I thought it was a myth.

I know that you're going to think that I've lost my mind, but on a recent quest to boost my cardio workouts, I signed up for a spin class to help with my calorie burning issues. Since I can't swim well and I'm a shitty runner, I felt that I had few options in the cardio department. I'm really not a big fan of sweating, but I needed a change-up in my Yoga-light regime.

"Get yourself some padded bike shorts or you'll blow-out your crotch" my friend, Susan suggested.

I didn't want to make that kind of investment until I was sure that I liked it.

Well, I liked it...I really liked it. In fact, during my first class I had a Spontaneous Orgasm. Go ahead, make jokes. I'm the one that's smiling. I think that it was something about the increased blood flow to my crotch and the vibrations on the seat as I pedaled to nowhere but whatever the physics were, it got me going.

I think I'll pass on the bike shorts.
