Proprioception is a good word though....I'm gonna start using that
one.

As for the seat, just pull your balls out from under your ass....it's no
hard thing to do. Set them in front like a nice little package. It's
really the most obvious of solutions.

due you dont just plop onto the seat and expect it to be fine... you
must appropriately adjust your pakage before sitting or yes there will
be pain. but if you just adjust and accually wear biker shorts then
youll be fine

wow, even with the proprioception?? that surprises me. usually the
proprioception helps everyone learn to ride.
as for your nutses, you don't sit on them. when you're sitting on a
chair, do you sit on your nuts? nooo, you sit on your BUTT!! which is
what you should do here. but not quite, more like between your butt and
your balls, which I believe is called the gooch if I remember right.

Gooch? It's called your "Chodum" or "Chode" (slang). I've never heard
of a Gooch.

As for the topic, spandex bike shorts do help. They're amazing, because
they support your 'nads. All you do is put the shorts on so that the
crotch is tight to your body, pull your 'nads as high as you can get
them, and let the spandex hold them there.

I was a little wary when i started jumping down stairs and only wore
boxers, but now i wear spandex shorts under a loose-shelled pair of
shorts, and i'm fine.

For more constructive help, please describe the unicycle and saddle you
are using. If possible, look around at places like Unicycle.com for
pictures of similar ones.

It took me way more than 20 hours to figure it out, and look what I was
using!

Grab everything in one hand, hold seat in other hand. Place seat
underneath you, still holding everything with other hand. Sit down, and
let go of everything. 'everything' should be now resting on the front of
the seat, NOT underneath you.

I hang mine over the front of the seat.
I still have problems from time to time, but the "balls bumper" is the
best solution I've found so far.

A quick way to adjust is to pull the seat from behind and, like was
stated before, situate your package out from under your rear.

this is officially the most hilarious post in the forums. it's funny
cause i get this same question from alot of people who try to ride my
uni. and i tell them what you've all said, you just have to adjust
properly. can't stop laughing at the post though. perfectly legitimate
question btw, though interesting over-use of the word balls. try to
switch it up next time.

what you do is you get a bread knife....
(joking)

no, seriously, just get on with one leg and balls on one side and one
leg on the other side. to start with it's a twisting motion to get it
all in posiyion.
after a while riding you won't think about it. it's like playing guitar,
to start with your fingers are sore but get up to standard and you
toughen up

I actually do not use bicycle-shorts or any other fancy kind of
clothing. Normal jeans or baggies do the job for me, as long as I know
that my boxer "keeps it all in place". I think that there are lot of
induvidual preferences here and you just have to find what works for
you.

The trick is simply to either, as said, adjust everything to one side,
or to get it to lie in front of you on the seat. If you just jump on the
unicycle, "it" will be in the wrong place. Things will start to gety
better as your technique increases and soon you will only hurt yourself
this way veru infreqently. I don't think I've hurt my crotch (except
when falling) more than once since Christmas.

I always thought that part of the body was called a "husk." I first knew
about this expression "husk" because I had some friends who had a rock
band up in Albany New York during the early 80's, and they called
themselves "The Husk". When I asked them what it meant, they explained
what a "Husk" was.

They also made it clear that they were referring to the female anatomy,
thus the two circles in their band's logo (see below).
I know, some may think it is vulgar, but I think it is funny to name
your band after such an...interesting part of the body....

Sorry for going so far off topic--I know it has nothing to do with the
important question of where nxixcxk should put his balls.

I always understood that a chode was a reference to a male's anatomy in
the case that it's wider than it is long, i'm guessing that this is a
fairly rare occurence in men that haven't suffered some kindof
industrial accident but 'chodicular' is still a great adjective to use
at will. As for nxixcxk's balls, just hold the saddle slightly
underneath u, rest them up at the front and then sit down behind them,
avoids any kind of manipulation with your hands being necessary, whcih
is always a bonus when riding in a pbulic area.
