A member asked:
Could masturbation affect your height or affect your growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is just one more untruth that somebody made up to frighten you for their own dark purposes. It won't make you short, hairy, smooth, infertile, insensitive, a sexual cripple, or unspiritual. Generally it's a good thing that prepares you for adult life's thoughts and roles. If you're obsessed with erotica and missing appointments and other good things in life, your physician can help.
