Denise, the Vitesse _is_ a women's saddle, although they now make a men's version, I think. Apparently a lot of men liked it- you can read reviews on it and the men are all saying "so what if I like a women's saddle..." Anyway, that's my favorite saddle of all time, an old one, not one with gel. I finally got BF on it (who's on the eternal perfect saddle quest) and he HATED it. That might have been because I have it sloped uphill a little bit, though. A couple saddles before that, though, I had a cut out saddle. The edges of the cutout rubbed me raw! I hated it.

Star, if you have a saddle with a pretty narrow nose, you can set your sensitive bits on one side or the other of the nose, and not have pressure on anything. It only takes a very slight adjustment. Your sit bones stay in the same place.
