"Puberty generally lasts two to five years, stopping around ages 17 to 19 for boys. At the end of puberty, the growth plates on the long bones close, which ends the normal period of growth," says Dr. Gettleman.

Some do. However, most males stop growing by the time they've reached 18 or so.

The only male I know of was Robert Wadlow. He grew to be a fraction of an inch under nine feet. He passed age 22 and was still growing on his last day. Source Guiness Book of World Records. NE Journal of Medicine.
