>How hard is it to tolerate the pain after the op?
VERY hard...
I had a circ 12 days ago, and the first week was bad. Just a drop of water hitting the glans while I was in the shower would cause me to yell Auuch!!!.
Now I can gently wash the glans, but it is still very sensitive. Sensitivity should be 'normal' after 4 weeks, as far as I have heard.
As owen wrote in his reply, get some tight fitting underwear. Keeping everything in place helps a lot.
I used to wear 2 pairs of tights at night for the first week, because otherwise I would wake up because of the pain when I got erections.

>I heard from someone here that Vitamin E helps with it?
Heard the same, haven't tried it yet, so I would also like to know....

>How long til I can have sex after the op? I've read anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks.
You might make it in 4 weeks, but I have also heard that it could take up to 6 weeks for the swelling to go away.

Good luck, with the circ and your 'stuff' :)
