Thank you for submitting your question. Based upon your description, I do not know what the bumps on the base of your penis are. If you are concerned about this (and are participating in unprotected sexual behaviors)you should see your doctor. As for the curve in your penis, most penises are not perfectly straight. In fact most men curve to one side or the other. If you are having problems maintaining an erection this can be for a number of reasons. Nerves, drugs, and alcohol can all affect one's ability to maintain an erection. See if you can determine which is/are playing a role in your situation. Hope this information helps.
