Is it normal that my erect penis points almost straight up when standing?

My girlfriend and I recently took eachother's virginity, and had sex maybe 5 or 6 times before we sadly both had to go back to college in different states. I found that putting it in/making it feel comfortable was kind of hard. I figured that maybe that was just part of the process, but something occurred to me just now that might be the reason. When I'm fully erect my penis points almost straight up, close to perpendicular to the ground. Is this normal and might this be the reason that sex has been sort of difficult?

    Good for you. A hard dick that points to the stars is a thing of beauty. Enjoy it while you’ve got it. It won’t last forever. As for fucking, enter her from the rear. She’ll enjoy your dickhead hitting her G spot anyway. Any babe that doesn’t appreciate a rockhard cock doesn’t know what good sex is.

    My penis use to go up when I was a kid and I use to sleep on my stomach so i would angle my penis downwards when I slept and it bent it downwards overtime to be straight. Sounds like bs I know but it actually happened.

      I rate this tale Plausible.

      The root of the penis is attached to the pelvis by ligaments, and ligaments can stretch. Of course, it might have happened anyway as things changed with you growing up.

        What I did not add is that during those early teenage years your hormones are going crazy and I would basically sleep on my stomach with a morning wood every night. The pressure from the hard penis being angled downwards seemed to create a somewhat uncomfortable sensation but not too bad. It would put strain on the center you could feel it pulling it down, im sure as a dude you know the feeling im talking about. It could be just growing older it got straighter but still till the day in im laying down I instinctively angle it down just out of habit for that reason. I worry itll go crooked if I let it stay upwards and I lay on iy.

    It's all very well you being all technical and shit and using a ten dollar word like perpendicular, but that data is meaningless if you don't also specify the angle of your body relative to the horizontal. 😁

    Perpendicular to the ground when you're lying flat on your back, when you're lying on one side or the other and when you're standing are all very different angles relative to your body. Perpendicular to the ground when you're lying on your front is somewhat problematic.

    If you're talking about that angle when you're standing, then you're within the range of normal. Typically, a solid erection of a healthy young man will be something like 45° above horizontal when he's standing, but that angle varies a lot. Some guys point well below horizontal even when they're totally firm, and obviously some guys are like you. There's nothing weird about your penis. It just is how it is due to genetics and maybe some random stuff that happened during the early development of the foetus that became you.

    It is possible for sex to be physically uncomfortable for both men and women due to their genital geometry and the position they're using.

    You should have enough experience of the sensations produced by your penis to know if the discomfort you experienced was due to the shaft being bent. It is possible that a combination of the angle of attachment of the root of your penis to your pelvis, how your girlfriend's vagina is arranged in her body, you being very hard, and the position you two were using resulted in some bending going on.

    You obviously can't alter the first two of those things, but you can change the latter two. Most healthy young men are capable of getting another erection fairly soon after they have an orgasm, but the follow-up boners tend to be not quite as rigid as the first. You should be able to figure out how this fact might have a practical application in your case.

    As for position, there are lots of variations you could try, and it would be very strange if none of them are comfortable for both you and your girlfriend. Have a look here: https://sexinfo101.com/positions and try to figure out if your penis would be in a neutral, unstressed state when your body was in the position of the male model.

    If your girlfriend has any sense, and you explain the problem to her in a way that makes it clear that you think the difficulty is entirely due to how your body is arranged, she should be willing to experiment so you can find something that works for both of you.

    You - like all guys - should be aware that there is such a thing as a penile fracture. If an erect penis is forcibly bent, it is possible for the internal tissues to rupture. This is serious trauma which requires immediate medical attention if the guy doesn't want to end up with a dick that's always bent when he's erect.

    It's not something you should obsess about since most penises aren't all that fragile, but the general rule applies: if something feels uncomfortable, then you should stop doing it.

    Finally, I have to wonder if the discomfort you experienced didn't have anything to do with your penis being bent at an awkward angle. It is possible that what you experienced was due to your girlfriend's vagina not being well-lubricated and/or her being tense. Even if she was totally into everything that was going on between you two, it's possible some subconscious shit was going on in her head and her PC muscles were clenched. If you weren't using lube and she hadn't had at least one orgasm before you inserted your penis, then it's possible what you felt was more due to friction. That would make sex less than great for both of you.
