I can sit up indefinitely without any numbness issues, but that's not exactly a good compromise. I'm going to keep trying. I'm going to hold out hope for a saddle that doesn't cause a tingle in my dingle.
Have you ever tried a Selle Italia Superflow? I demo'd one a few years ago, the shape is pretty close to a Toupe but it has a much larger cutout, may help with the numbness-
