Misread the title of the other post which made me think of this question.

I, as a male, have had multiple women ask me how we ride bikes without smashing our balls.

How DO we ride bikes without smashing our balls?

[–] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 5 months ago

The fear of being smashed makes them retract into their safety zone

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

What do you mean ? Left ball on left pedal, right ball on right pedal

[–] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Exactly, and I just throw my dick over my left shoulder so it doesn’t get tangled up in the chain.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

What if your dick is the chain ?

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

First comment to get a cringe out of me as I thought of the spiky pedals. Congrats

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 15 points 5 months ago

We do smash our balls, in fact. That's why cyclist pants have balls protection.

I dunno about you, but my ass is on the seat, and the package generally stays above my legs relative to the seat.

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 months ago

Depends on the kind of seat too. If they're thinner ones it's harder to avoid, especially if you're leaning forwards. It's not hard with normal wider seats for me, the actual reason I have a seat cushion for my bike is to protect my ass when the terrain is rough.

tuck em in our waistband

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Forget bikes. How do you guys use the rowing machine comfortably?

[–] Felipe@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

Lean back a little and keep your thighs parted.

Am I the only one that can still put the beans over the frank?

Edit: I'm 40 btw.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

There's something about that phrase...
