I also have no discomfort after long rides (2-3 hours). No nothing at all if the ride is under an hour. If it's over 3 hours, I need to stop to stretch once in a while, or I'll be sore. While I'm sitting on the saddle, sometimes I feel my pelvic area to be a little compressed and it's not super comfy but then my thoughts move on to something else and it's fine. If I've ridden for four hours on a given day, there's only a light chance that I'll be intersested in sex later that day or night, though! Although I get used to the long rides, too. It's all about TITS - time in the saddle - for me. I seem to be lucky to have a great saddle + fit.
I would say it's COMMON for women to hurt somewhere after riding, but I wouldn't say it's NORMAL. In other words, I expect it, but will try to fix something on the bike (or my posture) if it happens.
