During and after rides. Does this happen to anyone else?

Try a dick freindly saddle, or at least change the saddle angle.

Although it feels a little creepy discussing this as we are in mixed company - I'll try to be PC.

I notice that if I'm wearing lycra and it is cool out - and - 'things' are not tucked down away - it will get numb - likely due to cool breezes. So - tuck it down. Also, try baggy shorts that give more room and protection from the chilly breezes. Lastly, take breaks for 2 minutes every 20-30 minutes to get circulation back into the region. Roll back on your tailbones as you are climbing to facilitate blood flow - and yes - get a saddle with a 'love channel'. If none of that works - take up softball:)
Don't stay seated too long - stand up periodically (nm)kanaka
