Could masturbation reduce or stunt height growth?

    No, it doesn't. You're not going to grow taller because you stop masturbating. These claims are pretty much baseless and have no serious scientific backup to them.

    Masturbation has nothing to do with growth. There's no actual, verified scientific evidence to correlate between the two. You MIGHT grow a little bit more over the next couple of years, but even if you won't it has nothing to do with the fact that you're masturbating.

    That being said - if you're an addict and it has affected your in a bad way, you should definitely quit both P and M altogether, regardless of growth.

    The burden of proof is on you. There's pretty much nothing to indicate that it has an affect on growth.

    I agree excessive masturbation and porn use are definitely bad and that addicts should stop PMO and MO indefinitely, but to come up with such ridiculous reasons to stop masturbating...I get it, it gives some people more motivation via scaring them, especially gullible teens. But throwing these kind of statements with no scientific proof to back you up is pretty much lying and scaring people for nothing. Addicts need to learn self-control and understand why PMOing is bad for them, not to be scared into not jerking off and having false expectations of suddenly getting taller.

    First, don't write a full comment in caps-lock, it's very uncomfortable to read.
    Second - don't feel shit about it, because again - there's no connection between the two. You wouldn't have grown 3-4 more inches by not masturbating. Your height sounds about right considering the heights of your mom and dad. It has a lot to do with genes, nutrition and general health, not masturbation.

    My dad is 5'11 and I'm 5'5-5'6, trust me this feels way worse because I actually had bad sleep and nutrition habits and it is partially my fault. You masturbating is not the reason to why you're not 6'.

    Talk about foolish comments...
    My porn abuse began later in life and I masturbated once a day and twice like once every other month. Fact is, most people masturbate and some people who masturbate or have intercourse on a daily basis peaked at their normal heights.

    I'm not lying, I'm actually telling the truth. There's no scientific evidence to correlate between the two. The burden of proof is on you.
    In my case I had very bad sleep habits and had very bad nutritional habits which DO correlate with growth.

    Talk about fucking lies, people like yourself who spread this absolute utter bullshit that has no evidence to back it up are one of the worst parts of this community. You spew utter nonsense and then stick your fingers in your ears and act as if there's nothing to dispute your bullshit. How you also ignored me mentioning my BAD SLEEPING AND EATING HABITS and jumped the shark right off the bat calling me a living proof is a great example of how people like yourself just ignore every other variable unless it's masturbation.

    Really doubt that masturbation has any effect on height. I haven't heard of a study that supports it. Also me personally, I started masturbating at age 10-11. I was extremely skinny, didn't eat a lot, had bad habits which made my posture bad and didn't do sports. Still I'm around 5 feet 11 - 6 feet while my dad is 5 feet 9. My brother is also around my height. We are taller than both our grandparents and father and uncle. But the brothers of my other grandfather are all tall, so I think that's where we got our height from. Height is based on genes, but I believe nutrition, habits and sleep all contribute somewhat to it. It just depends on the person how much. But still I think genes ultimately decide that, but you might not have your father's height genes.

    Do you have any males in your family who are of the same height as you? Like your mother's side? You might've gotten your height from there.

    My mother has 2 short brothers, around my eight, but also have 2 brothers(one died when I was very lttle, so I don't remember how tall he was exactly. Might have looked very tall to me back then)who are taller, around 5'9+-. On my father's side all the men are pretty tall. I'm 99.99% positive that my terrible sleeping habits and bad nutritional habits had a lot to do with my final height.

    Man i think it's all the same for me .....I also had terrible sleeping habits....almost everyday at 14 ....I slept like 5 hours and at 15 I started sleeping 3-4 hours and did so till late 17 until I realised this shit. I was severely skinny back then amd unhealthy.Now I sleep like 6 hours or smth.......believe me bruh.....it totally feels like my life has been wasted.......i clearly messed with my hormone level with my own hands.Im telling ya bruh..i have a few friends who told me that they fapped like 1-2 times a month ...Man and they have shorter parents than mine too and they are freaking 2-3 INCHES taller than me...feels like hell to be a midgetIm 100% sure excessive PMO combined with real bad sleep patterns caused shits to my height period.I take a ton of supplements now though.how much u slept though?

    But not because of just masturbation only of exercise and healthy eating

    When I started high school, I was one of the shortest boys in my year. Then I started masturbating at age 13 and began growing taller and taller! :eek: When I left school at 16, I was 6' 2" and around 18, I stopped growing at 6' 3". Go figure! ;)

    three of them were the same sort of height as my parents. But my father's mum was tiny. Probably, under 5 feet tall.
