Make sure your saddle is wide enough so that you sit bones are taking your weight, not the soft tissues between the scrotum and rectum.
I paid a lot of attention to how I was sitting after I noticed the numbness and I agree - I have a tendency to scoot up onto my perineum instead of sitting back on the seat (which has a cutout). I think I've found the correct spot to sit on now and I've been making a conscious effort to redistribute my weight, but time will tell. I just want everything back to normal right now
