- I used to wake up in the morning
"tenting" or with my erection pointing
directly to the sky. Now, it points
directly at my face.
- After bouts of hard exercise, when
flaccid it becomes very cold, and seems to
shrink.
- I notice an indentation when soft
(though not while hard) around the middle
of the shaft.
- It has a very high angle now (I don't
know if this has always been the case,
because my memories of when I was young
are hazy) and an upward curve.
- Penis is not very flexible; While
standing, I cannot bring it to the
horizontal, and while lying down It points
to my face, and if I attempt to push it
back to a "standing" position, it becomes
uncomfortable, and eventually painful.
- I used to be able to masturbate without
lubrication, but I can no longer do that
due to pain... with lubrication, there is
no pain.

Some of the remarks you make describing
erection seem perfectly normal. Remarks
like, “while standing, I cannot bring it
to the horizontal, and while lying down It
points to my face, and if I attempt to
push it back to a standing position, it
becomes uncomfortable, and eventually
painful” should not cause worry because
this is normal behavior for a penis in
full erection. Painful masturbation
without lubrication could also be
considered a normal condition because the
penis’s head is very sensitive to dry
friction. A doctor can physically examine
the “indentation” you describe because
a visual examination is required for
diagnosis. The most important thing is to
monitor possible problems that arise
during sex. You can go to your primary
health provider for an examination and
follow through.
