New This Month: Curve in Penis

Question: Is it normal for my penis to curve, and will it be a problem in my "love life?"

Answer: The penis will naturally have a curve to one side or the other, and can only be seen when the penis is erect. If there is no pain, you can urinate (pee) and ejaculate (cum) without problems or pain, then there will likely not be any problem with your "love life."

Sometime a penis will be traumatized (hit, kicked, damaged) and form scar tissue. This will make the penis softer on that side beyond the injury and cause a curve in the penis. However, if this is the case, you would have a problem in becoming completely hard. If you have suffered an injury or if you are having problems becoming completely hard, urinating, or ejaculating, please see your doctor.
