I think a downward curve makes the whole thing look a lot bigger (90% of the 'huge flaccid' shots we see out there are just guys with down-pointing erections.. like that scene in 'Hall Pass'.)
Still, I think my upcurve gives it more of a 'ready for action' kind of look. I feel like it's a lot easier to control position + pressure of an upcurve than anything else, since the tendons on the penis pull it up. Pushing right in to a fornix/gspot it way easier with some kind of curve, and I think I can put more pressure on it with an up than a down.

I'm hesitant about any question of what's 'better' when it comes to the human body. So long as you're healthy and functional a bigger/average/smaller/upcurved/straight/downcurved one can all be better suited for some things and less suited to others.

I agree with ShannonH about the downward curve making it look bigger, But I have an upward curve and my girl loves it. I think it all depends on who is on the receiving end haha

Totally agree. I'd say it's more like 99% though imo.

I personally think a downward curve is more of the "show-y" penis. It's easier to take angled pics or videos from the topside that make it look huge at nearly any size. That is why you see mostly downward curves in porn or the "omg" pics/vids.

Conversely, I think upward curves perform better sexually. It's my experience that they seem to get closer to rock hard and stay there longer. Also, from the underside, or when the guy is sitting down, they have the same "wow" factor that downward curves do from the topside... but it is much harder to capture that same factor repeatedly in pics and vids with an upward curve.

Another thing is the pseudo "standard" of measuring.

Downward curves have upward curves beat all day long when it comes to measuring exclusively along the topside. Upward curves lose at least and inch and most of the time more just by having the upward curve, whereas downward curves gain that inch or more (topside versus the bottomside).

Just like most of the "huge semi" pics are downward curves, so are most of the "huge measuring" pics. Most cocks that are tipping the 9" mark only do so because of downward curvature.

As everyone thinks their thing looks better, all upward think thats better and so do the downwards.
Im a downward and i think it looks better!
When it comes to sex its all about working your thing i think not the curve.

I agree that upward curves have a priapic, let's get going look to them. I curve down, and it's a mixed blessing. It's fantastic for standard position oral sex and doggie style, less great for 69ing. It straightens for penetration and has never been a problem. Mostly I like the feel of the curve when I'm hard. I like being unusually shaped, and the comments it gets.

Personally, upward curve looks and feels better. Downward curve is good for reverse cowgirl tho.

That is a females perspective. I had a bf who had a nice downward curve, it was the most amazing feeling. Having him slide in and out, with pressure on my prostate. I met him in a sex shop and we first starting having sex in the arcade booth. Not much room so we obviously were standing when fucking. It wouldn't take long for me to start oozing cum before I even orgasmed. It was the best sex I ever had, by far. If the guy had a upward curve , I would have to be on my back to have the same experience. So I would have never initially had that experience with him. My best experiences have been with downard curves.

There are really two issues here. The actual curve on the shaft. downward an "n"curve and upward a "u" curve. second, whether the shaft is above or below the horizontal when erect. we are all a combination of of those possiblities.

Most people are probably satisfied with their own curve. I am as mine is usually below the horizontal and a n curve. At times it can be above the horitzontal but still a n curve. that is an issue of muscle tone in the legs and pelvis I think.

I think a downward curve works best at hitting the g spot when used doggy. so maybe a u works better from the front?
