impotence?

About four years ago I was having sex with my girlfriend and while re-inserting I missed, causing my entire penis to go 90 degrees at the base.  Ever since then I have been able to fold it over to that side when it is erect, while I cant fold it to the other side without feeling strong resistance (cartilage?).  Anyway, since then I have noticed an almost unnoticeable but apparent curvature towards the side that it "broke" pointing towards, and it seems as though it has been more difficult since then to maintain an erection.  I have read about broken penises, but not this low on the base. (that is, it seems to be right where it meets with the testicles and the prostate).

A few things:  firstly, the experience of breaking the penis is a bit hazy, and I can only speculate as to whether i heard a popping sound or anything else, but i do recall my girlfriend saying, "oh god! Im so sorry!! are you ok?!" and we stopped for a few seconds.  

There have been times when i have become totally frustrated and unable to maintain an erection while masturbating even with it in my hand, while at other times there doesnt seem to be any problem at all, and there have been many occasions that i wake up with an erection, but not EVERY day, is this all bad?

thanks for your help

i'm 21.. im supposed to be in my sexual prime.. and i have had the same EXACT problems.. fully erect, but my penis (hard or not) will still seem to fall. i have had a few times while during sex i lose my erection.. i think its because of broken cartlige by the base.. i have to physically hold my penis by the base to make it stand straight up. this is pretty embarrasing.. if u find any answers to this PLEASE let me know

ive read and read about broken penises, but none of the cases seem to mirror mine.  The thing is is that it seems that the whole penis itself is detached on one side or something, and i dont know, this might even be normal?

Also, I have noticed some pain in the shaft (seemingly in the urethra) during masturbation, and sometimes with pornography and anyhting I simply cannot get an erection at all.  Even further, I never use lubricants during masturbation.  I lightly grasp the skin around the penis and move it up and down, could this have caused tissue damage?
