Riding? Or Sex?

Found this article in the January 09 issue of 'Two Wheels' mag here in Australia, thought it might interest some riders.

"Now that we have your attention, according to a story in the Sydney Morning Herald by medical reporter, Kate Benson, men who ride motorcycles are at risk of impotence and urinary problems because the vibration of the engine damages nerves in their penises. A survey of more than 250 motorcyclists who rode their bikes for about three hours every weekend found almost 70 per cent had problems gaining an erection or emptying their bladders.
Doctors in Japan, who published two studies on the dangers in the International Journal Of Impotence Research, said seats on most motorcycles put undue pressure on the perineum and restricted blood flow to the penis. Vibrations from the engine also caused a decrease in two growth hormones in the bladder and prostate related to bladder relaxation.
At least we can take comfort in the knowledge that motorcycling is better than sex anyway."

Questions I would like to ask is what age groups were these 250 motorcyclists?
Are the vibrations due to riding a Ducati, Harley or Jap bike?

I will leave this in your ball court!
 
I would think that the angle of the seat on the new superbikes would pose a greater risk than the vibration. You almost need to wear a cup on these bikes!!
 
I just always leave my cell phone on vibrate and have people call me when I'm riding. The two vibrations cancel each other out, making my potential love making age much higher. Take that educated Japanese professor.

How does a study like this come up. A bunch of Asian professors siting around drinking sake. One looks at the other and says: "I have a great idea. Let's get like 250 men to ride bikes in front of us naked and talk about their penises. We will call it like a study or something"

Thanks InfiniteKingdom for your comments, almost fell over my pet dog, as I was laughing so much!
 
im going to ride more now just to prevent me from having kids... i hate kids.... i hated my self when i was a kid. and i think MRS. cheese would like it if i laid off her just a lil bit.
 
"Two Wheels" - No wonder that magazine is going down the crapper. Geez they're scraping the bottom of the barrel now.
Ducati riders should be fine anyway because these bikes don't vibrate - they throb like a sock full of frogs.
