I can't say if you need to take pressure off the prostate and perennial area, but if you want to regardless, check out the Selle SMP TRK saddle:

They make dozens of similar models, with a patented design. Most are lighter, thinner, and more expensive. I heartily disagree with the idea that any modern seat with a groove in it accomplishes the goal. Another model that is wider and works well for me is the Avant:

The SMP Well model was OK, but a little too narrow for me. I am 6'2', 205 lbs, with a 38" waist at the moment, for comparison. On an upright bike I have the TRK Large, on the drop-bar bikes, the TRK Medium. The TRKs come with gel, or without. All my TRKs are gel, but the Avant is not. I think the gel is worth the slight price and weight penalty, when the option is available.

If you are of lighter build and want to try my Well, PM me.
