Angle of your erection?

---

I'm 14, and I'm not gay, but on a dare me and two of my friends got naked and compared our erect penises. This was the only time I ever saw anyone with a boner other than myself, and I was surprised that mine stands almost straight up but one of my friends (fully hard) was like straight out (not pointed up) and my other friend was sort of in-between. Maybe like at a 45 degree angle but definitely not as straight up as mine was.It got me curious if we are all normal or how other guys erections are.

Yes, you're all normal - there's a lot of variation. You and your friends pretty much covered the range, though some guys don't even get as high as straight out. As we get older the angle of erection often decreases - I used to be higher than a 45 degree angle but now it's just a bit above horizontal. It all depends how long the ligaments are, and they can stretch with age.

I never heard on anyone who's erection was perpendicular (pointing straight out) to their body.You guys are normal, don't worry. It also doesn't make you gay to compare and do other things with guys.

I actually am more horizontal on the down slant, haha.So, I guess I just have loose ligaments.XD

You're all normal. There's no "standard normal penis." Some curve up, some stick out, some curve down. Just as length and girth differ, so does curvature(on both axis, mine even points slightly left.)

Yeah, that's normal.And there was a post similar to this a long time ago,and I think they said once you get sexually active and older is straightens out.I sort of had a similar experience,my penis has an angle to it, and my friends is straight outand I felt weird about it.But he doesn't care, and I don't, and girls don'tso it's fine.

just curious - how did the friend with the longest penis react? I'm just curious. and the guy with the shortest. I'm just wondering what it'd be like in that situation.

We weren't doing anything with each other, like touching anyone else's or anything like that. It was prety quick that we were all "exposed", like less than a minute. (We didn't actually "get naked" like I first said. It was warm and none of us had any shirts on. We were talking about things gus talk about and someone mentioned he was "rock hard". Then I said I had a stiff one too, and the third guy said something like, "me too." That's when the dare came up. All we did was stand there and drop our shorts. BOING!! What was really obvious was that I pointed almost straight up and another guy pointed almost straight OUT. I don't think we were all that noticeably different in size. It wasn't obvious, and nobody mentioned anything about someone being small or large. Just the angles.

I gotta tell you that, now, something else makes a lot of sense! When I wake up in the morning with a total hard-on (which is most mornings), I can't push my penis down far enough to be able to take a leak! I have to kneel down in front of the toilet, kind of bend over the toilet so that my body is more horizontal with the floor, and THEN I'm able to bend down my erect penis far enough to be able to aim it into the toilet! (I thought EVERYBODY had to do that! I didn't realize everyone wasn't the same!)

Many people can't urinate when they are fully erect, but others can.

An alternative to the kneeling position is to use the shower. :smile:

True, and if going outside is inconvenient, there is always the window.

Who's going to stand outside and watch?

How did the dare come up? To me, it'd seem a bit odd to be talking about being hard at all. But then on top of it daring each other to just drop your pants. Out of curiosity, what exactly was the dare? Was it just to show each other your boners or to compare size?

What were your sizes? Were the sizes of you three actually the same or just not noticed? Is the angle of erection at all determined by size? More penis, more weight, greater angle?

No offense, but what's with all the detailed questions? ADDED: Quote: Is the angle of erection at all determined by size? More penis, more weight, greater angle? Read Ineligible 's post above.

Out of curiosity, what exactly was the dare? Scroll up and look at what I wrote on Nov. 15. I think that answers a lot of what you are asking.I think most of it was just as you said - - Out of curiosity. I know that was what I was thinking. When my friend pretty much announced to us that he had an erection, that's what got it going. Then my other friend made the dare, and then just to be crazy, I stood up and pulled down my shorts first. Then the others did too. (I admit I really DID want to see what another guy's penis looked like when it was hard. I had never seen anyone else when they were hard, so I was curious. That's pretty much it.)

It surprised me that all three of us were so different. I just thought that all guys when they got an erection got their penis pointing pretty much straight up like mine does, but then I saw that neither of my friends were like that. Comparing size wasn't something I even thought about, but I think we were all pretty much the same. Nobody was small or super huge. But we did all look more different than I expected.
