MASTURBATION MYTHS:
from http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.html

Chances 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.

MYTH:
Masturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.
FACT:
How many people with hair on their palms have you seen?
MYTH:
Masturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.
FACT:
Internet 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.
MYTH:
Masturbation is bad for your eyesight.
FACT:
Masturbation does not affect eyesight. This myth probably originated because boys often start having to wear glasses at about the same age they start masturbating.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes your penis to stop growing (or) to get bigger.
FACT:
Masturbation has no effect on penis size whatsoever.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes your testicles to shrink.
FACT:
Absolutely 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.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes acne.
FACT:
It 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.
MYTH:
Masturbation causes sexually transmitted diseases.
FACT:
Hello? "Sexually transmitted" means from one person to another. You can't give yourself a sexually transmitted disease!
MYTH:
If you masturbate too much, you'll run out of semen and become sterile.
FACT:
Semen 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.
MYTH:
People can tell whether you masturbate by how your penis looks.
FACT:
Masturbation does not change the appearance of your penis. (It does tend to cause an erection, but that usually goes away when you're finished.)

Answer 3

Adolescence is a time of great change in boys, both physically and emotionally. Changes in your body are greater than at any other time in your life. Most boys have many questions about these changes and worry about what is normal and what to expect. Puberty (body changes occurring during adolescence) begins first with some enlargement of the testicles and the growth of pubic hair. This occurs most often between the ages of 10 and 14, or occasionally a little earlier or a little later. This onset is determined by your own biologic “clock” that tells your body to start producing high levels of male hormone (testosterone). Puberty usually takes two to two and a half years to complete. Sexual maturation (growth of the testes and development of pubic hair) occurring during puberty is closely related to physical growth (increase in height and weight). Genital growth is divided into 5 stages based on physical changes. Boys have their most rapid growth in height when they reach stage 4 of sexual development. Boys who enter puberty earlier will grow earlier but also finish their growth at an earlier age. Boys who enter puberty later will continue to grow until a later age and have “catch up” growth. Neither early nor late puberty by themselves determine what your final height will be. How much you grow during puberty and what your final height will be depends on your own “biologic clock” and is most influenced by the genes you received from your parents. Growth starts in the feet and hands first, then legs and arms. This explains why adolescents who start to grow often are clumsy and appear “gangly.”

Answer 4

No, it won't stunt your growth. And you are only about halfway thru puberty. Males continue to grow later into late puberty than females. Don't worry.

Answer 5

Along with that you'll go blind and your palms will get hairy!! Just kidding. Masturbation has no affect on height what so ever.

Answer 6

no get that thought out of your head, there is no way,, the only thing know to stunt your growth is ciggerettes & gland dissorders, but i think waxing the carrot might be bad for the mind,, because of what you expose yourself to while doing it,find a girl ,its a much better way to go,and healther, for your mind,,good luck with that

Answer 7

no, it will not affect your height growth. Dont worry, it is better to masturbate, than to be out having promiscous sexual activity.

Answer 8

After around 1,400 times you develope super powers, but lose the abilty to give high fives.

Answer 9

Will not affect anything at all. Just don't get so involved with little willie that you let it interfere with your studies and social life.

Answer 10
