Bend?

---

I really just found this forum and i figure I'd ask a question about a problem that has been worrying me. I'm 17 and i have a downward bend in my penis when it is erect, and I'm wondering if this is weird, or maybe bad, or if there is a way to "fix" the problem. Because I am 17 i would feel really awkward telling my mom to setup an appointment with my doctor about it, or even talking to my doctor about it at all. I would compare the bend slightly to a banana, but with a less extreme curve. The problem, I believe, was from me always sleeping in jeans when i was 12-14 and would get erections while i was sleeping which didn't allow much room.

Please take this post seriously because I am going out on a limb posting on here, and I already feel weird enough.

Welcome to A2A, ShawnB.It's not weird. About half of all penises have a significant bend when erect. Although the most common are up and to the left, downward bends are by no means rare. The reason for bends isn't known.Ordinary bends don't cause any problems in sex - in fact the penis has to bend inside the vagina. A downward bend might be better at stimulating the G-spot in rear positions such as doggy-style.There is a medical condition (Peyronie's disease) when scar tissue forms and causes a severe bend that cannot be straightened without pain. This is quite different from an ordinary bend. An ordinary bend needs no treatment.

The only problem I could see is that it might seem like you have a lesser of an erection?I'm a lefty myself If you cared :S

Well thank you to both of you for posting back, this is really a great idea for a forum. Thanks for your incite (both of you :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) and I am deeply thankful.
