All good points. I'd add that this is primarily a problem with relatively new cyclists and is often the result of having too much weight on the saddle and not enough on the pedals. As you get stronger, you'll put more force into the pedals and that will decrease the amount of weight on the saddle. In the meantime, consider shorter rides of greater intensity.
Those delicate nerves and blood vessels located behind your "tool" shouldn't be squished under your full body load. The blood vessels can actually become permanently compressed with unfortunate consequences.
