I'd have to remove my saddle all together to keep it from hitting my stuff and I don't have big stuff. Tilting the nose down prevents a rider from putting any weight on his saddle and thus his stuff, so it makes sense but... Although I do get out of the saddle frequently, my arms and legs are not strong enough to carry all my weight all the time. My saddle is set up to carry my weight on my sit bones and not on my stuff. Are you riding in boxer shorts? Jockey shorts would be better and bike shorts best for keeping your stuff from getting between your (m)ass and your saddle.

Unless you are unique anatomically, you probably will not be best served with a unique saddle tilt.

Your saddle tilt is not an unusual choice for inexperienced riders, but very unusual for experienced riders. Think about it. You may have found a better way to ride, but probably not.
