Unfortunately no. In fact there are barely any saddles available here. Whatever I choose I will have to import it myself.

I had a similar problem last year since I was trying to ride in the drops more. A little downward tilt and a short nose saddle (w/ cut out) solve that issue.
That's what I read too, so today I have tilted down my prologo NDR CPC Tirox short nose saddle with cut out by a degree and also turned my bars a bit lower to stretch my body out a bit more. I will need to do a couple of rides to see the effect of it. I think most of my weight is on my sit bones but still my perineum is getting pressured with some weight.
