[#372209]

When climbing (and only when climbing) even minor gradients, I suffer from a lack of circulation to the wedding tackle - to the point where I have no feeling whatsoever.

Obviously my seating position seems to be pressing on my perinium and cutting off the blood supply. My saddle isn't note high and I'm using a WTB Pure V with love groove.

Any clues how to solve this, or what saddle might be better. I can handle numb tackle for 10 minutes on a ride and I'm not wanting more kids - however, I don't want any future problems getting a 'rise'.

raise the "heel" of the saddle, if that doesnt help you may be better off with a firmer saddle, swapping from a bel air RL to a Ti-Fly has made many improvements to my riding and my comfort, odd but true!

As above, or stand for a bit every so often to relieve the pressure

Maybe you aren't meant to ride slotted saddles, I can't ride any of them because i have one leg longer than the other and i have to ride, half-arsed, so to speak.
