I've searched high and low for a noseless seat or something that puts no pressure on his prostrate/testicle area and can't find anything in this category that is narrow enough for his little butt. Everything I've seen are wider adult comfort seats. The local bike shops have been zero help on this and have more of a 'suck it up' attitude. We've played with all sorts of seat/handlebar adjustments and can't come up with anything that works well enough to get him enthused again about riding. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I'm with the local bike shop on this one.

Unless a body suffers from a deformity, a noseless saddle is not a solution to any problem. And a noseless saddled introduces other problems.

Bontrager makes a decent saddle, down-sized for youngsters. It might work for a 7 year old:
