Dear Reverend,

I've got a weird penis. When I get a hard-on, it curves to the left a bit. I've had sex with a few women, and nobody has ever mentioned it, but it's a little embarrassing. Is this normal?

Dear Left-Leaning,

I had a run-in with a curvy penis some years ago. It was a one-time thing, and I didn't have a protractor on me at the time, but I'd say it had at least a 20-degree bend to the right. It was a little surprising at first but not a big deal, and it got the job done.

Penises are like snowflakes — no two are alike — and your curve is most likely a normal difference in anatomy. If you've always had it and you aren't experiencing any pain when you get an erection, you're probably good to go, but you should mention it to your doctor if you haven't already. There are a few medical issues that can cause a bent penis, such as Peyronie's disease, which is highly treatable if you catch it early.

The good news is, vaginas are designed to have human babies come out of them, so they are very accommodating of all sorts of shapes and sizes of things that go in. I mean, have you seen some of the dildos out in the world? You could actually work your angle to your advantage. I would imagine, in some positions, your bent buddy might be able to hit spots that a regular ol' straight penis might miss.

Good luck and God bless,

The Reverend
