Men’s Health Blogs Bent penis: When do you need a treatment? Unraveling the Mysteries of the Bent Penis Hey guys, welcome to Dr. Shah’s Clinic! In this snappy video & post, we’re diving into what’s commonly known as the bent penis. It’s a twisty tale, but don’t worry, we’ll straighten things out! Bent penises can mess with your head Understanding Penile Angle Deviation: When to Stay Calm If you’ve ever gazed downwards and noticed your little buddy leaning a bit to the right or left, don’t hit the panic button yet. A slight deviation in the range of about 5 to 20 degrees is pretty normal. Yes, it’s true (you heard that right) – not every penis can be a bloody straight arrow! In fact, in a large proportion of men, maybe even 60 to 70 percent, some degree of penile curvature is to be expected.

Book a Call Book a Call Curvature: The Bendy Norm in Men’s World Did you know that penile curvature is as common as finding a left-handed person in a crowd? In the grand spectrum of penises across the world, many lean left, right, up, or down, making each one uniquely different. This diversity is like having different types of cars; they all get you to your destination, just with a bit of individual flair. Moreover, this curvature doesn’t signal any health issue. As a practicing sexologist doctor in chennai this is a very common problem I see (day in and day out) It’s like having a preference for a different variety of tea – different, but totally normal. Tea is still tea. When Straight Isn’t the Only Way Interestingly, penile curvature can sometimes be advantageous. For some partners, a slight curve might even enhance pleasure, navigating the intimate geography like a skilled explorer. Think of it as having a special edition of a classic model; it has its unique features that makes the ride a bit more intriguing. A typical example would be that of a penis bent ever so slightly upward. These penises definitely manage to hit the women’s G-Zone When to Worry: Spotting Signs of Peyronie’s Disease However, if your penis takes a sharp turn – we’re talking about a 40-degree detour or more – it’s time to consider a pit stop at the doctor’s (sexologists) office. A dramatic curve (>40 degree) might signal Peyronie’s disease, and that’s a road you want to navigate with professional guidance. Navigating the Sharp Curves of Peyronie’s Peyronie’s Disease is like hitting a pothole on the road of sexual health. It can cause significant bending, pain, and sometimes erectile dysfunction. Imagine your penis deciding to mimic the Leaning Tower of Pisa – impressive but not quite right. This condition arises from fibrous scar tissue formation in the organ. Furthermore, peyronies leads to curved penis of a severe degree. Subscribe to our Newsletter The ‘Oh No’ of Extreme Bent Penis Severe curvature can make sex challenging or even painful, like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Pain during sex is also common. Furthermore, you and your partner both may experience significant pain. Men with severe curvature also suffer from erectile dysfunction. Consequently, your sex life will become largely sexless. Seeking immediate help is the way forward. A Doppler to the Rescue: Navigating the Bend If you’re dealing with a substantial curve, a penile Doppler ultrasound is like your GPS – it helps to figure out what’s going on under the hood. This test can reveal if Peyronie’s disease is changing your course (for worse) The Magic Wand of Penile Health:  Analyzing a Bent Penis The penile Doppler ultrasound is like waving a magic wand over your manhood. It uses sound waves to create a picture of what’s happening inside. It’s a non-invasive way to peek under the bonnet without any screws loose. This test will show if your penis is just taking a casual stroll down Curvy Lane or if there’s a more serious issue of Peyronie’s disease at play. Conclusion: Steering Clear of the Curves So, if your penis is slightly askew, chances are you’re just part of the majority. But if it’s taking a hard left or right, consult your andrologist. Remember, when it comes to your health, it’s better to be safe than sorry – or, in this case, straighter rather than curvier!

Masturbation after Marriage: Should you do it?

