Dear Pastor,

I am a 23-year-old male. My concern is that my penis has a curve to the left. I have never had sex before and what I want to know is: Will it affect me in sexual intercourse? And is it normal in the first place? If not, can it be corrected and how?

Dear A.B.,

You have Peyronie's disease. It is not known what causes Peyronie disease. Doctors say that it can happen after an injury. "In early stages of the disease there is usually pain associated with having an erection. Sometimes that pain begins before the actual curvature starts, so that it can act as an early indicator." Sometimes the bend is slight and does not affect intercourse, but at other times it prevents the man from having intercourse. The good news is that the curve may disappear on its own. Surgery may help, but there is no guarantee that it may cure the disease.

I suggest therefore that you consult a medical practitioner.
