WHY MEN DON'T TALK ABOUT BENT PENIS

A year back, i came across a group of guys. They were talking about how and why women’s breast sags easily. Actually the reason for this whole convo was because a young lady next to the shop where i was had a baby tied to her back with a wrapper- African style, but with a little adjustment. Instead of knotting the wrapper above her breast, she tied and knotted below her breast-around her tommy only. It took me a few seconds to decode the whole thing.

Now, something led to something and the lady confessed why she did it. She is still single lady and of course she wouldn't want a sagged breast all in the name of helping to nurse her sister’s child.  Another thing led to another one, then the bent genitals issue came up. This is where i noticed that even the most talkative guy in the group couldn't utter a word. I pressed on the matter again...if i am not mistaken, one of them actually told me to die the matter. Anyways, i don’t want to conclude that all men are ashamed to talk about bent penis.

Bent penis doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. Some men have a penis that curves to the side- most time to the left, upward or downward when erect.  Generally, a bent penis is only a cause for concern if your erections are painful or if the curvature of your penis interferes with sex.

When you become sexually aroused, blood flows into sponge like spaces inside the penis, expanding and stiffening it. A bent penis occurs when these spaces do not expand as it is engineered to.  Sometimes it is as a result of circumcision related issues and other reason may be incidental. Removal of more foreskins on the side of a penis than others may cause penile curvature. I am not saying that saying that circumcision causes penile curvature- please endeavor to circumcise you male kids. It’s a God given requirement and even comes with health benefits.  That being the case, some persons who are not circumcised actually have bent penis either to the left or right.

Well this is where i drop my pen. I am not a health consultant or practitioner. I just want men to air their views on the matter. If you want help, try and see a physician. don’t keep it to yourself. There are indications that Peyronie's disease can lead to cancer! If we have a health consultant in the house...please we would love it if you drop your views. If you have concerns, you can also drop your views anonymously.
