This process isn't painful or anything, but my erection seems weak and curves downwards majorly, almost as if it's limp.Should I see a doctor or something?

Your parents may not be familiar with this concept, so be a patient patient and teach them to take charge of your health care (and theirs). An informed, proactive patient is his own best advocate.

Not every guy's erection is perfectly straight but if yours "seems week" that is a legitimate cause of concern and as she points out, it COULD be an indication of Peyronie's disease or some other treatable condition.Word of advice from a long-ago 15-year-old: doctors may be adults with medical training but not all doctors are comfortable answering detailed dick questions (and I had a million at your age) or talking about masturbation; if he tries to blow you off or dismiss your concerns and you're not satisfied with his answers, don't let him off the hook, keep pressing until you're satisfied, if not then it's time to ask your parents to find another doctor.You should be able to ask or tell a doctor ANYTHING and you should be have a discussion both of you are comfortable with; if he's a prude or has hang-ups or can't speak your (young teen) language, then as I said before, time to ask your parents to find another doc.If your current doc is a pediatrician, might be a good idea to suggest that your parents switch to another specializing in family medicine and/or adolescent health and ask them to schedule a new patient appointment including full physical exam. Since you're a minor, your parents are still legally responsible for your health care decisions but it's YOUR body and YOUR dick and you have every right to ask questions, no matter how seemingly trivial. Also agree with Abella in that it's good idea to experiment with different ways of masturbating, though I think your method's pretty cool, haven't tried that way in years, though maybe you should use a pillow or paper towels or an old T-shirt underneath as a cushion. Most guys just grab and yank using same hand and same grip every time with no variation is technique, speed or pressure.Best of luck, and as you get older you'll appreciate your right (or left) hand even more: it's always in the mood and never talks back.

 Seeing a Doctor is a really good idea.
But more than anything can you consider changing your preferred method of masturbation? your method does sound like it could be causing you some pain and that could result in some tissue damage.
Ask the Doctor to check whether there has been a little bit of nerve damage as well. Doctors can help in amazing ways so do not be embarassed about seeing an expert.
If you can afford to buy a fleshlight that might be safer and more satisfying than your method of masturbating.
Some guys are born with a slight curvature.
But in most cases it is trauma to the connective tissue in your member that results scar tissue and in inflammation and damage to the connective tissue within your member.
The tissue damage can result in this thickening, on one side. And that thickening can result in something called
Peyronie's Disease
Your Doctor can check it out and maybe suggest what might be possible to make it less painful. Though I do not believe there is a cure as yet. The main thing is to allow time for the inflammation to settle down.
