Will Frequent Masturbation Slow Puberty Process?

I have not hit puberty and I'm 16 years old. I masturbate frequently. Is masturbating slowing the puberty process down. I have pubic hair but no armpit hair or facial hair. I have little leg hair. So is masturbating slowing this process down and could masturbating make my penis smaller. Please help me.

Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The indication of puberty in male is the production of semen and thereby the ability to produce offspring or children. You already had hit puberty. I think you are lacking knowledge. armpit, facial and leg hair depends on heredity and you will be able to have them when time progresses. It could take some time but definitely you will have them. Masturbation cannot slow the process of hair growth. Masturbation cannot reduce your penis size. Masturbation in any way is not harmful for your health.

But if your knowledge about sex and sexual organs are inadequate, you could face problems like anxiety disorder as you are facing now. I suggest you to consult a psychologist for counseling.

Good luck. Happy New Year. Take care.
