Episiotomy

I would appreciate advice/information from woman who have had an episiotomy during delivery, or Obstetricians who have extensive experience in this area. I need answers to the following questions:

1) Which is more painful to recover from between a tear and a deliberate cut? I understand a cut is easier for doctors to repair, but that a tear may heal better and be less painful. 2) Do you physically/anatomically return to normal after having had one? 3) Do you loose sexual feeling and if so how long does this usually last? 4) What are the risks of forcpes/ventouse delivery with an episiotomy? 5) If I had an epidural anaesthesia would a be at higher risk of having an episiotomy?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. I posted the email on elective c-sections and now I am trying to weigh up the advice/information between VBAC and c-sections.
