It seems like many report that an anatomically correct bicycle seat works wonders for seat pain while others say it didn't help. I think a lot might have to do with the fit and adjustment as it doesn't matter what kind of seat you put on your bicycle, if it's not installed and adjusted correctly then it can cause pain, tingling and numbness. for some, yep.

I have had a problem with numbness in my groin area for quite a while that was hard to solve. I tried a number of different seats and I used to have a comfortable Serfas seat with a cutout then went to a lightweight Fizik Aliante (no problems). I got a new bike with a Fizik Arione and it made me numb almost instantly no matter how I adjusted it. My wife was using my old seat and she wouldn't give up the Alliante so I got a new one (numb again). I then sent through about 7 different seats with not luck until purchasing a Selle SMP that has a cutout. For anyone with problems it's a godsend. If you don't need it be thankful but make sure you are cautious if you are experiencing tingling or numbness down there because it can be serious in some cases. That’s the claim.
