The shape of the penis may worry some men. Indeed, many boys, especially the younger ones, are complex about the shape of their penis and are even convinced that they have a deformed penis. However, rest assured there are different types of yards and this is completely normal. Here is an overview of the possible penis shapes.

The different penis shapes
Before we even talk about size, let's see the shape. An American gynecologist looked into the matter a few years ago. He had counted 4 types of yards. And then more recently, a British expert reopened the case.
According to him, there would rather be 7 different types of penis. Do you think you have a deformed penis? These different categories could reassure you (source).
Form 1: Cucumber
Men who fall into this category have sex that is slightly above average in size and girth. They are thick and uniform sexes: that is to say that the base is practically as wide as the end.
His measurements are rather advantageous, especially in erection. If the shape of the penis does not seem to affect the quality of sexual intercourse, men with this shape of penis tend to be less complexed and to feel more reassured.
Thus, this factor can affect the man's confidence and thus promote his sexual performance (source).
Shape 2: Sausage
If the cucumber penis has, according to most men, the ideal shape and size of penis, then the sausage is the most widespread. It has the same characteristics as the cucumber penis: it is uniform and rather stocky.
However, it is not longer than the average penis size. This is a standard penis. There are no studies relating this shape of the penis to the quality of sexual intercourse.
Shape 3: The Hammer
Some also call it the mushroom. This is a sex whose body is thin and the glans rather wide. There are different degrees, in some cases the difference between the base of the penis and the glans varies enormously.
To the point where erection is made difficult: the base is too thin to be able to support the weight of the glans (source). However, this is a fairly rare case of deformed sex.
Most cases of hammerhead penis do not cause any difficulty in sexual life or penetration. Men who fall into this category simply need to take care to gently penetrate their partner.
Shape 4: Banana
The banana-shaped penis is a penis whose morphology is curved. Contrary to what those in this category tend to think, the twisted penis affects between 10 to 20% of men.
This curvature is usually not bothersome during sex. On the contrary, the banana penis stimulates areas of the clitoris that other penises do not reach.
Most of the time, it is simply a hereditary morphology, without any seriousness. However, if the curvature appeared spontaneously and progresses by getting worse, it is better to consult a health professional such as a urologist or a sexologist.
Indeed, it may be Lapeyronie's disease. In this case, the curvature can reach 90 degrees and can have consequences on the health of the patient as well as favor the appearance of sexual dysfunctions such as erectile dysfunction or libido disorders (source).
Form 5: The cone
The cone-shaped penis concerns few men. It is a narrowing from the base to the glans. In extreme cases, the tip of the penis does not exceed that of a pencil lead and prevents the expansion of the glans. This deformed sex can therefore be problematic during the sexual act.
Very often, the subject has phimosis (source). This is a band of skin that forms around the glans in uncircumcised people. In childhood, phimosis is normal and common, it tends to disappear over time. However, in some cases, the skin does not resorb and the glans remains caught under the skin.
Men who wish can go to the doctor and request a circumcision, in order to remove the foreskin (source). There are also topical treatments, such as steroid creams.
Shape 6: Pepper
The pepper-shaped penis is abnormally short and thick. Like a pepper finally. However, this deformed sex does not prevent you from having normal sexual relations, the penetration will simply have to be done gently.
The woman has many erogenous zones within 5 cm of the entrance to the vagina, not to mention all the external sensitive points (source). Nothing prevents the pepper penis from enjoying a fulfilling sexuality.
Form 7: The pencil
The pencil-shaped penis is the antithesis of the bell pepper penis: long and thin. Its circumference remains uniform, from the base of the penis to the glans which is generally round.
Men in this category generally have no sexual problems. If the circumference is not to their advantage, they can nevertheless venture into lands still unexplored for many men.
The deformed penis: a question of size more than shape of the penis?
As you can see, the penis doesn't just have one shape. But when a man talks about deformed sex, he sometimes refers to the size of his penis. Moreover, it is estimated that 45% of men are not satisfied with the size of their penis (source). Some even develop what is called: the locker room syndrome.
In any case, faced with this massive concern, scientists have endeavored to calculate the average size of a penis. Indeed, according to a study, the average size of the penis would be 13.1 cm (source).

There are also many men who are convinced they have a deformed penis because they think they have a micro-penis. However, this particularity concerns only 0.6 % of the world's male population.
Gentlemen, to be diagnosed with micropenis, your penis must measure less than 9.3 cm when erect (source). Thus, many men believe they have a small penis.
This complex can have strong psychological repercussions and lead to anxiety, depression and even sexual dysfunctions such as ejaculation disorders or impotence (source).
We strongly advise you, if this is your case, to consult a sex therapist. Indeed, this one will know how to listen to you and direct you towards a solution which is adapted to you.
