How cycling can reduce a woman's sexual enjoyment (unless you raise the handlebars)

Women who cycle regularly are at risk of decreased sensation in the pelvic region, a new study has showed.
Scientists at Yale University found that female cyclists may experience less pleasure during sex if the handlebars of their bike are lower than the seat.
They learned that a low handlebar position puts extra pressure on nerves and blood vessels, or neuropathies, in the genital area.

The study reported that modifying a bicycle's setup by raising its handlebars 'helps alleviate neuropathies' in females.
The findings, which were published in the Journal Of Sexual Medicine, were based on analysis of 48 women who each rode at least ten miles per week, four weeks per month.
Researchers had each participant mount their own bike on a stationary machine.
They were asked to speak out if they experienced 'soreness, tingling and other sensations'.
Sensation in the woman's pelvic floor was then measured by a researcher using a pressure map.
Genital sensation was 'measured in microns using biosthesiometry measures of vibratory thresholds'.
The study explained: 'Handlebars positioned lower than the saddle correlated with increased perineum saddle pressures and decreased anterior vaginal and left labial genital sensation.
