Specializes in Infectious Disease

Masturbation: Your growth and height have absolutely nothing to do with masturbation, which is harmless no matter how often. However, 10 times daily certainly is a lot. If you are masturbating compulsively and it bothers you (other than your stature), you should discuss it with your doctor. But no worries about growth and stature.

Dr Ferguson and another doctor agreed
