Unlikely to matter: Masturbation is a topic often frowned on by various segments of society ; seldom discussed openly. If done to the point that the individual does not have time ; energy to get involved in normal peer activities it is a negative. Any obsession detracts from your healthy emotional growth. However, the occasional event does not make any difference in your physical growth.
