After three weeks with the Standard, I'm noticing a huge improvement. I rode for more than four years with a narrow road bike style saddle, including the B17 narrow, and noticed some issues in the last ten months or so. Since I switched to the wider saddle, the discomfort I was feeling is gone. I was afraid the wider saddle with restrict thigh movement, but it doesn't. As to the pain I was having: Is it possible that at 57 I was just having a prostate issue? Perhaps it's enlarged?
