Could masturbation reduce or stunt height growth?

Well, it may sound stupid to many of u but i think based on my own experience and some simple facts, it could be possible.

Ok, let me tell u some about myself :
I'm 20 and I started masturbating almost more than 6 years ago. I can clearly remember that I was having my growth spurt before and maybe some months after I started fapping and then the growth process slowed down significantly and it almost stopped but back then I didn't care much about it, cause u know I was a kid and I thought there is still lots of time until I became like 17 or so and I came to myself and saw that almost 3 years has passed and I haven't grown as much as I thought, so I decided to quit this and start working out ( cause I used to be a video gamer and spent most of my time behind the PC). I held my streak to almost 3 months and unbelievably, during that period, I had grown almost an inch which was pretty much for me. But unfortunately I grew cocky and I thought that I could control masturbating and limit it to once a month which I obviously couldn't and then I stopped growing again.

Now let's talk about some facts:
When u ejaculate, u lose some certain nutrients which are not very easy to recover like Vitamins B6, B12, and E; Calcium; Magnesium; Selenium; and Zinc,(There could be more) and these mostly are the main ingredients for height growth and also ur testosterone level decreases which is also the most important factor for height growth. So every time my body wanted to get some "juice from the cellar", it would find it maybe half-empty so it couldn't use the required amount to send them to the cartilages, joints and bones.

Well now some of u may say: "WTH, that's total rubbish, if that's true then almost all males should be dwarfs", I'm not saying it would stop u from going 5' to 6'2" but that it may restrict u from reaching ur potential and peak height. Maybe if u were supposed to reach 5'11", instead u would end up 5'9.5" and nobody'll ever know if he could gain maybe 2 inches more, U know what I'm saying?

I know that there are a lot of factors effecting ur height like obesity, lack of activity, Malnutrition, smoking and etc., but based on what I experienced, I would say that masturbation could also be one.

I've also have had some other side effects from masturbation which I'm sure many wouldn't even believe, like eye floaters which still exist and kinda annoy me but I've learned to ignore them. What I'm saying is that the effects are different on any human being.

Just keep in mind that I don't mean to impose my opinion to anyone but to hear others' experiences and ideas and have a healthy conversation about it, I could even be proven wrong, so feel free to enlighten me.

 

Than you so much man both for the reply and the compliments.
Oh so the eye floaters are the result of masturbation, figures. Do u happen to know, if they will fade away over time? cause years ago, I visited a doctor and she said that it's not something to be scared of until it really interferes with ur perception, and that there is no simple medication for it yet(at least in our country ) but it could be operated which is not recommended until it's really necessary. She said, I should stop rubbing my eyes and maybe they'll go away eventually( I really hope so ), so I really wanna know if there is sth that could help with my problem that u happen to know?

But let's talk about the height matter now. Don't we lose sperm when we ejaculate? Isn't our sperm made of many nutrients, critical for our height? Don't we deplete it by over masturbating? Don't we decrease our testosterone level?
Then how couldn't that deficiency have some impact over our height?

Again, thank you for ur time.

 

Thank u for ur reply.

I've also heard about voice tone changing but I'm kinda sure about the muscle mass thing cause I've been working out and since I've started Nofap, I can definitely see that I've gained some mass.

I can see that the link u posted, shares my opinion about height. And I've also seen some other websites supporting this matter. But still, this is just one article and there is already a lot of objections against this topic(I don't know but maybe we want to deny the fact that we could be taller???).

 

Thank u for taking the time to write this.
Well I can see what u're saying but i gotta say that even our body has a limit and if we move beyond that it may not be able to recover as well as before. Think of it as if there is a water source in a small city that regenerates itself everyday and the population in that city is one hundred, so with this situation there is balance in the city but if the population becomes x2, x3 or x10, then definitely there would be water shortages which inevitably will lead to many problems, what I'm saying is that if we don't learn to consume in a way that we could hold a balance, we're gonna have problems.
So if our body can't get enough zinc or calcium then it cannot make enough bone structures and it could cause disorders in our height process.
I'm sure that most of us know that what matters here is keeping a balance and there few people that could hold that balance, but I'm not in that group, cause if I wanna limit my masturbation to once every 3 weeks then I would get that sweet taste over my tongue again and then I can't hold my self for another 3 weeks thus I would do it even tomorrow, that's why I'd rather not do it at all than to do it less, cause I wanna forget how it feels and I thinks that it is the only way for me to make it.
I'm not anti-anything but I'd rather not do them and cause I feel better not doing them then I would recommend it to others too.

Btw, thanks again for ur nice words.

 

Will definitely look in to it.

 

Well I guess it doesn't work in this case .
6'6 is super tall ( can u share some?). I am 5'8 and I've always had problems with my height (still do) and I always think with myself that if I hadn't done this crap, at least I would've been 5'9 or 5'10. I guess this has been one of the main factor of my sociality issues cause when I'm with others (especially in the gym) I feel towered most of the time and when I walk by a tall girl I feel like "Tyrion", so I always wish there could be some way, so I could maybe gain an inch or maybe more and believe I'm working my ass off in the gym and outside during the past 2 months and I hope that maybe exercising would increase my testosterone level and help me a bit.
I guess we both have height issues but kind of different .
I really liked this part of ur words : (in a world that mocks physical differences like they mean something)
And also thsi quote from @Jodo Kus : inner growth is the most important thing of all
(I don't know why I can't tag anyone. What am I missing?)

Thank u for sharing ur thoughts.

 

Thx for sharing ur experience IGY.

Yeah u're right cause genetics plays the major part in it, I guess I could be wrong and the effect may not be tangible.
This is good, reading different experiences.

 

Thx for the thought.

Exactly, that's what I'm saying cause u know many times knowledge denies the yesterday knowledge and introduces another fact.
Like the time that scientists thought that the universe is shrinking but now they're sure it's expanding. And like u said it may not be understood even by the brightest or maybe they're not very interested into this topic yet but who knows, maybe we'll learn some interesting stuff in the new future that could make many people shocked.
let's put it this way, nowadays many doctors and psychologists think of masturbation as something pretty normal and even healthy so science says :"KEEP MASTURBATING", but why have we joined Nofap? Is it because we want to go against the flow? No. We have joined here because even though we're not experts but we have experienced so much trouble fapping that we no longer want to listen to "MASTURBATION IS HEALTHY" thing.
So u see,(most of the time) experience is much more authentic that what the science says, cause who can deny what we have experienced, it's like someone says that sun is black.
I'm not saying this would affect everyone's growth (human beings have different DNAs) like the fact that many people are more immune to a certain disease but others are not but what's I'm saying is maybe it could prevent us from reaching our peak height. For example if I hadn't fapped, maybe instead of 5'8, I could have reached 5'9 or 5'10. But I'm also sure that some people's genetics are so strong that this could not or not have affected their growth.

Like to hear more thoughts.

 

Hi @Plshelp , thx for sharing ur experience.
Well, it could be puberty or it could be a sign that not fapping would help you grow. I had the same experience during which I grew an inch. ( It was a 3 months streak)
