Sexologist Andrea Burri regularly explains sex topics in video contributions on 20 Minuten. In the article "Cycling too much can cause the penis to die", Burri focuses on cycling. She explains the positive effects of cycling on the body and psyche and explains that cycling can also cause sexual problems.

Burri says on request by email: "Penis dying off is of course typical media sensationalist hyperbole with which I have nothing to do in that sense". Burri goes on to explain that cycling can cause priapism. These are permanent erections that "must be treated within four hours, otherwise there is a risk of vascular damage and tissue death", Burri clarifies.
