Hello dear,

1. Height of an individual is determined by Genetics, Environmental & Nutritional factors and Hormonal factors (most important the Growth Hormone secreted by pituitary gland in brain)
An individual stops growing in height after the fusion of the Epiphyses (growth plates) of the long bones, which occurs by the age of 17-21 yrs in males.
After the fusion of growth plates, height of an individual can be increased only by surgical methods.

2. Remove all myths & misconceptions from your mind about masturbation.
In fact, Masturbation is completely normal & doesn't have any bad effect to the body and mind.

Please let me know if you have any further queries.
You can ask me a direct query on this website using the below link: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-polash-sannigrahi/64925

One more thing...avoid consuming any over the counter medication which claim to increase height...it may be harmful.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
