Had mine done 8 years ago this coming January.
I took 15mg of Tranxene, drove myself the 80 miles to the clinic, watched em prep me, tape the fun stick to my stomach, had to make the doc raise my head so's I could witness him clipping the second cord. The wife had her head laid on the table I was laying on so she wouldn't pass out....lol!
Not much pain, not until about two hours afterward, when I got home. And the pain wasn't THAT bad....Advil 800mg and I was fine, that and an ice pack.
Back to work the next day, with just some minor discomfort from time to time over the next week. Kinda like, if I moved too fast or too rough, it felt like I had bumped the jewels against something, but nothing drastic or agonizing.
Suck it up, get it done.
No decrease in my libido (to the disappointment of the wife) or functionality.
I did get to kid her alot about having a popup flag inserted to say "BANG!" since all I was doing anymore was shooting blanks.........
