Hello Wendy,
Other than a little numbness on very long rides (or if the saddle is not slightly tipped forward), as a male, I don't derive any sensation from a bike saddle (other than sore sit bones). Over the years 2 female acquaintences have confided in me that they experienced significant discomfort from friction towards the front of the saddle (even when it was tipped forward) which could last for several days after a long ride. They were both very happy to hear about the latest (at that time) female specific saddles with a hole in the base or all the way through the saddle at the front.

I have a question: Is there any person who claims, or will admit, that riding on a bike saddle is personally sexually exciting for him or her ? ie: Is this a figment of a cleric's imagination, or is this actually true for some people??
(Or, am I missing out on something?!)
