Question 1

is masturbation before puberty a bad thing. will it stunt one descent into puberty or have any negative effects upon a child, etc.?

Accepted Answer

: Masturbation can be a bad investment of time if it takes the person away from productive activities and social interaction. It has negligible effect on the body. Myths are common suggesting an effect on final height, vision, hair growth, future fertility and many more. They remain myths.

Question 2

i am currently 19 and feel as if i have been the same height since i was 14. i think i may have hit puberty a little late as i did not ejaculate from masturbation until the end of 8th grade when i was about 14. is it still possible to grow taller?

Accepted Answer

Maybe/not: Height growth stops when the growth plates of bones close. An x-ray of your wrist/hand could verify their status/potential for more growth. In males most close by ~17-18. Failure to grow more than an inch in the past year suggests you are at or near the end. Once the growth plates close there is nothing you can do to increase height.

Question 3

hello. i want to attempt to get into a serious relationship, but im not confident that im sexually capable. i first hit puberty age 19, i had a wet dream and ejaculated. after that i got curious and attempted to masturbate and that ended me up having pa

Accepted Answer

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

Question 4

when i masturbate afterwards i feel that it can cause serious problems when i go through puberty is there anything at even the smallest that happens?

Accepted Answer

No effects: Masturbation does not affect hormone levels or any other biologic function in any way. Remember, sex is like bridge. If you don't have a good partner, than you need a great hand.........

Question 5

could masturbating cause early puberty?

Accepted Answer

No: It is more a reflection of puberty than a cause.

Question 6

can masturbation boost you height or puberty  ?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation: won't make you taller &amp; it won't make puberty more powerful.

Question 7

can frequent masturbation cause puberty to occur?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: I am not aware of any scientific data to support.

Question 8

will masturbation help me grow height during puberty?

Accepted Answer

: No it does not help with that.

Question 9

hey, im 14, a teen who does masturbation by the way i reached puberty when i was 12 or 13 and im still the same height (172cm) if i stop masturbation will i get more taller (im masturbating since i reached puberty)?

Accepted Answer

Diet &amp; lifestyle: Masturbating should not have an effect on how tall you grow. Important considerations in helping your body &amp; mind meet optimal potential in development are diet &amp; lifestyle. Make certain you eat three good meals daily, take a multiple vit/mineral supplement for teens daily,  avoid alcohol, smoking, illicit drugs &amp; risky sex. Exercise regularly. And get routine medical &amp; dental exams!

Question 10

does masturbating speed up/start puberty in young girls?

Accepted Answer

: Neither....masturbation is normal for people at many ages and has nothing to do with bringing on or speeding up puberty. It's quite common during the pubertal years, but children often masturbate prior to that, as do adults.
