It doesn't matter what kind of penis you have

It doesn't matter what kind of penis you have, what matters is knowing how to use it 🪄

Purpur asked a urologist everyone has a crush on what kinds of penises there are and what's wrong with eggplants.

They really do come in different kinds

We're going to talk about penises now. And they really do come in different kinds, and that's worth stressing. Some are, roughly speaking, standard: moderately wide, moderately long, exactly by the book. Great. Some are real clubs, wide and big. Some people love that, some got lucky, some got less lucky. Some think it's lucky, others think it's just normal. Anyway, it's simply a fact. Sometimes they're bluish and thick, like an eggplant, and that, by the way, is bad. I'll come back to that in a moment. They can also be thin and long, or thin and short. And some are curved. Imagine that: even within the normal range they can be a little curved. What they all have in common is the ability to do their job properly, and that job is reproductive and urinary. Honestly, that's all we need a penis for.

Curvature

Curvature can be congenital, or it can be acquired after some kind of penile injury, and the angle of curvature varies. So everything depends on whether the curvature causes pain during erection, and whether it causes pain during intercourse, either for the patient himself or for his sexual partner. So it all comes down to the symptoms: either we operate and correct the curvature, or we don't. Because, let me warn you right away, you can't straighten it out the way you might have tried as a kid.

What is an eggplant penis, anyway?

Now about eggplants. What is an eggplant penis, anyway? It's a fairly rare thing. It mainly occurs as a result of penile trauma. That's why sex should be careful. If this happens, rush to a urologist straight away, because something has to be done immediately. So have sex carefully. Have sex using plenty of water-based lubricant, and that's a must.

A tip from a urologist

And here's a tip from a urologist, free of charge, my gift to you: right after sex, go and pee. For girls, this helps prevent postcoital cystitis, and for guys, urethritis and similar symptoms. That's a heartfelt life hack from me to you.
