Can’t you just use the other hand for a few years and shape it back in the other direction? If you time it right… it should be straighter when you’re done. ---

Diagnosed with Peyronie’s about a year ago. Started a treatment of blood thinner, vasodialator and vitamin E. Majority of the “bumoiness” and bend corrected itself. The pain stopped and the situation has stabilized. Doc said it takes about a year to stabilize. I’m off the meds, but Mr Happy still points to 10:30 or 11 o’clock. Still performs though. ---

Well vitamin E is used just to speed up the results, so I think im going to combine it with the stretcher. The penis stretcher is not a man or a woman 😃 … it’s a device you wear that applies a slight pulling force. ---

I was always told the slight bend was due to favoring one side when self-pleasuring. But then again, it was the same people who told me I’d go blind from it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-is-my-thingie-crooked/332670.md?page=1)
