does masturbating stunt your growth?

Wouldn't it lengthen it over time?

As far as I know, there is no evidence to suggest that there is a correlation between ejaculation and weight gain.  Maybe you like to eat after you orgasm?

Possibly mental growth but it is doubtful that it stunts physical growth. Now if you combine consuming fast food with something else, possibly.

i dont know whats up with all the unnecessary words but i can tell you that masturbating doesnt harm your body. it makes your genitals stronger. youre building muscles in your pubic regions when you masturbate. when you finally do have sex, you'll probably last longer also.

Yes, when you diet and exercise properly, all the fat in you body turns in to sex muscle. It collects in you penis and will make your penis longer and thicker. The more you exercise the bigger it gets. Oops... my nose just grew an inch... call me Pinocchio!\n\nTerry

.the brain does not usually know the difference between masturbating,and actual intercourse. What makes sex good is usually an emotional thing for the person u/r with. Being male is a physical characteristic, so if u were born female, u still are.Anyway, masturbating is a poor way to have an  orgasm. Not only poor, but private and sick. I hope this does'nt't lead to problems with u/r life in the future, such as a pedophile in the making... so stop now, please.

I think it does....I started martial arts and being athletic when I was 10. I'm now 5'6 but I'm the shortest in my entire family!! My brother is 6'6....\n\nHowever the answer is No. There are many athletes and bodybuilders who are tall yet started lifting in their teens (for example, Shaquille O'Neal, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Michael Vick, Dave Draper and Arnold Schwarzenegger). Weightlifting being a growth stunter is a myth.\n\nThat is absolutely false. It is a complete myth that weightlifting stunts growth.\n\nRunning and jumping alone puts a force more than 5 times a person's weight on one legs. If a man is 200 lbs, he'd have to be squatting more than 1,000 lbs in order to be putting more stress on his legs than regular running or jumping would do. If running or jumping doesn't stunt your growth, neither will doing squats.\n\nWorking out and lifting weights should not affect your reaching your potential genetic height

I've heard that before as well, and that it also increases testosterone. That's why one of my old workout partners used to always tell everyone "You want a big chest? Do squats. Want big arms? Do squats." Neither has been absolutely proven.\n\nRegardless, once you're 28 you aren't growing anymore since your epiphyseal (growth) plates have fused. All HGH will do at this point is grow muscles and causes your organs to enlarge (not good!). In addition, some of your bones thicken, especially in the skull. This is why Arnold looks the way he does.

No,you will reach your near maximum height in you teens and then slow down until you finally stop growing. The onlt stunting that may occur is that you won't build up as much body fat,just try to keep the muscle to body fat ratio in check. Nothing wrong with being fit and trim,but I'd try not to look like those body builders.

NO, NOTHING WILL MAKE YOUR PENIS GROW. IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH PUBERTYA boy's penis grows little from the fourth year of life until puberty. Average prepubertal penile length is 4 cm. The prepubertal genitalia are described as Tanner stage 1. Within months after growth of the testes begins, rising levels of testosterone promote growth of the penis and scrotum. This earliest discernible beginning of pubertal growth of the genitalia is referred to as stage 2. The penis continues to grow until about 18 years of age, reaching an average adult size of about 7-14 cm.\n\nAlthough erections and orgasm occur in prepubertal boys, they become much more common during puberty, accompanied by a markedly increased libido. Ejaculation becomes possible early in puberty; prior to this boys may experience dry orgasms. Emission of seminal fluid may occur due to masturbation or spontaneously during sleep (commonly termed a wet dream, and more clinically called a nocturnal emission). The ability to ejaculate is a fairly early event in puberty compared to the other characteristics. However, in parallel to the irregularity of the first few periods of a girl, for the first one or two years after a boy's first ejaculation, his seminal fluid may contain few active sperm.\n\n::

It's ok, you have my permission to masturbate.  I promise you won't go blind or grow hair on your palms.  Plus, it's a great way to get to know your own body, which I think is the responsibility of each individual.  That way, when the "real" thing comes along, you'll be ready.  It's a natural part of life and growing up especially.  Have fun.\n\nFR

MASTURBATION MYTHS:\nfrom http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.html\n\nChances are, of all the things you've heard about masturbation, most of them were absolutely false. For some reason, misinformation surrounds masturbation like virtually no other topic. How do you spot a masturbation myth? One simple method is to ask yourself if the statement is also true of sexual intercourse. When you're masturbating, your body only knows it's getting sexually stimulated; it doesn't know by what means. So, for instance, if the question is whether or not masturbation causes acne, think of it this way: If it did, intercourse would also cause acne. In fact, neither masturbation nor intercourse cause acne.\n\nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.\nFACT:\nHow many people with hair on their palms have you seen?  \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.\nFACT:\nInternet scam artists have tried to invent a concept called "overmasturbation," insisting that you have to buy their expensive herbal pills in order to counteract the effect of masturbating more than a couple of times per week. But the pills have absolutely no effect — and masturbating once or twice a day will not make your hair fall out, or cause anything else they claim.\nMYTH:\nMasturbation is bad for your eyesight. \nFACT:\nMasturbation does not affect eyesight. This myth probably originated because boys often start having to wear glasses at about the same age they start masturbating. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes your penis to stop growing (or) to get bigger. \nFACT:\nMasturbation has no effect on penis size whatsoever. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes your testicles to shrink.\nFACT:\nAbsolutely false! It is true that if you're highly aroused, your testicles become engorged with blood and may appear slightly larger and heavier, and that masturbating will make them revert to normal. But they will absolutely not be any smaller than after the last time you masturbated. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes acne. \nFACT:\nIt doesn't cause acne. Like the eyesight myth, this is a case of two things that happen at the same time, even though one doesn't cause the other. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes sexually transmitted diseases. \nFACT:\nHello? "Sexually transmitted" means from one person to another. You can't give yourself a sexually transmitted disease! \nMYTH:\nIf you masturbate too much, you'll run out of semen and become sterile. \nFACT:\nSemen is a fully renewable resource. When you ejaculate semen, your body simply makes more — the same way your body makes more saliva after you spit. \nMYTH:\nPeople can tell whether you masturbate by how your penis looks.

Nope, it doesn't! Masturbation causes no adverse health effects at all- in fact, it's rather good for you! It's a fabulous way to relieve stress!\n\nThink about it this way: masturbation is pretty much exactly the same as sex when it comes to the way your body acts and reacts. If masturbation caused health problems then sex would too!

No, it will not stunt your growth.  It's great that you're exercising!  Keep it up!!

You can try to masturbate more often, perhaps even once a day. Then by exercising it, it will lengthen. Mine was a small one when I was fifteen, but by the time I was twenty one, it grew quite large.\n\nHey, I am just telling you. Don't take my word for it. Do it at your own risk.

Probably not.  Males don't usually stop growing until they're 21 and some still have a few spurts of growth up until 25.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com
