Default For the lads; protection for your manhood down there when riding?

hey guys,

So not been riding for that long before my off just under a month ago. I would say i was one of the more cautious riders out there in terms of protective gear. Always rode with full leathers, boots and even bought myself a back protector. I understand that you cant really expect to protect everything in an accident, but i learnt the hard way that i overlooked something important.

As i flew off my bike my balls dented the tank. Down theres still not 100% and gonna see a specialist wen back from holiday. Also the guy who deliverd me my bike back said he knew someone who had to have all his manhood down there removed cos it was so bad. Apparently its not that uncommon an injury.

So the obvious thing would be to wear a cup, but i read somewhere that if u were to hit your tank with a cup on you would do some serious hurt to your pubic bone.

So just wondering if theres any specialist biking groinal protection out there? Any one here protect that region in any way?

I dont think im gonna feel comfortable on a bike til i have some sort of protection down there. Either that or if i dont have time to fix my sv i'll just get me a bike where the fuel tank isnt so 'up' so you'd just fly over it!

Dont wanna rule out having kids...actually never mind that...dont wana lose anything down there at any point in my life!

Just wondering what your guys thoughts are about this issue!
Thanks
