Erection in funny direction?

OK, here's how it goes. I'm 18, and your normal guy. That includes a fair bit of masterbation. :wink: The thing is, the way I masterbate, including rubbing my dick on my bed as though I was humping it (which, BTW, feels great if you've got the right kind of surface) has meant that when I get an erection, it always seems to point upwards. As in, if straight-out was 0˚, this would be 50˚, maybe a bit more (sorry to get maths-y on you!).

How normal is this? Can I get it back to being horizontal? The thing is, I've got a girlfriend now, and although she's telling me I've got to wait before we have sex (which is fine by me), I'm thinking I want it horizontal so we can do different positions and stuff, and that it might take a while to get it back like that!

I really appreciate any help/advice you can give me.

upwards a little is quite normal i think!

but 50 degrees sounds quite sharp... remember though that from your viewpoint it will be very difficult to estimate the angle.

I'm no expert but I think i've heard it's something to do with the muscle growth in your penis, where one muscle is bigger than the other causing it to go upwards or downwards.

Penis shapes/sizes vary so much you just have to live with it!

So its pointing halfway between your head and straight infront of you? Doesnt sound abnormal to me. 50 degrees is a bit extreme I think but should affect you too much. Use it regularly the "proper" way and you should be fine.
Nice graphic description there :rolleyes: I'm sure the boys will be able to advise you in depth, but as a girl who has seen more than one, they often (if not always!) point up to some extent, though are usually able to point whichever direction is necessary at the time (keeping in mind it will have something to hold it in the direction) if that makes sense...

It sounds fairly normal to me - they can point in a whole variety of directions and. I'm not sure if it can be corrected by anything you can do, but it shouldn't really limit you.

The muscles in your penis do almost nothing in terms of direction or anything like that. They do almost nothing at all, in fact.
There was a thread on this a while ago...clearly you didnt read it but some guy posted a link to a site about this. This site said it was some kind of 'wrongness' with a name (cant really call it an illness). Basically the message was...this is not right and it is not good for your body (specifically the pressure on your penis is ridiculous). It's much more common with guys than girls and it seriously limits/(destroys) your enjoyment of straightforward penetrative sex. The advice on the site was to wean yourself off this to something a little more convensional...say a hand...
the way you describead as masturbating is incorrect. its no good for your willy mate!! STOP doing it that way or you wont even be able to do it with yout GF.

BTW nothing wrong wit your dicks direction sum go down to the ground others to the sky..

Your penis direction thing is normal, shagging your bed isn't, however.

:rofl::toofunny:
like people have said the angle is nothing to worry about, in fact a slight curve could help with stimulation, for both of you. Also as Tarts_n_Vicars said it will be 'held' in place.

The bed bit, hmm, thats quite bizzare...don't know what else to say bout that lol

Missing out. Is there a health issue here though, as someone implied? Maybe I should give it a rest.

If it's pointing more upwards, then that's a good thing, it means you've got a solid erection.

It's better than drooping downwards, and it will be fine for sex.
