I haven't logged too many miles yet, but have had no pain at all. The review I read highly recommend it for both men and women particularly to pervent the soft-tissue pain. Good luck.
I swear by the Selle SMP saddles, which are similar. Weird-looking and I get comments (especially on my bright green one!), but after trying at least a dozen cheaper saddles -- that were varying degrees of not great or even really horrific -- I decided to suck it up and try an SMP (Drakon) and couldn't be happier. I have a total of 4 SMP saddles now, depending upon bike.
