No, that is a completely separate issue. If your butt hurts after a ride, just riding more (well, not that day, but I mean going on more rides) can help, though it's hard to say - sometimes you need a better saddle, sometimes you need to just break your butt in. When I used to not ride over the winter, my but would hurt the first few rides every year, but then would be fine after that.

But if you're experience pain or numbness in "sensitive areas", more riding isn't going to help. Your butt has breakin, and is designed to have weight on it. Other...more sensitive, soft tissue areas are not.
