1 in 300 Men Have Hypospadius: Do You?

WARNING: TMI

I thought this was fascinating, but it may be way more than you ever wanted to know about me, men, or penii. So don't say I didn't warn you. No photographs, though.

In normal men, the opening should be here (illustration):

Mine is more like here (illustration):

Anyway, I thought it was interesting. Maybe some other guys have this mild condition too, and never realized it, like I did. It doesn't bother me or look freaky, or anything. Just kind of interesting.

*That's kind of a freaky illustration, though, isn't it? Best I could find. Sorry.

shit, i have that too.

Freaks.

Heh. Meatus.

The only question is: should I join the circus?

that would make an interesting P.A....

In severe cases, it's usually operated on right after birth, so most guys wouldn't even know they ever had it unless it was a really mild form that didn't require an operation. So for adult men, it's more of just a curiosity.

makes the old resevoir tip a little useless, does'nt it?

I had a cousin who had surgery for it when he was about 8 yrs old. Not sure why ther waited so long, but yeah, not unusual.

I've heard of that, but I've never encountered it.

Interesting.

My mother told me once that my father has that I think. And that they didn't circumcise him because of it.

Talk about TMI. I almost died from the amount of oversharing.

Why operate?
Does it affect anything?

Does anyone else get the weird feeling that the penis in that picture is being pulled in all different directions by wires shoved through it?

Mine's weird-looking enough already, thanks.

If the hole is grossly misplaced, it could cause some big problems during urination.

this whole sentence just sounds soooo wrong...

You're weird, Keith. Carry on.

Wow.

oh yea...things like that happen all the time.....epispadious aswell...it would be like your cock is upside down

I had a roommate that claimed he had a normal hole and one on the bottom and sometimes they both worked. Never cared enough to confirm it though.

Yeah, I remember Bradley Collins in first grade had that in show-and-tell.

Chopstick accident?

so?, do you have to sit to pee? or have to aim up? or does it not make a differance?

Doesn't make any difference for me. Like I said, mine was mild enough that I never thought about it (despite seeing lots of porn) until my wife brought it up.
