it depends... if there is 'crushing' pain, then that is an immediate
kind of problem..haha.. the trick is to get on the seat such that the
front is made to push the jewels up and out of the way, before you sit
on them..
otherwise, if it's just the numbing kind of pain from sitting directly
on that cluster of blood vessels, it can help to change the seat angle
to help put pressure elsewhere. keeping hte seat low enough to allow
'standing' on the pedals to give your crotch a break is important too.
and one can also push down on the nose of the seat while riding to help
keep weight more on the butt.
also, the seat matters a lot. my KH velo saddle is muy comfy, after some
fiddling and getting used to. plenty of comfort for muni or short
cruises. worst case scenario, if even a nice saddle isn't soft enough,
there is the option for an airseat, which allows for the insertion of a
small tire tube into the saddle, which can be filled with air to provide
a very soft type of cushioning.
