I'm concerned because my penis curves downwards like a banana when it's erect. There's no pain, and I don't have any issues except for the curvature. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be affecting me in some way I don't realize?

A curved penis, especially when erect, is typically not a cause for concern if it doesnt cause pain, discomfort, or interfere with sexual function. This is often a natural variation in penis shape, which can occur due to factors like genetics or Peyronies disease, though the latter is usually associated with pain or difficulty during sex. Since you mention there's no pain or other issues, it's likely just a harmless curvature.

My penis has a noticeable curve when erect but it's straight when flaccid. It doesn't cause any pain but I'm self-conscious about how it looks. I'm not sexually active right now and don't plan to be soon, but I'm worried this might cause problems later. I masturbate with my left hand could that be related? I read that surgery might be the only fix but I really don't want to go that route. Is this curve normal or something I should address now? Could it affect my sex life in the future?

It is normal ,nothing to worry.If still facing issues please consult dermatologist.
