Is Low Lying Erection Indicative Of Problems With The Suspensory Ligament?
Question: I am a 30 years old man. I have a query regarding erection during sexual intercourse. I have never been sexually active apart from masturbation which I am doing since last 13 years. When I get excited my penis enlarges and become harder but it points downwards. In other words the angle of erection is very low (about 30 deg from thighs). I had a habit of masturbating while slipping on my belly. My question is will this cause any problem during sexual intercourse?

Hello

Is it the maximum erection ? Generally in young age, the penis points above a line horizontal to ground If this is the maximum erection, there could be a problem. Masturbation does not cause this problem but anxiety can .
You should get a Detailed checkup and tests including NPT .

Hello doctor,
Thanks for the reply.Since I have not been sexually active it is difficult to identify the maximum erection. However some times in the mornings I have noticed the erection near to the line of horizontal ,which often becomes horizontal after applying force.
I have read that that prolonged masturbation by lying on belly can stretch suspensary ligament which can affect the erection angle. Is this true?
I would also like to highlight that my erections are quite hard and I don't have any other medical problems. I exercise regularly and I am physically fit.
Do you still suspect a problem?What could be a cause of the problem if there is one.

Masturbation will not hurt your suspensory ligament still I think there could be a problem so get the investigations like NPT and Doppler study of penis. We can talk about problem once the results are given. Before that everything is presuming.
