Question 1

does masturbation stunt growth/potential height ?

Accepted Answer

No: Nor will it make you hairy, smooth, stupid, infertile, unspiritual, an unfit spouse, impotent, or any of the other scare stuff. This might be a great time to talk with an older adult with some common sense and life experience -- maybe even your same-sex parent.

Question 2

does masturbation stunts growth in teens? can someone still grow at 16 years old?

Accepted Answer

No.  And yes.: If the bone still has growth plate, it will grow even at age 16.  Different bones complete growth at different ages, but most long bones can still grow at age 16 in an otherwise normal person.

Question 3

my friend is quite concerned about his height growth and thinks that masturbation has negatively affected it? does masturbation stunt height growth?

Accepted Answer

No: Masturbation does not effect growth.  Unless one were so obsessed with doing it that failure to eat affected nutrition for a long period.  Hopefully that is never the case.

Question 4

please tell me, could prone masturbation stunt growth?

Accepted Answer

No: Prone and other types of masturbation do not stunt growth.

Question 5

masturbating 5 times a day,sedentary lifestyle,eating fast food,extreme mental stress,very frequent fevers,etc.in teenage and young age for several years will surely stunt growth or height or height,growth,etc. is purely a matter of genetics?

Accepted Answer

Stress: It sounds like a combination of environmental factors as well as genetic. It's rarely if ever a matter of one over the other. I would get a consult from your GP, as well as a psychiatric evaluation with psychotherapy to follow to help you through this.

Question 6

i masturbated 6 times daily since 13 .did that fuse my growth plates prematurely or release hormones that stunt height?i havent grown much.

Accepted Answer

No: There is no biologic harm from 6 times daily orgasm and ejaculation in a young male.  Boys tend to grow the most between ages 12 and 15. The sex drive is also developing. There are two main determining factors in a person's height: Genetics: 60-80%. Environmental, mainly good nutrition: 20-40%. I wouldn't worry about maturbating. Stay well:)

Question 7

i am now 19 and masturbated 7 times daily since 12.i only grew 2 cm since 13.did that fuse my growth plates or release hormones that stunt height?

Accepted Answer

No: Sexual activity of any sort  does not change your hormone levels or stunt growth. Some people stop growing earlier than others. The issue is primarily genetic with nutrition or health defects holding some back.

Question 8

i masturbated 6 times daily since 13.i am now 18.did that fuse my growth plates prematurely or release hormones that stunt height?i havent grown much

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't think so: Your growth plate fusing hormone levels are predetermined by a complex automated system in the brain. Your level of sexual activity does not change that, no matter what form it takes. Your expected final height is in your combined parental height +2,5 inches.  If your activity led you to skip good nutrition you could easily decrease your final height.

Question 9

does masturbating before puberty and a lot after puberty effect or stunt the growth of your penis size? masturbating from 12-16

Accepted Answer

No.: Masturbating is normal and the general rule is if it hurts, then do it less.   Anything up to that point has to do with available time, purpose of doing it, etc.

Question 10

when we masturbate for 3-4times in 24 hours(1 day),can it stunt our height growth?can it affect growth by testosterone level or anything?

Accepted Answer

: Masturbation will not stunt your growth. However, you need to engage in productive activities as excessive masturbation may not be good for your mental health.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health.
