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?
