Default Which way, left or right.

This is serious, maybe not a problem for everyone but certainly for some. To which side do you place your weiner when riding?

I mean, this becomes a serious issue when faced with comfort and trying to reduce numbness. Have you ever needed to pee when that puppy is numb?

I find that if I leave it alone, it migrates to the middle, not good. What is a guy to do?

No clear solutions here, but, oh so many, many questions.

Why did you make us all think about this most instinctive of decisions?
How can someone else's solution work for you?
Are you right or left handed?
Why is it still numb when you're ready to pee?
What makes you think you can stop "migration"?
Are you concerned about aerodynamics?

Sorry, I couldn't help it. I know it can be a serious problem. Ok, I may have one answer. I don't think numbness is a result of your wiener (or Polska Kielbasa in some cases) being on any side, but of sitting on your perineum or perineal nerve for prolonged periods. Get up off the saddle periodically and/or look into getting a different saddle.

Yes, to be discreet (this is an open forum after all), I think you should look into a new saddle with a cutout in the middle of it. That will most likely solve your problem.

My primary concern would be addressing the numbness. The solution for me was an Avocet O2 saddle, but any saddle with a recessed center is well worth trying.
