Ask Alison.

When a guy gets a boner is his penis supposed to go up or straight. Somone told me its a sign of cancer. :( Is that true? Or does it have something to do with age? Help please!!!!

Erections can point straight up, straight out, to the left, or to the right. Every guy is different, and unless his erections are causing him pain, then there is nothing to worry about.

Think of a penis as a snowflake: no two are exactly alike.
