, I have just woken up and my crotch/prostate area (the part behind the testicles, where you sit on the bicycle seat, between the testicles and the bike) is still a bit sore and my penis is a bit tingly still.

My question is: is this normal? should i be worried or concerned? it's not painful just sore and i am sure tomorrow it will be fine, but should i continue riding the exercise bike if this keeps happening?

Thank you for all your help, I am sorry if I couldn't describe my question well :)
 
Very normal. Its just your body adjusting to unknown pressures (pressure on groin area whilst cycling) Like anything else, your body will get used to it in 2 weeks tops.
 
This is very common. Ask the guys who ride bikes on the trail and they will say they have the same problem. The problem is the seat - the bike seat - is too small and it just kinda goes right up the area you described cutting off blood. You will actually damage that are if you continue causing problems with erections. To solve this - get a bigger seat for your bike.
 
you need to adjust your seat and get a more comfortable seat, this happens when you are pressing on the blood supply, just like when you lie on your arm funny
 
this is because of compression of the area for prolonged time.just smoothly massage the area where seat compresses u for some time.and u will be alright
i think bike seat is not comfortable and it is compressing .even ur testicles r caught in between seat and ur body.
make the seat softer by cushion or change the seat.
by the time u read this message or by tommarrow u will be alright.
