A member asked:
Is masturbation before puberty a bad thing. will it stunt one descent into puberty or have any negative effects upon a child, etc.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Masturbation can be a bad investment of time if it takes the person away from productive activities and social interaction. It has negligible effect on the body. Myths are common suggesting an effect on final height, vision, hair growth, future fertility and many more. They remain myths.
