First of all, I'm a boy aged 16 who has english as his THIRD language so I can make some mistakes while discussing with you all. Back to topic: I have started looking back at me like 3 years ago (when I started masturbating) and I found out that I have not grown more than 4cm. So I had doubts if masturbation slows down growth or not. I really care about my size, I'm not short at all and I don't want to stop growing right here, and I'm ready to STOP IT if it has any effect on this matter. Thanks for your attention, any help is really appreciated ☺
If anything, PMO didn't keep me from growing to 1.98m (6"6,7), and I've been PMOing for the last 25 years. If you're right, then I woudl've been in the fucking Guinness Book of World Records But P probably isn't the culprit here. Maybe the time you spend on P you don't spend on sports and walks and nature anymore, but rather on a screen. Which gives two things : - lesser exercise (how about linking growth to your metabolism vitality?) and - fucked up biorythms and sleep (screen time mess up with our sleep if we're not careful to stop using them a couple of hours before sleeping, which we don't do, and sleeping is one big factor in growth after genetic predispositions of course.)
I'm at 1.86m and I want to grow up more . I'm still doubtful if I should stop for 2/3 months and see what happens?
If you're 1.86m @ 16, like I was, you will continue to grow a bit until your twenties. But it will be much slower than what you've encountered up until here. And to be honest, it's a relief
And about that screens thing, yes I'm addicted to the damn phone and I spend lots of time sitting in front of that screen. If it's not the phone's screen it has to be the PC. But I had a tablet (Rip my first tablet) since I was 10 and it didn't affect anything. But last year a doc told me to stop sports because I have a small heart issue, I'm expecting some bad consequences after this...
If PMO made you short I'd be a pygmy... Get plenty of sleep, exercise often and avoid eating or drinking any junk. But at the end of the day DNA matters - you can only be as tall as your pre-programmed to be. As for your eyes - using a smart phone will damage them far more than masturbating ever could. If peer pressure allows get yourself a dumb phone and a smarter life.
Everyone of us uses a Phone, I find time to use it after 6 pm (when my school day ends) and I always have homework to do. So I end up with like 2h of phone usage daily (sometimes more than that). And huge thanks to everyone who spent some time posting a reply to my "Dumb" question (I'll have to say it. The question was actually STUPID)
