I stand by my original statement. In this case, elimination of the discomfort seems the best route (probably by avoidance, not by wearing a cup). I've never been HTFU to ignore this particular kind of pain and discomfort...

Castration will eliminate any further worry about pain in the crotchalur areas. This way if you haven't figured out how to anticipate stops and adjust your gearing prior to starting again you're not gonna bang yer boyz up.
Castration. It eliminates worry.
And the need to shave.

A step thru frame will not only remove the top tube/junk contact ,
for all practical purposes.
But, when you do fulfill your biological imperative, and breed a child ,
you won't kick the little bugger in the head, swinging your leg over the child seat.

So yesterday, I was setting off from a stop. My chain wasn't fully engaged on the lower sprocket, and so it slipped off with most of my weight bearing down on the pedal. I lunged forward unexpectedly, falling off my seat, and landing with the top tube in my crotch.
Luckily, I missed any soft tissue, however it freaked my out a bit. So is it prudent to wear a cup to protect your testicles? What precautions should I take to be safe?
thanks!
