Hi and thanks for writing in. Yours is a very common question, particularly among young men. What you are observing is perfectly normal and is experienced by a lot (if not an actual majority) of men. Like other body parts, the penis is not always perfectly straight. In fact, in men who's penises do bend a bit when erect, the left side is the most common angle. Others may bend to the right, down, or up. As long as you experience no physical discomfort and it doesn't interfere with normal functioning, you have absolutely nothing to be concerned about. You are correct in acknowledging that you don't have Peyronie's disease, which is a PAINFUL curvature of the erect penis, due to scarring in the tissue. Just like your nose, ears, feet, etc have unique shapes, so does your penis. Feel free to accept that this is your unique shape.
Again, thanks for your question. Feel free to write again with any other concerns you may have.
Take care and be well.
