Fear not. Before long you will be fine to pursue all your hobbies. I rough ride an atv in some harsh terrain. I also climb into trees to deer hunt. Lift weights. None of this is a problem but dont push yourself and always follow Drs orders.

I am about 10 weeks post surgery..and have a Harley. I ride no problem now. IT does take time to get back on, but you'll be back and riding in no time.

My hobby in retirement is songwriting. I'm getting very positive responses for it a local songwriter night at a cafe, as well as from a few Nashville heavyweights I know. Just lots of compliments, no requests to record any of them. That's okay with me, it's just a fun thing to do. Of course if lightning ever did strike it would be even more fun. You can find a few I've done rough recordings of at soundcloud.com. Do a Search for DaveKellems (note, no spaces and capitalizations). You'll find my singing voice is subpar at best!

I ride a racing enduro bike and was also worried about this issue.
No problem at all... have done extensive rides from 10 weeks post surgery...
Implant has no impact on my riding.

@LeRoastBeef How many times have you come off a bike and smacked your nuts? OK - I can see why an implant may be necessary ...
Motorcycling has not proven a problem: even the most flyweight of bikes have seats that are relatively plush and we don't rely on our sit bones when astride them. Dunno about you, but any time I've come off I've hit hands, arms, shoulders, hips, head. But never injured the wedding tackle. YMMV.
Push-biking has proven a bit more difficult, because usual saddles put enough direct pressure on the scrotum to greatly constrict the ability to lean forward in comfort. Several of us have moved to ISM saddles, that do without the nose. 4000+ miles so far this year they work for me.
