Penis vary in size and shape, and an erect, curved penis is usually not a cause for concern. In fact, a curved penis is quite common. Some penises curve to the left or right, up or down. It only becomes a cause for concern if the curved penis causes discomfort when you have an erection and during sex, or if the curve of your penis increases. In these cases, we recommend that you contact a healthcare professional.

When it comes to the penis, “normal” is not relevant. Instead, “healthy” is all you need to worry about. This also goes for the curvature of the penis. If your erect penis is not straight and you see a curvature – for example, your penis is curved to the left or to the right like a banana – you may wonder if this is “normal” or healthy.

Is a curved penis normal?

Everyone's penis is a little different, and many men naturally have a slight curve in their penis. If you've always had a slightly curved penis, it's probably the way your body naturally is and nothing to be scared of, especially if you're not in pain. It's only when the curve gets bigger or causes painful erections that it can become a problem.

When does curvature become too much?

As a general rule, a curved penis usually doesn't need medical intervention and you don't need to worry about it if:

• It is not larger than a 30° curve.
• Does not cause pain (especially during sex).
• It's not constantly increasing.

Suppose you are experiencing pain or the curve of your penis is getting bigger. In this case, you may have Peyronie's disease, a condition that causes painful erections, significant bending and other complications due to fibrous scar tissue on the penis. Peyronie's disease can get worse over time, so it's best to see a doctor.

How ​​to measure a curved penis

If your penis is curved and you want to find out the angle of curvature, first you need a firm erection to accurately measure the curvature of your penis. You can measure it yourself using a goniometer in the comfort of your own home. You can also ask a healthcare professional to measure your penile curvature or ask them to look at pictures you take at home of your erect penis.

What are the best sex positions for a curved penis?

Admittedly, the suggestions below are subjective and only pertain to penetrative vaginal sex. Ultimately, the best sex positions are the ones that are best for you and your partner(s).

Upward curved penis

• Cowgirl: Let your partner use your curve in her favor.
• Missionary: The upward curve is perfect for G-spot stimulation and pressure on the anterior vaginal wall.

Penis curved down

• Reverse Cowgirl: Let her take control of the rhythm, penetration and pressure of your curve.
• Doggy-Style: This position allows for deeper penetration, which is useful if the curve is associated with penis shortening.

Side curved penis

“T” Position: Place partner on their back, legs spread and come in at a perpendicular angle to maximize penetration whichever way you're going to bend over. You basically look like the letter T. Bonus: The T position is low energy (no one is being held). So the two can stay in this position for as long as they need to.
