For me, even a millimeter of adjustment is noticeable.

It's best to start with the nose a little too low. If you feel like you're sliding down then pull over to the side of the road, raise the nose a hair and get back on. Repeat until you find the sweet spot. I can get conformable on any size or shape of saddle as long as it isn't super narrow. I personally prefer the feel of curved ones but that's irrelevant to anyone else.
I have done that already, to the point where I do feel as if I'm sliding forward. Especially if sitting in an upright (no hands, resting while coasting) position.

It's not crotch or "taint" pain I'm getting. It's very close to the sit bones, but a bit more forward and in.
