Regular Member Darkhorse23 Posted March 1, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hey guys, I wasn't sure where to post this question, so i decided to post it here. Anyway my question is does masturbation or excessive masturbation can hair loss or thinning? I last year went to see Dr. Arocha in Houston, and asked him if masturbating causes hair loss, and he said no. I'm still skeptical though and wondering if my excessive masturbating habits is to blame for my thinning in my temple areas. Just some background on me, I didn't start masturbating until i was 24, in 2014. At that same time there was no thinning at all. In 2015, i started to notice thinning, and obviously here am I now in 2017 wondering if i'm to blame for my situation. Anyway in terms of my family history(i believe i've shared it on here), my father went bald in his 40's. My grandfather as well. I'll be 28 in June.

Regular Member Harebrained Posted March 1, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted March 1, 2017 Male pattern baldness is purely genetic by nature. Masturbation has absolutely nothing to contribute to hair loss. It is a disproven theory that has been around forever. Something you need to ask yourself is why masturbation would contribute anymore to hair loss than a normal active sexual lifestyle. I think if masturbation contributed to hair loss, all us men would be walking Norwoods 7's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted March 1, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2017 On average, you lose 3 hairs every time you masturbate. Just kidding. No. There is no correlation. Genetics cause it. Finasteride can help block dht which would help your situation.

Senior Member harin Posted March 3, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have a differing opinion!, masturbation itself does not cause hair loss, there have been studies showing correlation of testosterone levels and masturbation. So if your follicles are DHT sensitive along with elevated testosterone levels (which in turn leads to elevated DHT baed on your 5-alpha reductase enzyme)then it will likely lead to hair loss. Haven't seen any trials on pubmed on this though. My Thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Sensor Posted March 15, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted March 15, 2017 Your doctor was totally right, masturbation isn't connected with the hair loss. Sadly but in your case the reason is in the genes, I suppose that you can repeat the fate of your father Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 This is a very popular hair loss myth, I believe it was probably created by parents to use as a scare tactic on pubescent children to stop them from doing what they may consider as "immoral". So to debunk the myth once and for all, no, there is no correlation between masturbation and hair loss. It doesn't matter how frequent you masturbate either. The primary reason people lose hair is due to genetics. Either program to lose your hair or you're not. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member voxman Posted March 16, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 16, 2017 I took it upon myself to conduct a rather lengthy individualized study on this subject and once I got up on the subject I was really interested at first, then not so much. But I got interested again later and then...again not so much. The study continues. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
