Does Excessive Masturbation Cause Stunted Growth?
Can any experts help me?Will excessive masturbation stunt height growth or prevent one from maximising one’s growth potential? I have been masturbating for 5 times a day since 11.I am now 18.Some folks think so like a John Edwards who is a Research Analyst and project manager.The quote below is by him. “ You will find many people and doctors saying masturbation is a harmless activity, but it based of inconclusive medical research. You never know that in future the same medical science may say masturbation is harmful. Then people and doctor.s will also say it is harmful. “ Is he telling the truth?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Masturbation is physical activity with no deleterious effect on growth or sexual potention. However, excessive masturbation is not good.
Excessive indulgence can lead to wastage of time, loss of focus from other important activities, lack of contact with friends and family etc.
Thus, excessive indulgence is not advised.
Thanks and take care
