The hourglass can look pretty pronounced at times, the middle section being maybe 3/4 as thick as the sections around it. The hourglassing mostly occurs only after a workout or while I'm working out if I start getting erect while running. It almost never occurs if I'm warm and relaxed, or if it does occur its miniscule, like 18/20 or 19/20 the size of the surrounding tissue.
Usually the only time it happens is after I run 4-6 miles, and try to erect myself shortly after my cooldown. The indention, or hourglass fills up within 30-60 seconds most of the time and my penis looks completely normal.
Does this sound like peyronnies disease, or as my friend put it, simply tougher skin in the middle that goes away when erect (and no problem). I consulted my doctor about this but he doesn't seem worried at all - I'm 20 years old. Will this sexually impare me later in life?

An abnormal curvature (bend) in the penis that occurs during erection is called
Peyronie's disease.
In Peyronie's disease (curvature of the penis), fibrous tissue develops on the tunica albuginea (the lining of the erectile bodies of the penis). The cause of fibrosis is not known.
The condition occurs in about 388 of 100,000 men. The fibrous tissue causes a bend to develop during erection that is painful and can make intercourse difficult or impossible. The condition is relatively uncommon and affects men between 40 and 60 years and older.
Symptoms may go away somewhat with radiation therapy or corticosteroid injections into the fibrous band of tissue. Verapamil, a medicine taken by mouth to treat high blood pressure, has been shown to improve the disease. An injectable form of the medicine is approved for the treatment of Peyronie's disease. Vitamin E and a medicine called Potaba (taken by mouth) are also sometimes used.
Shock wave lithotripsy has also been used to treat Peyronie's disease.
If medicine and lithotripsy do not help, and intercourse is not possible because of the curvature of the penis, surgery may be done to correct the curvature. However, such surgery carries a risk of impotence, and should only be done if intercourse is impossible.
