No: This is the invention of a single independent thinker with a small sample, and has found no acceptance in the mainstream medical community. Life is hard enough without people making you frightened about growing up. Most men consider this practice a good thing, learning about your mind & body in preparation for marriage & adult life. Ask a wise adult, your doctor, or maybe even dad.
