To the cynical among us, the common thinking around penises is that if you\u2019ve seen one, you\u2019ve seen them all. But many men know that every penis is different and unique in its own way: like snowflakes \u2013 no two are the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

A different size or shaped penis can determine how to best use and enjoy it. When it comes to <\/span>penises that are perhaps too big<\/span><\/a>, there is the issue of comfort and, in extreme cases, the safety of the partner who is being penetrated. <\/span>When we’re <\/span>talking about small penises<\/a><\/span>, we focus on techniques for ensuring that both partners can be fulfilled during intimacy. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a curved penis, or someone whose partner has a \u2018banana dick\u2019 as it is informally known, here\u2019s what to know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is my curved dick normal?<\/h2>\n

Yes, totally normal. In fact, most every penis bends in one way or another \u2013 up, down, left or right \u2013 whether it’s flaccid or fully erect. <\/span><\/p>\n

When a <\/span>penis becomes erect<\/span><\/a>, it is due to blood vessels within the shaft filling with blood. However, not all of these blood vessels inflate to the same degree, causing the penis to perhaps veer off in one direction or another. No matter what angle you dangle, don\u2019t worry about it; it\u2019s all good.<\/span><\/p>\n

What causes a penis to bend?<\/h2>\n

The amount of blood that floods into your penis to make it erect is a big factor in determining which way your penis will point. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another thing that can affect the angle or direction of his erection is the method or forcefulness used when masturbating. Some men who employ the <\/span>\u2018death grip\u2019 while they jerk off<\/span><\/a> can alter the shape and curvature of their penis. <\/span><\/p>\n

For guys reading this, you actually might notice that your erection bends in the direction that corresponds with the hand you use to masturbate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there any benefits to a curved penis?<\/h2>\n

Yes. You know how <\/span>sex toys for women<\/span> can come in all shapes and sized to provide varied or specific pleasures? A penis with a bit of a curve can serve that same pleasurable purpose. <\/span><\/p>\n

Explore the possibilities of a unique penis by choosing sex positions that allow for the most effective kind of control. Woman on top will allow a female partner to come to grip with how a curved penis can be manipulated to provide maximum pleasure, and likewise, will doggy style, as long as he takes it slow and there\u2019s clear communication between partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Could a curved penis indicate something serious?<\/h2>\n

Probably not, however, if you suddenly notice that your penis is straight while flaccid and curves only when you\u2019re hard it might be a sign of <\/span>Peyronie\u2019s disease<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Peyronie\u2019s occurs when a buildup of scar tissue within the blood vessels of the penis constricts blood flow. If caught early enough, like when you notice a change in your penis\u2019s curvature, it is treatable. Peyronie\u2019s is somewhat common for men over the age of 40. <\/span><\/p>\n

A sudden curvature of the penis, if it occurs along with abdominal pain and an increased frequency of needing to urinate, could indicate an <\/span>obstruction of the urethra<\/span><\/a>. In cases like this, as well as with Peyronie\u2019s mentioned above, we suggest seeking medical advice and treatment as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
