It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I'd do more research before buying another, but I doubt a few kilometers on a bike was enough to give you a hemorrhoid... Though it could be from other things. (My doctor actually encouraged bike riding when I got one, as a way to help recover). For hemorrhoids, my doctor recommended fiber supplements, 15 second shits/not camping out, using wipes instead of TP, and ideally getting a bidet. Tangent aside.... ;)
Check where your bones align. I got a seat from SQLabs after I did some rough measurements, and while the seat wasn't incredibly comfortable, it solved my problems with my last seat (my balls were going numb from lack of blood flow due to the OEM seat.)
That's my mountain bike saddle, so I'm not sitting on it as much as a city bike anyways. But I can sit on it for as long as I like without numbness or pain.
For my city ebike, I just adjusted the position of the OEM saddle, and it's pitch until I felt comfortable on my ass bones, my groin, and my wrists and neck. It's a bit further back, and tilted down about a degree.
