Sup /sci/.
I've been wondering, does masturbation during the puberty peroid affect your height? I mean, if testosterone is the thing that blocks the height hormone in some way, and an orgasm is the best way to get rid of it, then shouldn't it make you grow taller? I've seen a programme about castrates on tv the other day, and they all seem to be really fucking tall, due to lack of the testosterone.

tl;dr, will fapping during puberty make one taller?

No, only growth hormone injections will make you taller.

And it's estrogen, not testosterone, that makes you stop growing. Testosterone converts to estrogen in fat tissue and seals up your growth plates.

So, even if someone tried to get his testosterone as low as possible, he won't get any taller than if he would be living a normal life, or a step further, going to the gym, exercising, not fapping at all etc?

First, orgasm releases testosterone from the testicles, so fapping increases the amount in your body. Second, higher testosterone means you will be taller. That is why women are on average shorter than men.

>they all seem to be really fucking tall, due to lack of the testosterone

Are you assuming this, because if so it's a correlation/causation logical fallacy.
