When carrying AIWB does anyone ever worry about the fact the gun is aiming at your junk or femoral artery? I like the idea of Appendix Carry but something about a loaded gun aimed at my junk is unsettling.

Had similar concerns, and finally made the jump into AIWB a few months ago.
I'm currently carry two different Glocks, in two different holsters. A good gun belt is mandatory, and I've since changed to another belt that is a little more AIWB friendly (clasp can be rotated thru belt loops to ensure proper position with minimal belt overlap, if any at all).
I'm a pretty small guy, 5'6" and sub-160lbs. While I can carry my G23, the G43 is much smaller, slimmer, and more comfortable. I carry regularly while riding a motorcycle and surprisingly its the most comfortable holster/method I use for riding... outside of open carry of course.
Get comfortable with your setup, and unlike many that have recommended work arounds like putting the weapon in the holster, then adding the combo to your belt.... I'd recommend you start to train with it, even if unloaded at the start. It didn't take long for me to feel comfortable after some practice, now I draw regularly with a loaded weapon no concern about what might happen. Sound fundamentals, are sound fundamentals.
