The new man in my life has this problem [bendy penis]. He doesn't get any pain on erection. Our sex life has most definitely NOT suffered! My advice is to learn a lot about the condition yourself, tell the woman FIRST (before she sees it), and explain what it is and why it is different. This was helpful to me as I knew what to expect, wasn't surprised, had a chance to read up on it and get educated. Everything went really well from minute one for us. It’s not the size (or shape) that counts, it’s what you do with it. Relax and enjoy!
