Man, I must say it's disappointing to see so many people sticking their heads in the sand about this issue on this Forum. Folks just want to dismiss the issue out of hand. There's scientific evidence out there. In any case, I stopped cycling about 15 years ago because of penile numbness and the fact that my doctor told me to stop because of a painful prostate issue. That medical condition has resolved itself and I've kept in decent shape for an almost middle aged guy. Granted the NYTimes article wasn't skewed towards cyclists, but was solidly researched. Except for one thing: it didn't specifically address what products are trying to innovate a solution for this very real problem. Here's my list:
Performance Bike E3 Form (designed by Joshua Cohen, who's quoted in the NYTimes)
Selle Strike Series (they're expensive)
Saddleco Flow (reliability and comfort issues, allegedly....)
For a good roundup on the current state of saddles, go here:

As that article points out, this controversy occurs about every 10 years. That is, whenever a scientist invests the time and effort to address the issue of fertility, genital health and bicycling. I for one, am grateful someone is investing time and money to keep me healthy and keep me cycling.
