http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=84072&page=2 This article explores the various causes, effects, and remedies of trauma to the perineum, and gives a few fit guidelines, as well as mentioning the Selle SMP saddle and recommending some changes to rider stance on the bicycle, handlebar height, etc.

I have a Selle SMP and love it, done several 60-75milers and a 100 with no todger trouble lol! First thing I noticed about the saddle was that I didn't notice it!!!!1

Try getting your wife to numb it after your ride, that should help.

If you made adjustments immediately before your sportive that would qualify as a mistake as other have said - even a minor change in saddle position can make a big difference in comfort and best to deal with this on a shorter run. It is also worth remembering that it may be just the length of time spent in the saddle causing this and standing up or stopping briefly may solve the problem.
