Taller?: Sexual activity can cause a variety of problems, but it will not stop you from growing. Most 17 year old boys are essentially done growing. It's always good to practice safe sex, maintain a healthy balanced diet and get plenty of rest and exercise.

Healthy lifestyle: You are most likely to reach your tallest potential height by following a healthy diet, getting appropriate sleep & and remaining physically active.Nothing you eat or drink will add inches .Sexual activity has no effect.Most males are finished growing by 17.An xray of your wrist/hand could be studied for growth centers.If closed, you are finished,if open you couldgrow more.
