I've ridden some of my nerdy friend's recumbents and it takes getting used to. I'm no expert though. I do see a few people riding them when I'm out on my rides including one guy that cruises at about 23-24mph. I would get a proper fitting on my road bike and see if that helps before going recumbent. I raised and bought a shorter stem a few years ago and it greatly alleviated neck and back pain.

Have they made a better bicycle seat for men?

There are a few really quick guys around here on them. They look like very high dollar recumbents.

There are several things you can do a bike to make it comfortable. Stem length and angle, seat post angle, seat, older components aren’t as adjustable as new and if it’s a road bike bars make a big difference. Even just rotating the bars a bit can make a big difference. Materials the bike and bars are made out of can cause fatigue and strain.
