This isn’t between my legs. It’s more where my butt cheeks start and a little on the peritoneum.

Saddle position

If I have my saddle too far back could it cause pressure on my perineum? I started having chafing and I’m not sure if it’s my saddle, my bibs or me having ridden a stationary bike at my gym.
