Julie* and Dan met at university while they were pursuing their graduate degrees, and were married after two years of dating.  They spent three years touring South America, and returned to Canada as work opportunities came up for both of them. They were successful in their careers and decided to postpone their plan to have children until they were financially well-established. Five years into their marriage they agreed it was time to start a family.  They were looking forward to raising children together. After trying and not conceiving for six months they consulted Julie’s physician, who referred her to an ObGyn. A few months and numerous tests later, they received the news that Julie was not ovulating regularly, which explained why they were not conceiving.

Caught between a love of riding and a disrupted sex life? The latest bike seats might ease the pressure, but shop around.

WHEN urologist Dr. Irwin Goldstein declared in 1997: "There are only two kinds of male cyclists — those who are impotent and those who will be impotent," many bike riders scoffed. Saying the equipment housed in their spandex shorts worked just fine, they optimistically kept riding. Several prominent urologists dismissed Goldstein's claims, saying that they were based on a small sample of riders and that the cardiovascular benefits of cycling outweighed any risk of impotence.

Ten years later, more than two dozen published studies, including several by Goldstein, have confirmed the connection between cycling and sexual dysfunction. Problems can range from impotence — the complete inability to penetrate — to an erection that doesn't last as long as desired.
