90 degress

---

When I get an erection my penis goes about 90 degrees upwards, and lies parrarell with my stomach, but doens't touch it. I can be bend it flat (away from me) but I've read a few posts about what happens if you strech your penis too far and I am worried in case I have sex and get an injury.I am 16 year old.Is this normal, and what will any girls think when they see it like that?

guys penis' go different directions when erect. Some are strait up, some are strait out. It's totally normal.

It's very common in a younger guy for an erection to point almost straight up and be quite tight against your stomach. As you get older the tendons and ligaments will be stretched from use of the erect penis in sex and your erection will move away from your body and point more straight out. It's all pretty normal. Nothing to be concerned about. It works in all positions.

Just backing up what the last poster said... My erections used to go upwards (while standing). But thanks to my years of self pleasure it aims straight forward while standing now. Still aims up at my head while I'm lying down of course.

Thanks for your replies...

I'm 24, out of puberty, masturbate frequently, and have had sex quite a bit, and mine still points strait up. Is it possible that the blood flow and pressure of the blood being forced in, has a bit to do with it?

I think it does have more to do with the tendons and stuff in there. I think I read somewhere on this site that there is an operation to have some tendon cut so your dick will point down (and look longer because of it). In saying that, my more impressive erections do point higher than my less impressive ones.

You are correct. The angle of the erection is depedent on the length of the suspensitory ligaments that supposrt the penis. The shorter the ligament, the higher the angle.

So...my understanding is that the angle goes down...or the penis points down more as a man gets older. Is that because those ligaments stretch or relax or something?

Yep. And the guys with the big equiptment experience it evn more.

i'm 7.5" and when fully hard mine points almost strait up,I myself think it's more apealing to look like a raging hardon, than pointing strait out
