I don't think the lean has all that much to do with it since I get
the same effect whether I am on my old Huffy MTB or my Schwinn
super sport road racer type. Two totally different saddles and
positions. Lean might make it worse but I don't think it is the
only cause.

As I understand things, part of the penis is inside the body under the
crotch area, so leaning forward on your boys is not necessary for the
problem to occur.

If you have not purchased cycling shorts yet, do so! I pushed my purchase
for 3 months
because I did not want to spend 50$ on cycling clothing... then I decided to
do a 250 KM ride
and decided to make the purchase.... they make a HUGE difference in comfort.
A good split saddle is great too, if you have both I doubt you will ever
have any pain after.
