Does masturbation stunt growth?

[ImTheDoubleGreatest!]

I know that nowadays, people say that the old myth of jacking off stunting growth is a myth. But I wonder there is some truth to it because there’s still WAY too many personal anecdotes saying otherwise. I kinda noticed it in a way too. I went from 5’4 to about 5’7 at (in about 3 weeks somehow). That’s also the age when I began to jack off lol. Since then, I grew to 5’11. Now I’m happy that I’m at least average in height. But I obviously do wish that I was taller, like everyone else. Plus, when I look at myself in the mirror, I feel like I should be a little bit taller relative to the shape of my torso. There are also a couple other experiences that I have had with it that I don’t wish to explain right now regarding height, but I was wondering on what you guys think?

Jacking off is the same as sex with a girl, minus the girl.

Building too much muscle mass before the bones have finished growing I'm pretty sure stunts upward growth in the early years. I have a few mates who stacked on the muscle when we were at school and would probably be taller if they had waited until they were in their early twenties.

Jacking off.... Nah. There are plenty of tall guys in the world, and they all jack off. Muscle growth may be different, but height is predominantly genetically determined most of the time.

Well lifting being able to stunt your growth really depends on your intensity. How hard and how often you lift will affect it. I swear part of it is mental too. Like if you put yourself in a state of mind where you feel like you MUST get stronger, then your body will put the nutrients into building muscle rather than growing taller. But otherwise, not really.

What I'm saying is these guys were body building by age 16. That's not healthy.

Hard to say, I have no answer jsut hypothesys.

Jacking off too much release prolatice in a high amount, prolactine influence other hormones as testosterone for what I recall.

Also jacking off usually leaves someone lacking micronutrients like zinc which are necessary for overall growth not only in height.

I would say that overdoing many lead to a non optimal growth but masturbation itself as long as within a limited range should not create problems.

Also if you stay awake till night to spank the monkey and lose precious sleep its a problem, growth hormones and test require a decent amount of sleep.

I was 14 when I knew what I was doing in the weight room. I never felt it did anything to me unless I focused super hard on it.
