how come no pressure on the sensitive part when there is no middle indention in the middle of the saddle? and what happen when it get wet from rain and stuff? what is the avg. life span if u dont protect from it the rain? this maybe a deal breaker for me.

You should sit on your sit bones, not on your sensitive parts, especially on a sprung saddle. I use the showercap system to protect from rain plus also to hide it from being stolen.
