I know people do it all the time, all day long and seem to suffer no ill effects.
Some people do; other people can't. Remember that the padding is only part of the reason why people wear bike shorts; another reason (a more important one, at least to me) is to have something next to your skin that doesn't have seams that will chafe you. The saddle will not help you with chafing problems.
