First of all, forget the embarrassment! If you can't talk about it here, where can you talk about it? I can't imagine a guy saying, "It's a bit embarrasing to know that maybe you're a bit bigger ..." Right. Anyway.

Definitely try a variety of saddles. Some wonderful LBSes allow you to exchange saddles as long as they're not scuffed; call around and see if you can find a place like this.

My particular problem was getting smooshed "up front" -- if the ride wasn't technical enough (mountain biking) to keep my body moving, I would get pain and numbness in everything near the mons pubis. A new saddle helped a bit, but this year I've noticed that it's gone away. I credit it to my chiro's contribution to my improved posture. When I had my bike fit, they had a lot of things to say about proper biking position that might help ...

Good luck! I strongly believe there's a saddle out there that, combined with proper position, will let you ride without that kind of pain.
