Seven Facts About a Curved Penis

By the time a guy is an adult, he has spent a lot of time getting to know his own penis and so is familiar with its basic appearance. Sometimes, he notices things that make him wonder if he has a normal penis. For many men, it is taking note of the fact that they have a curved penis which raises questions. So, what are some of the basic facts about a curved penis?

1) Some curvature is normal. It’s not at all unusual for a man to have curvature associated with his penis. When soft, the penis often bends a little one way or another, depending on how it has been arranged and how tight-fitting one’s underwear is. And when erect, many men have some slight curvature to the penis so that it lists slightly upward or downward or to the right or left. (By the same token, some men have a perfectly straight penis with no curvature.) A little curvature is no cause for worry.

2) But a severely curved penis is another matter. However, if a man’s penis has an extreme bend to it, that can be a cause for concern. If the curvature is such that it creates difficulty in having penetrative sex, or if there is pain associated with the curved penis when erect, this usually means that a man has a condition known as Peyronie’s disease.

3) The cause is often scarring. Peyronie’s disease typically results when a portion of the penis, known as the tunica albuginea, gets injured and develops scar tissue as it heals. The tunica albuginea forms a "wall" around spongy penile tissue that fills with blood during the erectile process. Heavy scarring prevents the tunica albuginea from expanding fully in the area affected. The rest of the penis expands as usual, but the scarred area expands less, causing the penis to bend.

4) There can be other causes, including reactions to certain medications. There is considerable debate about whether the condition may have a hereditary component in some men.

5) Sometimes a curved penis "unbends." In mild cases of Peyronie’s disease, the condition eventually resolves after a year or so. In more severe cases, treatment may be required. Some medications have proven effective for some men, including one FDA-approved option. In extreme cases, surgery may be offered as an option. Men with Peyronie’s disease should seek help only from a qualified medial professional.

6) Peyronie’s is more likely among older men. This kind of severely curved penis is less common among younger men and more likely to occur at age 50 or later. An estimated five to seven percent of men over the age of 50 are thought to have Peyronie’s disease.

7) It can damage self-esteem. Many men with a significantly curved penis suffer psychologically from it. They may feel shame or concern about how they will be perceived by partners, and this can have a negative effect on their self-esteem. This can in turn lead to erectile issues, as their feelings about the appearance of their penis may impact performance.

Whether one has a curved penis, a slight bend, or no bending at all, the facts are that all members benefit from regular attention to penis health. This can be assisted by daily application of a top notch penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Scar tissue can sometimes impact penis sensation, so a crème with a neuroprotective ingredient such as l-carnitine is advised to help keep the penis registering sensitivity at a pleasurable level. The best crème will also contain vitamin D, the so-called "miracle vitamin" that helps fight disease and supports healthy cellular function.

Normal Penis Size Advantage: Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better

It’s normal for people to wish for something they think they want, even if by doing so they don’t appreciate what they have. And that goes double when talking about penis size. No matter that proper penis health is ultimately more important than penis size; too many guys whose manhood is of normal, perfectly respectable dimensions envies the rare few who possess a member of exceptional size. But the truth is that a normal penis size is actually an asset.

Define normal
 
So what is meant by a "normal" penis size anyway? There are hundreds of surveys and reports that claim they are answering this question, including a recent one which found that the average penis size is about an inch longer than previously thought. But that survey is seriously flawed, depending on self-reporting - which is a recipe for exaggerated answers. The most recent reputable survey found that the normal penis size is actually a little over 5 inches when erect. The vast majority of men fall comfortably in the 4" to 6" range. Those who can truthfully boast of 7 inches or more are truly outliers.

Men are very visual, so it’s no wonder that when a porn star with a massive penis comes onscreen they assume their equipment must be lacking in power and prowess. Yet study after study has demonstrated that the size of the wand has nothing to do with the magic it packs.

Advantages
 
In fact, there are numerous advantages to being the proud owner of a penis of "normal" size. A few of these advantages include:

- It’s made for a woman. Sure, some women may salivate at the sight of an exceptionally large penis. But most women who have actually been in bed with a man of monstrous size can verify that the experience is not always pleasant. The vagina is made to accommodate 5 or 6 inches quite comfortably; when a larger penis penetrates, it can cause pain, especially if the owner of that penis has not indulged in enough foreplay. And since the most sensitive part of the vagina is in the initial 2 or 3 inches, stimulation can be achieved equally well with a normal penis size.

- Staying firm. Although scientific studies have not been conducted to back this up, anecdotal evidence suggests that, all other things being equal, it’s easier to maintain a normal erection than a massive one. The larger penis requires a larger influx of blood, and that can take more effort.
- Better protection. The vast majority of condoms are made for the normal penis size. Although manufacturers certainly make larger sizes, finding one that fits a bigger penis can be a problem. A normal guy can feel much more secure in his choice of protection.

- Oral attractiveness. Even women who enjoy vaginal penetration by a large penis are less enthused about performing oral sex on one. A guy with a normal penis size is much easier to handle from an oral performance perspective. So it’s fair to assume that men with a typical member enjoy more opportunities for oral sex than men with an atypically large manhood.

But whether the penis size is normal, extra-large or especially diminutive, it’s important to keep that member in prime health. Regular application of a first class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) should therefore be a part of every guy’s maintenance routine. For best results, select a crème that contains both L-arginine and acetyl L carnitine. An amino acid, L-arginine is a key element in the process by which penile blood vessels open so they are receptive to increased blood flow, essential for an engorged penis. And acetyl L carnitine is a neuroprotective ingredient that helps prevent loss of sensation in the penis from rough (if enjoyable) handling.
