Very little discomfort on the frontal area, but my sit area started getting sore after about 15 miles in the saddle. I will call IMS back on Monday as another option that was mentioned by the tech rep was to go to a shorter and wider seat. He thought that the seat used by most police bikers might also be a great option. Today I will try the SMT on the same ride I did yesterday.
That sounds like your best bet to protect your prostate and perineum area. The sit bones and butt area will get more comfortable as you get used to it and the saddle breaks in. Also make sure your saddle is wide enough - I always had problems with saddles until I used one of those Specialized sit bone pressure testers and found mine are kind of wide, so a 10-15mm wider saddle helps me with comfort all around.
I also stand once in a while, and take breaks at least once an hour, even if just standing over the bike to take a picture, check my map or look at the view. Why be in a hurry?
