There is nothing that either nursegirl, or even me, could add to the advice you've received. Masturbation will not affect your height or body growth in any way. When you say "I limit myself to twice a week and no more than that......." is it the frequency that has you concerned? Because neither the act or the frequency has ANY affect on our bodies growth. It was pointed out that at the age of 26, you are done growing. If your height is an issue for you, that also was addressed by getting some therapy to learn to deal with what is, and what can't be changed.
If masturbation affected one's height, I disagree with mammo. We would not be a nation of short people, we'd be a nation of munchkins!

Masturbation doesn't affect one's height or we'd be a nation of very short people. LOL  You can continue to grow well into your 20's but not beyond 25.  I agree with the above post, if your height is bothering you, get into therapy so you can learn to accept this. Best wishes.

I am going to jump in here with my own personal opinion, but I'm sure Nursegirl will be much more scientific when she answers this post so definitely read what she writes..or even Greenlydia for that matter.  

At 26 you probably are as tall as you are going to get.  Now let's think about the masterbation issue.  What you are doing is no different than having sex with a partner two times a week and doing that has nothing to do with restricting someone's height potential.  

It seems to me that your height is bothering you.  If it is something that is becoming a burden, I would make an appointment with your doctor and discuss what you are feeling.  They should be able to give you more insight and some strategies to cope with any anxiety you may be feeling because of your height.  

Hopefully I have set your mind at ease, at least about the masturbation part of this.  

All the best.
