My boyfriend is 19 and his penis size is around 6 inches. We're wondering if there's a natural way to increase it. Could you give us any advice on this?

Penis size is largely determined by genetics, and at 19, most men have reached their full physical development. Natural methods such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and managing stress may improve overall health, but there are no proven ways to significantly increase size.
