This is a normal post People don't tend to get along with 'hard narrow racing seats' because they're sitting on them wrong.
You don't sit on a road saddle in the same way you'd sit on a BMX/Mountain Bike/Town bike saddle. People are used to sitting on saddles in the same way they sat on a saddle when they learned to ride a bike. Upright. You don't sit upright on a road bike. You're very much in a forward leaning position with a good portion of your weight supported by your arms. The saddle should be placing a lot more support on your perineum than your arse.

This is a normal post you're probably right
but I like to sit upright, survey my surroundings, and I'm usually trying to get to work, not win Le Tour, so the racing saddles aren't for me
