male troubles

[DeepSandwich]

For a new unicycling male, what advice can be given for taking care of the very obvious problem. :rolleyes:

I've been riding for about 6 months and havnt really figured out what to do.

There's an animation for this problem somewhere on the internet; I know someone on the forums knows where to find it.

Keep them to their individual sides, well away from the weight on the seat. Takes some getting used to.

Well there you go!

Well there you go!
Yeah. Hope it helps 6 months of riding without figuring that out sounds painful!:eek:

The answer is to wear tight underwear or even better tight lycra padded cycling shorts (don't worry you can wear something else over the top).

Anything dangling around is a recipe for disaster, as long as everything is held firmly in place (as in the very helpful diagram above) you shouldn't have any problems.

u could get a seat that has a larger slant so that the front of the seat is higher so your weight is on your butt instead for your crotch, like mine

I highly recommend these, they're basically your best option. The extra padding helps with saddle soreness as well.

Grab yourself a handful of ball, then move those suckers to the front of your seat where you will not sit on them. It is invigorating.

Perhaps you should ask your mom.

Personally, I recommend grabbing both of them.

Shaving it would itch like crazy, hurt like hell as it grows back, and be dangerous to your scrotum's safety. Trimming it works well, I find.

Lucky for you there are hedge trimmers designed just for such delicate shaving. The Philips Norelco Bodygroom (http://www.shaveeverywhere.com/) being the one with the best internet advertising. There are other similar contraptions as well.

It's actually not nearly as bad as you would think. As long as you take it slow there wont be any itchy razor burn. As far as hurting when it grows back there is only a day or two period where you can even notice that its growing back down there and it certainly doesn't hurt.

Cycling shorts help a little too.

[john_childs]

Cycling shorts help a little too.
A little secret that doesn't often get mentioned cause guys just don't talk about such things. Cyclists do shave down there to remove hairs that can get uncomfortably tugged while cycling. Unicyclists have the same issue and should do the same. But shhhh... don't talk about it.

I find a battery acid dip melts most hairs and only has minimal excruciating pain.
