A member asked:

If you cant bend your penis that means your penis is hard right?

Dr. Romanth Waghmarae answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Penis: Yes you probably have an erection. Do not try to force it to bend as you will damage the corpus callosum and may develop a bend that may need surgical correction.
