Comfort and Health

As artists we don’t think of health and comfort as much as we do. Especially if we get in the zone/flow state in a project. Having to do a lot more work lately on my computer and desk, I am always trying to make sure I have a good setup. I don’t like to stay motionless for too long. I have had a stand up desk for about 6 or more years now, but still found that when I had to sit in a normal chair I was uncomfortable after long (and my ADHD kicks in).

Another huge thing men especially don’t think of is the strain on the perineum. (Commonly referred to as the “taint” or “gooch”)

Don’t be a tight ASS! Literally…

For men this can cause erectile issues, prostate issues, urinary issues and more. If you have seen newer bicycle seats that have a nice groove cut out thats to allow the perineum to not be pushed up against and not pushing up on your prostate.

So with all this being said, I bought a seat cushion with that cut out for my car and one for my chairs in my office. I also now added a chair that allows me to sit cross legged.

Save your erections!

This is comfortable to me! I have plenty of options to sit if I like. I bought a knock off version off ebay. I couldn’t justify paying over a grand for the real one.
