For last several months I do spinning almost every day. I have a Echelon bike at home now as well as a nice road bike I go out on. My problem is this. Whenever I bike for almost any length of time over 10 mins my penis goes numb every time. I've tried to position it different ways I've tried different seats and shorts. How do guys with above average penis when soft deal with this? Anyone?

Male sure you're buying good quality bike shorts with a good chamois pad. You may have to experiment with a couple saddles til you find the one that works best.
You'll probably find that as you ride more your body will adapt and get accustomed to the pressure.
Another tip is to stand on the pedals periodically to relieve the pressure and let blood flow.

Buy a different seat immediately before you damage anything :eek:

My bf had this problem and it got to where we couldn't even do any longer bike rides :(
He remedied it by buying a more flexible saddle with a big cutout in the middle like this, and the numbness problem went away:

Bike fit, ergonomics and your riding position are all super important. I had problems with my hands hurting and going totally numb after 30 minutes and that was solved with just some minor adjustments in my riding position and new grips :)

A bike fit by a professional can do wonders!

Same man, I have had the same problem with a new road bike I got in quarantine. I have changed the saddle and that seems to help a little. But if I go on long rides my balls get numb.

If your penis goes numb after just 10 min, there is a serious issue with your saddle. As already said, buying a more flexible saddle with a big cutout in the middle like the picture who was sent.
This is not a problem with your cock. I own myself a way above average cock, with big balls as well. Indeed you have to choose the right cycling short to remain all that stuff in place, but your problem is more a seat issue…
take it seriously. Numbness is an alert sent to you by the body. Do not continue this way.

If your road bike is adjusted correctly and your riding form is good, you should actually be putting very little weight on the seat. It's like you hover 1 mm above the seat at all times.

Spinning is a different matter as it is difficult to keep your weight off the seat.

I used to ride 200 miles weekly and have done several century rides, so I have some idea what I am talking about .

I found the thinner seats to be better that the wider ones, paired with good cycling shorts and standing up every 15-20 mins helps!
I also made the conscious effort to have better posture when riding, with a straighter back and leaning on my arms to distribute my weight evenly.
