I want expand my sexpower and strongness, length of my erectile organ

Dr. Deepak Kumar Soni

Ayurveda

Size doesn't matter of sexual satisfaction: The smaller organ has a much greater erectile capacity than the larger one. The size of the flaccid or erect penis has absolutely nothing to do with its pleasure-giving qualities. The vagina has a great deal of elasticity and it can adapt to any size of the male organ, be it large or small.
