Scrotum Woes -or- My Sack is Whack
I'm back to riding after a somewhat prolonged layoff (I've always been a yo yo rider). Nothing has changed as far as setup, equipment or shorts, yet I'm finding great annoyance from the nose of my saddle protruding into the posterior region of my, um, tea bag. This has never been an issue before, but it's becoming one now.
Suggestions?

Are you wearing cycling shorts? If not, that's your problem. If you are, you gotta get yer hand in there and pull them boys forward.

Been having the same issue lately. Nothing changed in the set up, but I think maybe I've altered my position on the seat a bit.

You might consider tipping your saddle a couple degrees forward.

a half a degree to one degree. that is plenty. if there's still pain, time for a new saddle. our asses change, especially after time off the bike.

Check for a crack in the last (base) of the saddle. They do fail from time to time.
Flip your bike upside down and have a good poke around in there. I've had this happen to me and suffered for ages before figuring it out.

Obligatory HTFU post
On A serious nite I'm new to biking and have developed issues in this region. Almost like a pinched nerve

However, I would never tell someone to HTFU when it comes to their manhood.
Guys, don't put your future health at risk by taking discomfort of the genitals lightly.
