Most saddle are shaped front to back shape for a reason. The rear of a saddle should be higher...still level....than the center to relieve any pressure off the perenium. This why Brooks saddles have a slight concavity to their center.

OP if you position your sit bones in the slumped center section, the nose of the saddle will torture the nerve that runs along your perenium.
HTH.
