Lenster - James, and your girlfriend, are right in terms of his advice. The most important thing is to get started on treatments rather than wait to see how things pan out. I can appreciate your concerns about sex and masturbation during the activate stage of peyronie's and can only say that you have to listen to your body. If possible, get on pentox and CoQ10 ASAP and start on a mechanical therapy (ved or traction). Once you can tell the condition is stable then it might be time to re-evaluate.
