I'm 18 and I think I might have ED, but I've never seen anyone else's erect penis. How hard should an erect penis be?We've been asked this question a number of times. A picture is worth a thousand words. Here are pictures of fully erect circumcised and uncircumcised adult penises. The same uncircumcised penis is shown with and without the foreskin retracted. Yours may be longer, shorter, fatter or thinner and may lie anywhere from close to your belly to horizontal or even point slightly downward when erect. If you have a foreskin it may cover the head when erect or not, depending on how long the foreskin is. If you're uncircumcised you should be able to retract your foreskin fully and recover the head easily and without pain when you're erect (if not, then see a urologist). Your penis may curve in any direction and still be normal unless the curve is so severe it prevents intercourse or causes pain. Everyone is different. When fully erect, your penis should be very firm and almost impossible to bend in the middle without pain. As the erection reaches its peak the glans (head) will become quite rigid and its surface may become shiny (see first picture). In general, a very large penis doesn't become as rigid as a smaller one, but again, we're all different. Also, a penis that's long when flaccid doesn't gain a lot in length when erect, but a smaller flaccid penis can more than double in size when erect. In case you're interested, the average penis is between 5 and 6 inches when erect, measured along the top surface from pubic bone to tip. Those in the pictures are probably a little above average.
 
But there are solutions...
