Default Best seats for riding naked?

Anyone have a recommendation for seats for use with and without shorts?

I'm in the process of deconverting my converted SS bike for use as a geared urban trailer-puller. All the seats I have now make your ass smell funny and leave little pieces or rubber shrapnel in your crack when you don't wear shorts. Since my wife and I will be using it for taking the kids to school and grocery store/beer runs, I'd rather not have to mess around with shorts.

Thanks.

No recommendation on seats...

...but the best beer-run to do naked on a bicycle is breaking into the in-laws' place and raiding the fridge!

I have found that the WTB seats do not leave any funk, or funky lint, in your crack when pedaling in the buff.

Just skip the seat. Make sure you have an Easton seat post though. No chafing or lint!!

How about this one? Might be a little on the heavy side though.
