Has masturbation made my penis small?

Question:

Hi,

I am 20 years old. I have been masturbating since I was 10. I used to masturbate heavily. Now I think I have got the trick of how to ejaculate, and I can ejaculate in 10 seconds. My penis is 4 inches. Is it due to my masturbation that my penis length is small? Would stopping masturbation increase my penis, or would it help me to regain my control over ejaculations? I was hoping to see a doctor, but I came across this site and hoped you might answer my questions.

Answer:

Masturbating does nothing to your penis length. It would be similar to claiming that walking makes your feet smaller. The size of your penis is determined by genetics.

Speed in ejaculating helps when you want to get rid of semen without being discovered, but it is what is needed for sex after you get married. Stopping masturbation won’t necessarily help either.

I’m assuming that you are not masturbating to pornography or lustful thoughts. If you are, then the first thing you need to do is get rid of the lustful materials because is it causing you to see sex in a perverted way. See Pornography. What will result is that you’ll find it harder at first to ejaculate. That is fine for now. You need to get to the point that you ejaculate because you have a need, not for the pleasure.

When you get to that point then you can start working on holding off ejaculating for longer periods of time.
