That's an excellent question. You do want to take care during intercourse if you have significant curvature of the penis.

Have you been evaluated by a health care provider for this? Some curvature of the penis during erection is normal. However, too much curvature can be a sign of Peyronie's disease, which is caused by scar tissue within the erectile tissue of the penis. Peyronie's is not caused by cancer, nor does it contribute to an increased risk of cancer. It also is not caused by a sexually transmitted disease.

Whether or not you have Peyronie's disease, if you have significant curvature of the penis, you probably want to avoid very vigorous thrusting during sex. Not only could this be painful for you, it could be painful for your partner. It's probably a good idea, too, to become familiar with sexual positions that make insertion easier and don't cause the penis to bend mid-shaft. You don't want to experience a penile fracture.

Don't be embarrassed to discuss this situation with your health care provider. He or she can give you specific information about what to do to avoid injuring your penis during intercourse.
