Viagra maybe? Maybe you need a thicker saddlebase although this may cause more weight . Professional MTBs usually have saddles that easily split your nages in two probably because , their designed more to be gripped by your thighs if you have to raise the front wheel.
My suggestion to you would be to get padded shorts or trousers

what are your wearing? when you ride your bike.

See no problem in that,

could it be your shorts - try baggier ones

lycra with pad, sometines trakkies over the top, makes no difference

Are the shorts actually any good? What model are they?

In another thread you have running here you say that you are 18 stone, most saddles probably have not enough padding in them for you.

I'm only just under 10 stone and my saddle sometimes feels a bit thin on the padding stakes.

I found also when I came from a rigid bike to a full susser the lower regions were not getting a good blood flow, reason was when you don't have any suspension you spend more time out of the saddle.

Might be an idea to contact some of the saddle manufacturers see what they have to say.

angle the seat forward slightly but only slightly, takes the pressure off, and will stop the numbness

It`ll improve your stamina no end, might get 3 minutes instead of 30 seconds

I had a similar issue when I initially started cycling again. Because I wasn't used to it, I'd spend the entire ride on the saddle, just spinning my legs around because I was too exhausted to stand.

Now I'm fractionally fitter I tend to move around more, plus I get bored easily so I'll often be off the saddle trying to to manuals or bunnyhops or just tooling around for 5 mins.

Those little breaks allow the old chap to breath again, post ride recovery is a lot quicker.
