I would definitely say it's because you aren't used to riding. When I first got my bike I was constantly scooting around on the seat, but after you ride enough, you will find your own "sweet spots" for different types of riding, and it wont be a problem anymore. The only soreness I still get is in my right hand when riding hard.

I'm a new rider as well..and I always end up skooting all the way up with my nuts against the tank and my legs squezzing that tank for dear life
Rode for an hour that day..my longest ride. My inner thighs were sore for 2 days after that and I got a huge outline of black and blue on my calf the size of a softball..I got no idea where it came from

There is only one correct riding position when fast riding: knees locked into tank so that you don't slide foward when braking. For town riding, I suggest you find what's most comfortable but even then you might need to brake suddenly and if your kness aren't locked in; you ......... brake ......... and smash your nuts on the tank. For me, a relaxed town riding position just means that I don't press very hard on the tank with me knees, but the clinch is there just the same.
