If it would be cut off with scissors would the man die soon or survive a long time?

He would likely die, very soon.
There was the case in Germany of a homosexual man who volunteered to be ********* by another man. The other man used a kitchen knife to shear off his penis. The two then ate it, and the eunuch died shortly thereafter. It is estimated that less than 25% of the castrations in medeival Europe, and southwest Asia survived more than a few days. Severe urinary tract infections are also common, and possibly even fatal.
That is one reason why this should be fantasy only.
