Judith, I assume that the "don't understand" comment is yours.  The reason
the seat is the problem is as follows:
When the seat angle is incorrect, and the front is slanted "up", the seat
presses on the area of the prostate, damage to which can cause permanent
sexual disfunction.  Also the seat can press on the nerves in the pelvic
area, causing from numbness to total lack of feeling which can last several
days. Generally this effect will only occur after riding many continuous
hours.

                                                                                
                                                Been there, done that, have the
