I'm not sure if it's related, but a few years ago, I had achy balls. It took quite a long time for me to correlate it with the cause, because the aching came a day after riding one particular bike of mine. My doctor told me to switch to a saddle with a cutout. I didn't follow his advice. I switched to a harder saddle. I had been riding a saddle with more padding than usual for me. It came to me cheap. The saddle wasn't causing any discomfort while riding. So sometimes, too soft is bad.
