Cycling doesn’t harm male sexual health.

[MrPie]

It compromised my sexual health when I was commuting in shorts and got my bits tangled up in the chainset. Thanks to swift medical intervention I recoverd fairly well, but I now have a ten position indexed erection.

Seriously though (not like me!) I've been very fortunate and never really suffered numb bits or owt like that.

Is that in the big ring or little ring?

Well I should be alright then after 17 years of marriage

I've got a bit more wear and tear in the system than you have, I've been married for 35 years.

I finally got round to reading the paper on this, which I take to be this one:

It does say, sexually, your running and swimming peers suffer much the same, but your urethra doesn't seem to hold its own. Strictures https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/urethra-stenosis being the primary reported issue, and numbness.

It does. Every time I go out for the day on the bike my missus kicks me in the nuts when I get home

It never did me any harm when I was a teenager even though cycling home from my girlfriend's house was always uncomfortable for the first mile or two on a narrow hard plastic 70s saddle.

Cycling never caused me any issues. The 'married gentlemans' operation did. Never again.

Eek. Which thing never again?

The act itself, marriage, operation?

The op !

Fair enough, but I think most people tap out at one.

I have been considering it, having learned my lesson this time round... but now I think I'll just ride my bike until it is no longer an option.

Before the recent BBC report was issued, surely any cautions arrising from previous reports were compensated for by cycling accomplishing basic well known fertility advice such as keeping cool, raising your heartbeat and staying slim.
