I remember the great furor in the bike world very well. Before Pavelka came out, all bike saddles were either flat or rounded on top. Today, most saddles have a groove or cutout in the center. There's a reason for this. Many of us owe our ability to continue cycling to Ed Pavelka and his brave candor.

Statistically it's true that cycling improves bedroom performance. However statistics don't show the minority who have been damaged. It just happens that even more people are damaged by really crappy lifestyles.
Focusing and critisising her for making her kids infertile though is a little off the rocker.. instead, if the person was concerned, they could have emailed her and discussed the issue, or maybe relayed personal experience. In my mind, the person who wrote the article was just out to sensationalise.

At any rate, the fix is simple, buy a holey saddle or tilt it down a bit.
