Do women get saddle sores?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yes, from what I've heard. Apparently I have a titanium ass, though.

Proper saddle selection goes a long way.

Break in skin + bacteria = potential saddle sore, regardless of sex
