Penises come...: Penises come in all sizes and point in directions from a little below the horizon to a bit above the horizon. Of course, comparing to the horizon only makes sense if the person is standing upright. He should realize that a penis has a mind of it's own and often points where it wants to point. That means overthinking about one's penis can interfere with the penis.

chordee is when the penis bends down. Chances are that there is nothing wrong but get checked by a Urologist for your re-assurance.
