Wondering if your penis curvature is normal? Don’t worry. You’re not alone! Statistics show that up to 19% of all penises curve to one side or the other. While some may experience significant angulation or a curved penis shape that can be uncomfortable and painful during intercourse, others might be painless and asymptomatic.
What is a Curved Penis?
A curved penis is a condition in which the penis is bent or curved, usually to one side. This curvature can range from mild to severe and may be caused by an underlying medical condition such as Peyronie’s disease or congenital abnormalities. In some cases, the curvature may be associated with erectile dysfunction, pain during intercourse or difficulty with penetration [1].
What are the Causes of a Curved Penis?
Penile curvature, or Peyronie’s disease as it is sometimes known, is a condition where the penis bends abnormally during erection. There are several potential causes of this condition.
The most common cause is a congenital defect present at birth due to an underlying structural problem with the penile tissues. This curvature may be more severe and involve other structures, such as the scrotum or testicles.
Trauma during sex can also lead to penile curvature if the penis experiences excessive pressure or blunt force trauma [2]. It usually occurs if your partner is on top of you, your penis slips out, and they land on the erect penis. This can cause scarring and fibrous tissue buildup that results in a bent penis when erect. Finally, aggressive masturbation techniques may also cause penile curvature. If excessive force is applied to the penis, it can lead to scarring that causes the penis to bend when erect. It may also be associated with other conditions, such as chronic inflammation or infection of the penis.
How Much Curvature is Normal?
A certain degree of curvature in the penis is relatively common and usually not a cause for concern. Up to 19% of men are estimated to have some penile curvature. A normal penile curvature typically falls within 10 to 30 degrees. However, it’s important to note that the extent and direction of penile curvature can vary among individuals [3][4].
On the other hand, some doctors suggest that your penis is normal if you or your partner are not facing any troubles during intercourse.
Can a Curved Penis Cause Problems During Sex?
A curved penis can cause concerns during sexual intercourse, leading to an uncomfortable experience or even pain. The angle and curvature of the penis can make penetration difficult or impossible in certain sex positions. In contrast, other positions may be more comfortable but pose challenges for both partners.
Additionally, friction caused by abnormal curvature can cause abrasion and discomfort for one or both partners. In extreme cases, the partner with the curved penis may experience difficulty ejaculating due to decreased stimulation on the glans (tip) of the penis.
What are the Best Sex Positions if You have a Curved Penis?
Sitting Straddle
The Sitting Straddle position for a curved penis is a variation of the traditional Sitting Straddle sex position. In this version, both partners sit facing each other with their legs straddling either side of the penis. The angle and depth of penetration can be adjusted to suit the curvature of the penis, making it an ideal choice for those with a curved penis. This allows both partners to enjoy maximum pleasure from mutual thrusting and grinding motions. It also enables different levels of intimacy due to its close proximity, allowing couples to truly connect during sexual intercourse. This position is best suited for people who are comfortable being close together during sex and know how a curved penis works to get the most out of it.
Doggy Style
The Doggy Style sex position is popular for people with curved penises, as it allows for comfortable penetration and deep stimulation. The receiver stands on all fours while the giver positions themselves behind them, entering from behind.
This angle can help guide a curved penis into the receiver’s body more naturally than other sex positions. When carrying out this position, both partners should be aware of how much pressure they’re applying and check in to ensure that everything is comfortable for both parties involved. With some communication and experimentation, this highly pleasurable position can be successful for those with curved penises.
The T-Bone
The T-Bone Sex Position is a great option for couples with curved penis. It allows the man to thrust deeper and is particularly beneficial if his partner has a G-spot that needs stimulating. To perform the T-Bone position, the woman should lie on her back with her legs slightly bent and feet together in a crossed “T” shape.
The man should then enter her from behind, using shallow or deep strokes as desired. If either partner desires more stimulation, they can use their hands to provide added pressure or vibration. The main advantage of this sex position is that it allows the man to hit his partner’s G-spot easily because of his angled penis.
Standing Straddle
The Standing Straddle sex position is a great option for couples with a partner who has a curved penis. This position allows the receiver to control the depth and angle of penetration, giving them more control over their pleasure. The giver can support their partner’s hips or lower back as they thrust in a standing position.
This can be an intimate and tender way to experience intimacy with a curved penis partner. It is also important that both partners communicate about the stimulation level and should experiment together until they find what works best for them.
What are the Treatment Options for a Curved Penis?
Treatment options for a curved penis vary depending on the severity and cause of the curvature. Mild cases may not require treatment, or they can be corrected with stretching techniques, tissue massage, and kegel exercises. Non-surgical methods are recommended in individuals with less than 30 degrees curvature in their penises [5]. In more severe cases, surgery may be recommended to correct the curve. Surgery usually involves releasing tight tissue in the penis that causes the curve or correcting any underlying conditions contributing to it.
Penile implants can also straighten out a curved penis if other methods are unsuccessful. However, as mentioned above, treatment may not be necessary if you are not facing any troubles during sex.
