does mastubrating effect growth or perhaps health?

Sexuality i.e. being horny makes you more dynamic, active, so if you keep wasting your sexual energy on playing with yourself you end up to be a lethargic passive loser. It's better to get a playmate than playing by yourself. I might be wrong, too.

Of course not. In fact, it would enhance growth. Exercise (like weight lifting) in addition to a healthy diet will help you to grow.

Masturbation is natural for humans sexual growth and satisfaction.  \n   \n   Many religions may disapprove of this practice, but I would say that many health experts would state that's its perfectly normal for developing children and completely acceptable for adults.

No.  Penis size is dictated (if you'll excuse the pun) by genetics.  Blood volume influences the ridgedity and--to a lesser degree--size of an erection.  But the penis is spongy tissue, not muscle... so stretching and yanking and pulling on it won't make a difference--if it did, we'd all be porn stars by the time we left puberty.  Readers of Hustler would be revered the world over.  Since Creatine is used in the formation of muscular energy, it's like asking if painting your car red will increase sea level; they aren't related, so the answer's nope.

It has no effect on your eyesight whatsoever.  That particular myth was started in the days before medical research was done... well, scientifically, to be honest.  Everything from birth defects to syphilis to blindness and hairy palms have been ascribed to masturbation, and none of it whatsoever is true.  About a century's worth of research on the subject consistently shows there to be no deleterious effects whatsoever to masturbation except, of course, for slightly lowered sperm counts and seminal volume due to increased ejaculatory frequency... and that's only really important if you're trying to conceive a child, and curable by simply spending a day or two not engaging in sexual stimulation.\n\nThe rest of the "harmful effects" were just something the physicians of the time decided to start saying because they were prejudiced against the behavior (remember, these are the same doctors who said a woman's uterus had to be regularly bathed in male fluids or it would shrivel up and fall out... not the most learned or objective of people).

Geez...\n\nYahoo Answers needs to create a specific Abuse Report category just on questions about how men can increase the size of their sex organs.

Masturbation  allows a healthy way to express & explore your sexuality and to release sexual tension without all the associated risks of sexual intercourse. Health professionals generally agree that this private touching is a natural, normal mode of self-exploration and sexual expression.So there is no need to feel guilty or shame after the excitement of the moment has passed.

Growth depends on other factors as well, like nutrition and environment. When I started high school, there was a pair of identical twin brothers in my class. One was a three-sport athlete, the other smoked a lot (which depletes nutrients). By the time we graduated four years later, there was a six inch difference in their heights and you had to look carefully to see that they were even brothers.\n\nI have absolutely no idea about their 'everythings'. Or how nutrition and exercise affects the growth of said euphemisms, but if it can affect height and muscle mass, I don't see why that one organ should be exempt.

Apart from sounding depressed I don't think anything is wrong with you. Growth can stop at any time from your teens to early twenties. Hair loss can start at any age, I myself am very thin on top and have been since my early 20's. In fact if it all went tomorrow it would not bother me. As for your penis size you are at the upper end of the average. Size is not everything, it's what you do with it that counts.

Masturbating may protect against prostate cancer\n\nIt will make you go blind. It will make your palms grow hairy. Such myths about masturbation are largely a thing of the past. But the latest research has even better news for young men: frequent self-pleasuring could protect against the most common kind of cancer.\n\nA team in Australia led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne asked 1079 men with prostate cancer to fill in a questionnaire detailing their sexual habits, and compared their responses with those of 1259 healthy men of the same age. The team concludes that the more men ejaculate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to develop prostate cancer.\n\nSee rest of article at link below

There are no harmful effects of masturbation.  I guess you could become pre occupied with it and obsessed maybe, but doubt it. It's normal for guys and girls.

I've heard that before as well, and that it also increases testosterone. That's why one of my old workout partners used to always tell everyone "You want a big chest? Do squats. Want big arms? Do squats." Neither has been absolutely proven.\n\nRegardless, once you're 28 you aren't growing anymore since your epiphyseal (growth) plates have fused. All HGH will do at this point is grow muscles and causes your organs to enlarge (not good!). In addition, some of your bones thicken, especially in the skull. This is why Arnold looks the way he does.

