The curvature of a penis is usually a matter of genetics for the most part…
QUESTION: Guys tell me my cock is a beauty—thick shaft, nice big head. Only it’s got a pretty radical curve to the left, and I’m left-handed. Did I make it this way by stroking left-handed so much? Is there anything I can do about this? Can it be straightened out in a way that doesn’t hurt?
RESPONSE: This is a fairly common concern that I’ve responded to before. Possibly you have reinforced the direction of that curve in your penis by masturbating a great deal with that one hand. However, the curvature of a penis is usually a matter of genetics for the most part. So long as this condition of your erection is not painful, and has not recently increased, it is probably not Peyronie’s disease. Peyronie’s results from an accumulation of scar tissue inside the penis.
Most likely your behavior has not been the primary cause of this feature of your penis, any more than it has caused the color of your eyes or your hair. Some degree of curvature is definitely the case with almost every erect penis; in fact, the variety adds to the beauty of engorged male organs overall. Most penises display some degree of curvature, or quite a bit in directions that are generally upward, downward, left or right, but may manifest in almost any combination of those directions.
You can try masturbating a lot more with your right hand. Though I cannot guarantee you will modify the curvature any appreciable amount, to use both hands is something I always suggest to men when I coach men in Mindful Masturbation. Your hands, left and right, are each connected with the opposite brain hemisphere, according to how your nervous system is wired together. So, to use both hands adds some variety to how the stroking of your penis feels. Plus, it may increase sensations somewhat by encouraging you brain hemispheres to communicate even more!
There really is no safe way to modify the curve of your penis without endangering both its natural beauty and its functional aspects. Of course, if the curve seems to increase, or you feel pain in your penis, have a physician check on what’s happening, as it could be Peyronie’s, a treatable condition.
Apart from the latter situation, your very best option is to not only let this inspire you to use both hands when you masturbate, but also learn to appreciate your penis exactly as it is! Your penis is unique to you as an individual, just like your face or your thumbprint, while the basic design is universally human.
What really matters most, of course, is the pure penis pleasure you give yourself!
A note from The Batemaster: I’m honored that the guys at Bateworld have asked me to respond to some questions from male masturbators around the world every week.

I worried a lot about this from about age 14 to 32 – from the time I first showed my big curved down cock to my buddies and got teased, until I started coming out and had my first awesome blow job which let me know in no uncertain terms that my cock was truly wonderful! My theory was that all the spontaneous hardons in my pants in high school had done the job of curving my cock. Much later I learned that it was one aspect of a birth condition called hypospadias, not so much a genetic condition but a developmental condition in utero. I’ve gone from worrying to celebrating curved cocks – the curvature makes them seem much more alive – they’re on the move! If there’s also a sideways curve, then your cock feels quite different when it’s in one hand or the other. I really doubt that any particular grip is going to change the curvature of a fully formed cock – mine has been reliably the same shape for the last 63 years and my masturbation techniques have constantly evolved over that time. So enjoy and share that banana frequently!
To this questioner: Brother, my cock has a slight upward curve and a slight left curve. It has been this way as far back as I can remember. I usually bate with my left hand and occasionally use my right. I don’t believe using one hand over the other is responsible for your curve. Using a different hand does, however, provide different stimulation and arouses different pleasure points. Cock is beautiful; I have seen many attractive cocks here on BW and a lot of these had prominent curves. Don’t worry, be happy.
