Does masturbation stunt your growth?

[Byzantine Prince]

Is there any evidence that masturbation stunts one's growth?

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

My dad always said to me that masturbation would stump my growth and make me go blind.

I replied "I'm over here shorty!"

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

I think this soundly falls into the category of Old Wives' Tale. How could I be 6' tall otherwise?

[Byzantine Prince]

What if you could have been 6'6?

My brother never jacks off and he's 2 or 3 inches on me even though he's only 13. That's why I'm confused.

2 or 3 inches in which direction?

Well, I'm the tallest bloke in my family for a couple of generations, so I'd say it's not true. Unless, we've all had our growth stunted...

[Byzantine Prince]

What I want to know is, and I hope someone can answer this seriously, what effect does semen have once it's too old to used and get's re-absorbed by the body?

Like does semen have any real value that when re-absorbed helps growth?

Or is it that the semen get's spent up then you need to make it more, and so you waste valuable vitamins, etc, that you need to grow?

[Grey_Fox]

Biggest load of crap, as it is basically sex without the woman. Has sex ever stunted people's growth? I think not.

[RabidGibbon]

Being four foot high at 25 I'd have to say yes.

[Samurai Waki]

yes. Just a myth to scare off the kiddies.

[Blodrast]

I have proof that it's exactly the opposite !!
I was the shortest kid in class in 9th grade, with about 5'2'' (157 cm)... all girls were taller than me...and I got to my current height (about 5'11) in less than 2 years...

Now, can you guess when I reached puberty ?

[Grey_Fox]

23?

[Grey_Fox]

I also hear that you can get pain in your testicles if you do not ejaculate often enough, at least when you are younger (I believe Americans call it 'blueballs' or something).

[Samurai Waki]

excess seamen is usually taken care of in a wet dream in a young man. There is quite a bit of energy in seamen, wich is why a man feels tired after sexual activity. As far reabsorbing it back into the body, I have no idea.

[Grey_Fox]

Semen is reabsorbed back into the testes if it is not ejaculated.

[King of Atlantis]

BP, I really dont see any reason to think it stunts growth. People are only getting taller and the internet has made some things much more frequent..

[Blodrast]

ahem, nitpick: a man feels tired after sex not because there is energy in semen, but because of a release of a specific hormone/enzyme...

it's normal for guys to feel tired after they ejaculate, as the hormone oxytocin is released, inducing that "sleepy" feeling.

A males body gets rid of excess sperm via wet dreams. Yes they serve a purpose. Whether you deposits them in a female, milk it yourself, or squirt in the bed your little soldiers come out evetually. Also until your like 17 you don't have much sperm. And they have NO growth hormones in them. If your shorter than your brother (I am shorter than my brother by 3 inches and older by 22 months) blame your putuetary gland. That is what makes you grow taller and/or wider.

[Beirut]

My brother never jacks off...

...and you know this how?

[Samurai Waki]

he should probably get that checked by a doctor, thats not healthy at all. NEVER?!?

[Strike For The South]

BP are you sure he isnt dead

That is not correct, at least not as far my experience with the matter goes. I have successfully stopped masturbating completely for a whole year(in grade 3 I believe) and no wet dreams. Why you ask? Because I thought it was evil or something, but then I started doing it again because it was so damn necessary. Sperm first apears when one is 12 or 13 and by 14 it get's as much as it is ever gonna get not more when your are 17 unless you are really late in pubirty.

As for growth not being related you make a good point. What can I do to change that though? I want to be taller, I hate being 5'7" and a half!

Boo-hoo I'm 5' 8" and some change, man up and deal with it. Growth hormones, only way your getting taller. Your what 14-17, your done growing up (out is a different story though). If you could get hold of some it might work. But it would be risky to say the least. Also what I said about sperm and wet dreams is mine own experience. And your ability to produce semen does increase with age (again from my own experience).

...and you know this how?

He lives in the same house with him, possibly even the same room. Same reason my brother knows I choke le chicken and that I know he prefers to sleep nude (I still have nightmares ).
