Old thread, but a mix of saddle position, saddle height, and saddle type. Sometimes playing with the tilt of your bars, too. And grips can make a huge difference.
My city ebike has a mid stock saddle, but after moving it back and adjusting the tilt so that it's like a 1 degree decline, it helps make it a lot more comfortable (male).
My mountain bike had a terrible stock saddle that made my groin fall asleep. I switched to a saddle from these guys:

Which is rock hard, but has good scalloping for my bones and blood flow. So even though it isn't plush, I can ride it for ages or back to back days without going numb in an hour. Granted, you aren't on the saddle much for downhill, but it's great for earning your turns on singletrack with lots of uphill.
