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. If there are concerns, consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice is always a good step.

I'm wondering if using coconut oil under the foreskin is a good idea for keeping things clean, especially to prevent smegma. If coconut oil isn't recommended, what other options are there that I can try? Just trying to figure out the best way to maintain hygiene down there.

Using coconut oil under the foreskin can actually lead to a buildup of smegma and increase the risk of infections. A better substitute for keeping the area clean is to use a mild, unscented soap and warm water during daily hygiene routines. Additionally, applying a thin layer of over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day can help prevent smegma buildup and maintain proper hygiene.
