It is something you get used to, rather your tissue toughens a bit to it, but also take care to have a proper bike fit, saddle, and shorts. I've had several saddles that I simply could not get comfortable on. And $50-100 is a small token to pay for comfort in that delicate area.
My trick to sticking to my commute is putting out all my commuting clothes and gear the night before. I hope it works out well for you.
congrats on the first commute.
