I was having the same problem. Bought a new saddle and that did not help. Called the saddle manufacturer and they suggested lowering the saddle and using the fit chart that came with the saddle (read the instructions!). The manufacturers fit chart indicated I needed to lower the saddle over one inch from what the lbs had set up. Next ride was a thing of joy. I did get a bit of numbness after over an hour riding, but it went away after a short time standing on the pedals. I also got better shorts with a bit less padding and I can now ride for two hours or more with no numbness. You can also tilt your seat nose down and that will help the perineum but will put more weight on your hands.