Married Indian couple lying awake in bed at night, turned away from each other, the husband's face lit by a phone screen

The pattern I see most: not a bad marriage, just two people slowly turning away. Yes. Most men masturbate, married or not. In Britain’s national survey, fielded in 2010–12, 77.5% of men aged 16 to 74 reported doing it in the past month (Fischer, 2026). No national survey reports a separate figure for married men, but nothing suggests marriage stops it. On its own that does not mean your sex life is bad, and it is not cheating. It does not cause disease either. But common is not the same as harmless. After marriage, this habit costs you something very specific. I am Dr Shah Dupesh, an andrologist in chennai. Men ask me about masturbation after marriage almost every day — usually in a low voice, usually last, usually after we have finished discussing whatever they actually booked the appointment for. So let me tell you plainly where I stand. I am not going to tell you that you have damaged your body, burnt your sperm or drained your strength. You have not. Those are myths, and I have spent years arguing against them. But I am also not going to give you the comfortable answer the rest of the internet gives you. In a marriage, I ask my patients to stop. Here is my reasoning, along with the evidence that supports me and the evidence that does not. Masturbation after marriage is fairly common in men. Watch the video below, where I go through why the habit continues after the wedding and the problems it causes. If you would rather read it, everything in that video is below — with the studies attached. In a nutshell Masturbation after marriage: the nine-line version 1 It is common 77.5% of men — married and unmarried together — reported masturbating in the past month. You are not abnormal (Fischer, 2026). 2 It is not damaging your body No blindness, no weakness, no infertility, no lost testosterone. Those myths are false and I will not repeat them. 3 But it tracks a struggling sex life The men having the most intercourse were the least likely to masturbate (Fischer, 2026). 4 Frequency tracks lower satisfaction In 3,586 men, higher masturbation frequency was associated with lower sexual and lower overall relationship satisfaction — though those authors judged the association weak overall (Rowland, 2023). 5 Secrecy has a measurable cost On days a man’s solo use was hidden from his partner, he himself reported lower intimacy and satisfaction (Vaillancourt-Morel, 2024). 6 Technique matters more than frequency Men with erectile dysfunction were 2.2 times more likely to use an atypical technique such as prone rubbing or heavy pressure (Can, 2023). 7 The pattern is striking In men with both ED and that pattern (n = 98), erections were firmer alone (60.2%) than during partnered sex (38.8%). Direction is not proven (Can, 2023). 8 Get the physical causes excluded first Erectile trouble can be the first sign of diabetes or heart disease. That workup comes before any of this. 9 My position The upside after marriage is close to nil. The downside is real for a minority. I cannot tell in advance which man you are — so I ask you to stop. That is the summary. Now the detail — and I would ask you to read the part where I argue against myself. On this page 1. How common it really is 2. The finding that changed my mind 3. Seven reasons men keep the habit 4. What it costs a marriage 5. The buffet meal 6. Get the physical causes excluded 7. The technique problem 8. My argument against myself 9. What it does not do 10. If you are trying for a baby 11. Is my habit a problem? 12. How to actually stop 13. What to tell your wife 14. The religious question 1. 📊 Yes, married men masturbate — the real numbers Let us get the fact out of the way. A lot of men arrive convinced they are the only married man on earth doing this. You are not. Britain has run the same national sexual-behaviour survey for decades. Across 26,000 people, the proportion of men reporting masturbation in the previous month rose from 73.4% to 77.5% between the two rounds, the later one fielded in 2010–12 (Fischer, 2026). That is roughly three men in four, married and unmarried together. American national data shows the same picture and adds something more useful. Men who wanted partnered sex much more often than they were getting it were 4.40 times more likely to be frequent masturbators (Herbenick, 2023). What the national surveys actually found Finding The number Source Men reporting masturbation in the past month 77.5% (up from 73.4%) Fischer, 2026 — Britain, n = 26,323, fielded 2010–12 Men wanting more partnered sex: odds of frequent masturbation 4.40× higher Herbenick, 2023 — US, nationally representative Men with the highest intercourse frequency Least likely to masturbate Fischer, 2026 Men using an atypical technique (prone, pressure, through clothing) 10.97% Wang, 2024 — Chinese online sample, n = 2,743 Sexually active young men with some degree of erectile dysfunction 21.5% Jacobs, 2021 — n = 2,067 sexually active, of 3,419 surveyed So the honest answer to “do married men masturbate?” is: most of them, at least sometimes. If your only worry was whether you are strange, stop worrying. For the frequency question specifically, I have written about how many times masturbation can be done in a day. But read that third row again. That is the one that matters. 2. 🔍 The finding that changed how I think about this Here is the result most articles quietly skip. In the British national data, the men having the most intercourse were the least likely to have masturbated in the past month (Fischer, 2026). Sit with that. If masturbation were simply an expression of a healthy, high sex drive, you would expect the opposite — the most sexual men doing the most of everything. In men, that is not what the data shows. The same
