On long rides Dutch seats tend to cut bloodflow to the fémoral biceps ...
And you can buy stub nose saddles that let your ball sack dangle in the breeze.
I use a SMP with a downward « beak » that has the same effect.
There are a wide variety from leather, to gel right up to a plank of carbon fibre, and if you lube, it’s much nicer.
As you seem to rather uniformed, bike now have gears, brakes and pneumatic tires amongst other things.

uniformed?
my opinion about pudendal artery compression and the influence of bycycle seat noses is backed up by a little something called research.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4690354/
www.health.harvard.edu/blog/biking-and-sex-avoid-the-vicious-cycle-201209145290. I'm aware of alternative seat designs, my dutch seat has a snub nose, but crucially you do not see any pro racers using them, hence my original post about why I avoid racing as a sport.
your evidence-free blather about "dutch seats cut bloodflow in fémoral biceps " is either know-nothings crapping on in cycling forums or more likely speculation you've just pulled out of your own arse. Unless of course you can point me towards a paper that might support you? No? Pity
Always happy to teach the ignorant, son

This is perfect
we haven't had a good cycling argument on here in ages.

N=20?
Completely conclusive. You have irrefutable evidence there. No one need ever look into this again.
"A little something called research". You bellend.

"oooh look at me, I have a limited understanding of sample size " - that's what you sound like
that was merely one study, I found 20 in five seconds, all on the same subject, all supporting my opinion about pudendal artery and nerve compression, which you could have too if you actually understood modern research tools. E.g.
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1600-0404.1997.tb00104.x

By contrast, Research papers talking about femoral bicep blood flow and seat compression: 0
I often wonder why people bother arguing with me. In the end it makes them look foolish. It would be much better for everyone if people just agreed with my erudition from the outset
