Penis Question

I have always wondered about my boyfriend's penis. He doesn't have that ridge near head of it. It's just like the whole thing is the shaft without the head seperated at all. No other guy I've been with looked like that so I wondered if it was normal or not. It doesn't bother me or anything, I am more just curious about why that ridge isn't there and if other guys were like that too. Any ideas?

Thanks

Penises are like noses and ears and fingers and toes. Everyone's are different. Most people's ears lay flat to their heads. Some people's stick out. They're both "normal". The point is that they can hear either way.

I've never seen anything like you describe, but for him, it's "normal". The big thing is whether or not it works, and I guess it does. The next biggest thing is that no matter how different or unique it is, it's not going to change. What you see is what you get.

Also, due to genetics, if you marry him and have a son, his might be exactly the same. (and his father's might look the same too!)

If your BF is not circumsized. the foreskin may make his penis look as if there is no ridge, because the foreskin covers it and hides it somewhat. When he is erect, the ridge should be visable.

I've never seen a guy whose penis was shaped like your bf and I've seen alot in gym showers etc. The ridge is called the glans and most guys have quite a prominent glans. I certainly do.

If by 'ridge" you're talking about the underside of the 'head', then I'd say he's uncircumsized, which (from the one I've seen) will mean that when soft there'll be excess skin near/around the head and no excess skin when erect.
