A long ride with a badly adjusted saddle may cause issues. I remember my first 200km ride caused me "comfort" issues that lasted a couple of days, but when I tweaked the saddle everything was fine.

If you're having gentlemanly issues several days after riding it might be worth seeing the doctor to make sure you haven't done more permanent damage.
I think it's time to take a trip to my local bike store and get the seat adjusted properly because I truly do not have the know-how in this department. I'll be off the bike for three days straight this weekend, so hopefully that makes an appreciable difference.
