About that...: Normal men, women, boys, and girls masturbate (it's universal). It isn't harmful, as the body goes through similar effects during regular sex with a partner (but too much of anything may become a problem). Masturbation does NOT stunt height, cause hair loss or gray hair, make you weak, create heart problems, lower testosterone, affect virginity, lower fertility, change your weight, or damage eyes.

No correlation: There is no effect of masturbation on growth or height. Your Height is determined by your genetics (boys=male parent height) (girls=female parent height). Other factors that determine height are Nutrition (protein=increased growth), lack of chronic diseases and lack of serious infections/injury.
