A member asked:
Does masturbation from a young age "e.g 10" trigger early puberty, therefore causing premature epiphysial closure and shortness compared to peers when hitting 18 years? or does it have no effect on a person's height or the age which puberty starts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Masturbation at a young age does not trigger early puberty, or cause short stature. Puberty begins in boys between the ages of 9 and 14 and lasts about 5 years. A person's height is influenced the most by their genetics (parents heights), nutrition (protein especially) and lack of repeated illness.
