I was just commenting on my own experience - I stand up more on the fixed when going up hills compared to the geared bike where I can sit down for the duration of the same ride.
My saddles fit me pretty well (after some trial and definite errors) but there's plenty of people riding round on saddles that will be causing them problems - one way to alleviate numbness is to stand up every twenty minutes or so.
