Can masturbating in teens affect height growth ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: The practice is near-universal. Anybody who's told you that entertaining yourself will prevent you from reaching your full height is wrong. I'm sorry that someone tried to deceive / frighten you.

No: However, the teenager should be encouraged to do something other than self-stimulate.
