A member asked:

Will watching excessive porn or excessive masturbation cause nutrients essential for height growth to be thrown away via ejaculation?urgent!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Ejaculation through self or partner sex has NO important effect on growth, development or nutrition. Many of these ideas are myths generated to push conformity to the "masturbation is bad " rule.
