I've heard that growth hormone can make us taller, and that masturbating can make me taller by augmenting GH release. Is that true?
Growth hormone in humans has an average half life of 20 minutes, maximal half-life of 30 minutes.
I have not ever seen studies demonstrating effects of masturbation on GH.
However, if we were to invent some magical link between masturbation and HGH release, you'd have to jack off 20 times daily to mimic HGH natural patterns, with peak-jack-off events at bedtime, to mimic the natural bedtime HGH spike.
That "masturbation can catalyze growth hormone release" would be a great urban legend to start or propel.
(this reply comes from the doctor who lectures local geriatricians and gerontologists on how to use HGH for their patients)
