Kinda of how your tail hurts before you get use to the seat?
If you're not wearing gloves, get some. If you are, maybe look at some new ones. Core strengthening exercises may help. (Speaking of which, I should do some.) Also make sure your saddle works for you. It may take more than 2 rides to do that, though.
