There is a guy that I have seen a few times with a backwards saddle. So I asked him about it and he said he wanted a nose-less saddle and tried it and liked it enough he never changed it back. So to the advice above to keep trying until it works is pretty good. I ride more upright and I ride a cheap fat saddle with padding. What I found works for me is a very firm padded saddle, the real spongy ones make too much contact and feel great for a bit but the bigger the contact the more you are stuck to the saddle.
