Please show us a side view pic of the saddle position.

My wife had a similar issue, (crotch pain) though she rides a cruiser. We went through several seats, but wound up back with the stock saddle and leaning it back just a bit.

She had been wanting to lean it forward, thinking that would bring the nose of the saddle out of contact with her crotch, but it was causing her to actually slide forward, which was then causing her clothes to grind into the crotch.

Padded cycling shorts help a lot, you probably know this.

My wife refuses to not wear underwear under the cycling shorts, which causes some discomfort; more fabric to absorb sweat and grind up in there.
