What aMull said.
Wide <> better
I have ridden quite a few different saddles and have not noticed any issue in that regard.
All of my saddles are somewhat narrow road saddles.

I had a $80 version of the Body Geometry saddle (right). I hated it, watse of money. Another cutout model Terry Fly worked great for me right out of the box., Everyone is different. My case, been riding for 13 years and after a ride, I've got a woody no matter what saddle I use!
To me the easy solution was to change the saddle.

I have tried soooo many saddles in my life, cheap ones, expensive ones, narrow, wide, soft, hard, gel, channeled, etc.
Haven't found one I'm entirely happy with (yet), only a few that I can tolerate.
Bicycle saddles safe for sex life? How can sitting on one's testicles be considered utterly safe...

I've had the one on the right for 2 1/2 years, and that's not what's keeping me from riding farther. No numbness either.

Personally I dont think either of those saddles is stable for 2 people to be having sex on. I reccomend a banana seat if thats your intentions

Maybe, but I'd prefer a companion of the opposite sex....
As other posts have said, soft saddles generally don't do well. They may feel good in the shop, but after half an hour, they're miserable. If that's a Body Geometry (too lazy to go back and look), I won one of those at an organized ride and hated it. The padding was so soft I compressed it against the plastic shell; in half an hour I was in actual pain. I gave it away.

The Drive Side is Within
I have the one on the right. It's not so great. The cheap saddle that came on my cheap fuji hybrid is more comfortable, and it also looks like the one on the left.

Cheap Saddles are like Cheap Hookers. Neither will last you very long, and both will leave you with a rash.

If it's sexual function you're worried about then the only saddle for you is one with no horn.
