Jefrf, how did your research rule out plain old muscle strain?
Jumping on a bike after fifteen years might easily introduce you to a
simple thing like that before you have any trouble with trendy,
accessory-intensive stuff like the pudendal artery. Ask a physician.
I'm just a bicyclist.

My "alternative" is not to put all my weight on the saddle all the
time. The pedals and handle bars carry a lot, too. If I forget and go
a little numb in the seat, I change my weight distribution and ride
happily on.

I've been commuting up to 25 miles one way, riding too many 100-mile
events to count and spending weeks at a time on the bike annually for
a decade with no need for special saddles on my 1993-vintage, 14-
speed Giant Perigee. I'm not quite 5-11 and weigh at least 220
pounds, which is at least 40 pounds more than necessary.
