Is the curvature of the penis normal during an erection? What is the impact of penile curvature on sexual activity

The curvature angle of the penis during sexual intercourse is not large and remains unchanged for a long time, so there is generally no need to worry. Penile curvature during erection is common, and statistics show that only about 30% of men have a completely erect penis during erection, while another two-thirds of men have varying degrees and angles of curvature during erection.

The causes of penile curvature can be congenital or acquired. Congenital is mainly caused by inconsistent development of the two sides of the corpus cavernosum in the penis during puberty. Some people even have different development of the same side of the corpus cavernosum, which can cause a certain angle of curvature. This is not much related to the tightness of the pants, the position of the penis in the pants, whether masturbation or sleeping posture. Acquired penile trauma, pelvic fractures, and penile sclerosis can also cause curvature during erection.

So as long as the bending is not very severe and does not affect sexual activity, there is no problem. If the angle of forward bending of the penis during erection is not greater than 40 degrees; The angle of bending backwards, leftward, or rightward should not exceed 30 degrees, which is within the normal range. If it exceeds this range or has already affected sexual activity, it is necessary to consider seeking medical treatment and receiving surgical treatment.
