Can Late Puberty, Short Stature With Less Public Hair Be Due To Excessive Masturbation?

Hi!
So I have a very serious question. I'm 14 years old and i've been masturbating quite a lot. Probably before I've been producing sperm. So my question is, does masturbation stop height? I'm 5,3 and i asked my dad if it does because I'm short. He said that he hit puberty fully when he turned 17 and he's about 5,8. I barely have any pubic hair on my penis. They are most likely strands. Thanks!

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Masturbation has nothing to do with the posture or growth of a human being. Masturbation can not harm health. You are just 14 and pubic hair is supposed to be strands. When you grow beard, the pubic hair also will become black. You will grow in height upto the age of 22 or so and you are already 5.3. I am almost sure that you will be at least 6 feet at the age of 22. Wait it to happen and do some pull ups every day and have nutritious food.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
