Is there really no connection?

The issue there is not chafing, it is all of your man parts "going to sleep". There is a nerve in the "t'iant" area. If you are a heavier rider, you cheeks split and you ride on the perinium.
There is nothing quite like finding out your junk is numb. Usually you can shift and it helps, but the real solution is a seat that contacts your butt, not the inner area.
One of the guys at work, while we were training for the 2008 MS150, was doing his first 50+ mile ride. His junk went numb, but he didn't stop. He caused some nerve damage, cause it didn't wake up for 5 days!!! He was freaking out. Talk abut erectile disfunction. Oh, and yes, this can lead to ED.
