Question:
I am a 15 year old male, and this is the only place I have found that can answer questions. When I have an erection, it goes directly up, and almost hits my stomach. And as I am currently becoming sexually active, that could get in the way. because I can not "push" it down to where it'd be parallel to the ground. All my friends are like that, but I still can't get my penis to go downward. And it's uncomfortable to try and push it down. What can I do? Will it go away naturally with time?

It sounds like your erection is quite normal and healthy for a 15-year old. I does not have to be parallel to the ground for intercourse. This will be highly dependent on what position is used. As far as web sites for teens- see sxetc.org and teenwire.com for great information! Dr. Tepper
