OKAY!!  Here it is...PHOTOS ATTACHED:
    
When I first started riding two years ago, I rushed out to buy
an Athletic Supporter!  Imagine my children's consternation
(and Grandchildren, and GREATGRANDCHILDREN) to find
me becoming a "jock" at age 66!!

I tried three different models, and none were comfortable for
long rides.  I finally bought a pair of TIGHTS, and wear jockey
underwear with them.  To my surprise, I find that FEMALES
admire MALES in tights. Unfortunately, I lost so much weight
riding, the gals in our club only gave me an "EIGHT"!

For those who missed the "Male Comfort" thread last year,
a woman in San Diego suggested "GELDING"! (We REALLY
wondered about HER)!!

Another woman suggested VIAGRA (get everything up out of
the way).  I have a cheap HMO....when I asked them for VIAGRA
they gave me a tongue depressor and some duct tape.

I DID find that after taking lessons to be lighter in the saddle, the
problem did not seem as severe. I'm not sure whether the "Family
Jewels" got numb or I did become lighter in the saddle. I suspect
it's 50/50.

We did a three hour conditioning ride today (the snow is FINALLY
melting) and I wondered if any male EVER fathered a child on the
night following a 100 mile endurance ride.

P.S. Sorry about the photos. I remenbered that RIDECAMP cannot
handle them.
