I've been riding seriously for a little over two years, and I've always had trouble going numb on any rides longer than 20 miles. I shrugged off the problem and continued to ride until I developed a partial loss of sensitivity in the top-side of the shaft of my penis. Fortunately, it doesn't affect intercourse too much but it's really freaking me out and I need some advice.

Has anyone here lost feeling in their penis for an extended period of time (longer than a couple days, perhaps months or years even)? What did you do about it? Did your sensitivity fully return after a long break from the bike?

My former boss told me that he had a lot of issues with numbness when he was younger and had to take several years off the bike. Riding is one of my greatest pleasures in life and I'm dreading taking a hiatus.

*PLEASE REFRAIN FROM SADDLE SUGGESTIONS. I've tried more than I care to count, and it's not a saddle or fit issue - I go numb even sitting in a chair for too long.