There are no conclusive studies that show anything can actually increase size.  Otherwise, someone would have marketed it & become the richest person in history.  The best advice is not to worry about it.  However, I can tell you that when I was young, I masturbated a lot, I mean a riduclous lot and I'm 7" long & 6" around, which is very thick.  Maybe just coincidence, but I wonder if the increased blood flow helped.  But I can tell you that being well endowed NEVER ONCE helped me get sex or helped with any relationship I was in.  It's your passion & creativity that really matter.

If you meant the masturb*tion, I say:\nNo, you should run no significant risk.\nAnybody acts according to his sexuality and lust.\nA friend of mine had anaemia after one year he was been mastu*bating 3-4 times in a day.\nBut it even depends by your body-build too. \nMasturbating can be done as frequently as you wish as long as it does not interfere with your life.\nDon’t worry, just act as you feel and enjoy!

There is quite a bit of evidence that it is VERY good for your mental and physical health. The incidence of prostate cancer is apparently considerably less on guys that masturbated frequently, especially in their younger years. No doubt that it's normal, healthy and fun...so go for it and enjoy!

MASTURBATION MYTHS:\nfrom http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.html\n\nChances are, of all the things you've heard about masturbation, most of them were absolutely false. For some reason, misinformation surrounds masturbation like virtually no other topic. How do you spot a masturbation myth? One simple method is to ask yourself if the statement is also true of sexual intercourse. When you're masturbating, your body only knows it's getting sexually stimulated; it doesn't know by what means. So, for instance, if the question is whether or not masturbation causes acne, think of it this way: If it did, intercourse would also cause acne. In fact, neither masturbation nor intercourse cause acne.\n\nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.\nFACT:\nHow many people with hair on their palms have you seen?  \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.\nFACT:\nInternet scam artists have tried to invent a concept called "overmasturbation," insisting that you have to buy their expensive herbal pills in order to counteract the effect of masturbating more than a couple of times per week. But the pills have absolutely no effect — and masturbating once or twice a day will not make your hair fall out, or cause anything else they claim.\nMYTH:\nMasturbation is bad for your eyesight. \nFACT:\nMasturbation does not affect eyesight. This myth probably originated because boys often start having to wear glasses at about the same age they start masturbating. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes your penis to stop growing (or) to get bigger. \nFACT:\nMasturbation has no effect on penis size whatsoever. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes your testicles to shrink.\nFACT:\nAbsolutely false! It is true that if you're highly aroused, your testicles become engorged with blood and may appear slightly larger and heavier, and that masturbating will make them revert to normal. But they will absolutely not be any smaller than after the last time you masturbated. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes acne. \nFACT:\nIt doesn't cause acne. Like the eyesight myth, this is a case of two things that happen at the same time, even though one doesn't cause the other. \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes sexually transmitted diseases. \nFACT:\nHello? "Sexually transmitted" means from one person to another. You can't give yourself a sexually transmitted disease! \nMYTH:\nIf you masturbate too much, you'll run out of semen and become sterile. \nFACT:\nSemen is a fully renewable resource. When you ejaculate semen, your body simply makes more — the same way your body makes more saliva after you spit. \nMYTH:\nPeople can tell whether you masturbate by how your penis looks. \nFACT:\nMasturbation does not change the appearance of your penis. (It does tend to cause an erection, but that usually goes away when you're finished.) \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------\n\nConnection between ejaculation frequency and prostate health \nhttp://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/4961.html\n\nQUESTION:\nI have been coming across articles on the connection between masturbation, ejaculation, and overall health. I was very surprised about this article from the Cancer Council Victoria in Australia . It was a study that confirmed that ejaculation frequency is important for a healthy prostate. The protective effect was most significant in men in their twenties who ejaculated on average 7 or more times per week. It compared this against same-age men who ejaculated less than 3 times per week. I made a New Year's resolution to pay attention to my body and to ejaculate at least once a day. I feel much better for it and my penis strength and sexual urge has increased immensely. I feel balanced. After a year, I can't imagine going back to my old repressed frequency and probably couldn?t keep from cumming for a whole day if I tried now. Why aren?t people made aware of this need? After getting
