OK, I really don't know how to ask this question gracefully, so I'll just ask: If I ride more than 30 minutes in just about ANY saddle I've tried (from very old, to very new, from gel to foam, cut-out or no cut-out), my penis goes numb. If I ride for 60+ minutes, I also get some lingering discomfort in the perineal area. Maybe this qualifies as TMI, but my question is simple:

Has anybody experienced such problems and found that a broken-in Brooks B17 to be the answer? Reason I'm asking is because a bike I'm considering comes with one of these Brooks saddles and I wonderin' if any of you have an happy-ending (no pun intended ) Brooks stories to share. Thanks.
