Question:
Does masterbation make your penis bigger? I herd some of my friends talking about it, so I wanted to know if it is true.

Masturbation doesn’t change the size of the penis. It is considered as a normal sexual behavior that -according to various studies- is practiced by more than 90% of men. There is no physical harm in masturbation but it will not make your penis bigger. Some men are over-concerned with the size of the penis. In most cases the size of the penis is normal. This is usually a psychological problem, a condition described as ‘Body dysmorphic disorder’ and is best resolved with psychological evaluation rather than with medications or penile augmentation surgery.
