160mm is definitely on the wider end.... so if you've been on a seat that was too narrow, that can definitely contribute to a lot of pressure/pain up front.

A bike fit done several years ago can be forgotten. You will have changed shape, fitness and age during the intervening years so it's irrelevant. If you're trying now to use the bikefit position prescribed some years ago (when presumably you were fit and riding a lot), then you're probably in too aggressive a/low a position at the front now for your fitness/shape/age at the moment.
The lower the front end goes, the more pressure is put on the soft tissues esp towards the very front of your genitals.
I'd raise the front slightly to take pressure off yourself, then get a few weeks acclimization, then maybe lower the front if you really want to.
Saddles, I'm fine with a typical bloke's saddle on a road bike with drop handlebars, but had a difficult time finding a comfy saddle for my tri-bars time trial bike as the front position is more acute/lower. After several false starts including WTB Rockets, Specialised Jetts and Fizik Rondines, I had a week's free trial of an Adamo Race and loved it so bought one for the tribar bike. It is an acquired taste though, quite hard, hard on the seatbones, and the short nose is wide too, so you definitely need the free trial first to see if it suits you, and you need to set it up according to the saddle-fitting demo at:

Here's a thread all about Adamo saddles from an English timetrialling forum (men and women:

Good luck, I hope you find comfort soon!
