You're not alone. This is common for some, not all. I have had this same issue many different times on different bikes for several years. I'm 52, mostly wear briefs. I have spoken with my doctor and nothing is wrong.
I have found it's a prostate and testicle placement seat positioning thing. Find the right seat and sitting position and I can enjoy the ride.
On my HD I'm OK, because of the seat and riding position with my butt back, feet forward. On all sport bikes (I've owned several) I'm not OK (feet back, leaning too forward into my groin). On the CB1100, feet centered, directly underneath my groin, I'm OK when positioned correctly. However, I'm now convinced I need to replace the stock seat or add a seat pad as I'm leaning a little to forward and with seat contact areas it's painful for me after about 30 to 45 minutes.
In my research I've found an interesting solution such as the Airhawk R. Looks like this can be a big help. Something I'm going to try very soon!! Reference YouTube, Airhawk R Reviews, Revzilla & Competition Access for some great info.
Good on you for the post. Most wouldn't talk about it!
