About Janet N
Expertise
I know that many men, especially younger men, have many questions about whether or not their penis size is "adequate". I see many of these question boards filled with questions like "am I big enough?" "Will I get bigger?" etc. I can give you straight answers on what is "normal".

Experience
I'm a former registered nurse, and mother of two sons. Spent twenty years working in pediatrics.

Education/Credentials
BSN (BS Nursing) degree.

ANSWER: Hi Matthew,

You're actually already average size for a grown adult.  You may continue to grow, or you may have already reached your adult size.  Everyone matures at a different rate.  You may grow longer and thicker, or you may not, but you're already at a good size, so don't worry.

A doctor is absolutely allowed to answer any question that you have about your body.  Many men point either to the left or the right, it's normal.

I'm sorry that you've been worrying about this, but anxiety among men about their penis is normal.  It sounds like you don't have anything to worry about, though :)

QUESTION: as i already is twisted, it points the right and its twisted about 1/4-1/3 of 90 degres, im worried if a girl will be disgused by the way it looks(the deformedy), so i wanna ask is it ok  to ask a good friend whos a girl if girls will be discusied about it.......tanks so much for helpin me out, im really gratefull

Answer
Hi Matthew,

I see, it sounds like you're saying that the head of your penis is twisted either clockwise or counter-clockwise when erect.  That doesn't sound to me like anything to be concerned about, I don't think it would be something that would disgust me.  As far as asking your friend, I don't know what your relationship with her is like.  If you think that she might be open to it, maybe it would ease your mind.

Janet
