Unicycling bad for testicles?
I unicycle almost every day, and sometimes after a little bit of riding it starts to hurt my balls. I use a Nimbus gel saddle. Is unicycling known to be bad for your testicles?

Good question!!
It sometimes hurts my balls too, but today i went and bought myself some cheap, padded cycle shorts from aldi (£7) to wear under my jeans and i've just got back from a 9 mile journey on my 20" and not feeling any pain or soreness whatsoever  They seem to hold everything out of the way a bit so give them a go

I've never met a unicyclist who really had any balls.

I had mine surgically modified so that they could be easily removed before riding. It gives a whole new meaning to losing you marbles

If your balls are hurting then you're sitting on the saddle wrong. Balls in front! and there should not be problems from normal riding.

I rode a nimbus gel saddle last year and found it to be less than ideal. The newer KH saddles are MUCH nicer. on the rare "land on em" moments, the extra padding is nice.

If you have a KH saddle you can trim the foam for a better fit. Also look at your saddle angle, might be able to adjust the front up and get some relief, seat height may be too high... Oh, and what short you wear, that can affect wear the "marbles" lay

I like duct tape, but if I don't do my manscaping on a regular basis, well, lets just so it bring tears to my eyes when I have to unmask

I have both the Nimbus Gel and the KH seats. I have to say the KH seat is sooo much more comfortable for the "boyz".
I also wear Bike shorts with the chamois, and it makes a huge difference
