I wear a cup? *

no wearing cups is evil.. when i ride to football which is no more than
a half of a mile.. it hurts from the cup.. jus nicely ajust yourself
before sitting on the seat

First try bike shorts, if that doesn't work for you then you may want to
check out ''The Champion Suspensory' at jock international'
(http://www.internationaljock.com/zpage13-8504.html). (They aren't
pretty but they work.)

a lot of people are posting some 'nice comments'
(http://tinyurl.com/87s92) about 'gel seats'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=823)

Your first step should be to get a pair of cycling shorts. Ideally you'd
want a pair of 'BibShorts'
(http://www.bicyclinghub.com/bicyclinghub/sacxbibshprc.html).

What kind of riding do you do?

Beyond the seat any cycling shorts, I suggest that you take very short
breaks. When we Coker, every few minutes (5 min) we all make a point to
lift out of the saddle while riding. Keep the blood flowing to all
parts of your body.

As far as distance goes, I rode 65 miles on saturday, and 30 on sunday,
using a standard Fusion seat. I dismounted and took a break about every
10 miles.
On saturday, my main discomfort was from going completely numb in that
area, which started about 10 minutes into the ride, and pretty much just
didn't let up except for the breaks I took, though it occured again as
soon as I started riding.

That evening, I moved the seat all the way back, so more of my weight
would be on the wider part, with the front sticking up so it looked like
it would be more painful. But, I also carved out a large hole in the
foam where my parts could rest.
I didn't go numb at all on Sunday, but not everything fit quite right in
the hole I'd carved, pinching me a bit on the edge of the saddle (the
edge of the hole), so now I'm dealing with some very painful blisters.
Overall, not really an improvement, but I think it could be with a bit
more work and design.

And don't make the mistake of wearing anything under your bike shorts.

To prevent confusion: for that you need to move the seat FORWARD.
