My mom has one of those very gooey Spenco gel saddle covers on one of her bikes, and she loves the thing. Nice and soft. The bike is very comfortable to ride, but, then again, she's not really a singletrack rider as much as one who pedals to the market on Saturday morning to buy fresh flowers and honey.
I do know the feeling of a sore, well, how do we say it? Perineum? You've probably got a more descriptive term for it. . . goes by "sandbar" or "cuttlefish" around here. I haven't got one of the anatomically correct seats that reduce contact with perineum, but am aware of a study in the "Journal of Urology" that suggested that prolonged pressure, prolonged compression, of the area has been linked to erectile dysfunction.
Just something to consider if you're in the market for a new saddle. Take one for a spin before you buy?
