NoFap causes hair loss?!

No, NoFap does not cause hair loss.

This is utterly absurd.

Totally something else that is doing it.

That's like saying celibacy and sexual transmutation causes hair thinning, no. Doesn't work that way. Something is uniquely wrong with you that is unrelated to NoFap progress.

If your hair is thinning I can recommend you start taking a herb called He Shou Wu immediately. Do your research.

Don't start wasting semen thinking it will stop your hair from thinning....

 

Ahhh not another post about hair loss. Masturbation or abstinence has zero impact on your hair.

There is absolutely no evidence to support that masturbation and PMO causes hair loss. It seems to be one of those things where somebody noticed their hair falling out and he wanted to blame it on Porn, then everyone else who had the same thing jumped on the bandwagon.

If you're losing your hair it is caused by something else. Mainly genetics. It doesn't matter if your brothers, sisters, parents have a good set of hair.. your genetics could be more related to your great grandfather, who didn't have a lot of hair. (I'm not talking about you, just in general)

 

Pfffft! If it actually does, I can offer you hundreds of natural remedies for hair regrowth.
Ps I just realized how close to bald my hubby is after 18 yrs...

 

There's definitely a connection. There have been some guys that posted pictures on here when they were severe pmo addicts and then went on a good streak and their hair growth came back.

 

Like everyone else I got an opinion to share. The faster you come to terms with your balding or receding hairline the faster you can be more content and confident. I don't recommend trying to salvage your hair with those dangerous chemicals that you have to get illegally ,nor rogaine for that matter .

If I had to put my finger on what had an affect on this, it was daily stress being a frustrative person, also stress caused from pmo. Not necessarily masturbation itself but the stressful situations of put myself through to achieve O. I also smoked lots of weed and cigarettes.

Quote reads: "you can choose to be bald, or be balding"

 

Abstinence from orgasm (not specifically NoFap, although that includes NoFap) restores androgen receptors in the BRAIN not in the body (that means it does nothing to receptors in the scalp/head). I say restores, because it's not that you're getting new receptors, it's that those receptors were "switched off" by repeated orgasms. When you stop, they're able to switch back on and function as they were supposed to.

These receptors are ONLY responsible for the psychological effects of androgens, and NONE of the physical ones. So increasing their presence will have zero effect on your hair.

Dopamine levels are normal in PMO addicts, what isn't normal is the D2 receptors to which dopamine binds. Just like androgen receptors, these receptors get down-regulated, which causes you to feel as if you're low dopamine, even if your dopamine levels are normal. It's important to make this distinction.

If you are doing NoFap, you are increasing your sensitivity to dopamine - which in turn is reducing your prolactin levels. So, you would actually be reducing your risk of hair loss going by your reasoning in the first post.

The whole PMO depleting your body of minerals thing is bullshit honestly. PMO has a ton of negatives, but that's not one of them. You actually lose very few minerals in an orgasm and as long as you have a healthy diet with complete mineral content, it's all replaced very quickly. You're not suddenly super-dosing Zinc if you don't fap for a week. It's not like that.

TL;DR No, you have male pattern baldness, and it has nothing to do with NoFap, it's just a coincidence that it started to happen now.

Get on Finasteride if you care about keeping your hair, and do it quick before it's too late. Or just accept the fact that you're balding and perhaps consider going for a buzz cut.

 

Dude I'm 29 and I am losing my hair kinda like how you described it. It'll be awesome if it came back but I'm not holding my breath. I am willing to bet that majority of my hair loss was environmental due to huge amounts of stress on me the past 5 years or so I also wear hats a lot so that might have something to do with it. And I used to have thick hair I mean like a god damn mop thick.

For me I am not at all worried about it I'm either gonna go all bald, all grey which I am riddled with grey hairs already the truth is probably some where in between.

anyway I really don't think there is a correlation to pmo and hair loss I've read the same things you have but I don't think it's true. Enjoy the hair you have now you might not have it later is how I look at it.

 

Dude, but some people here binge and beat off so much that they're shooting their spunk into tissues multiple times a day. That's a lot of nutrients lost from the body in just a course of a week let alone month.

 

Here's what you lose in one orgasm:



The thing you lose most of in an orgasm is Zinc. You would have to have 33 orgasms in a day just to lose all your Zinc, and assuming you're getting your daily Zinc, it would all be replenished the next day. So don't spread misinformation

Calorie wise, the contents of an orgasm contain about as many calories as a single crumb of bread.

(PS don't use that as an excuse to masturbate. It's not. It's just the "losing nutrients" thing is a myth, that I hate seeing perpetuated. It's myths like these that I'm very against because they make outsiders look down on NoFap, as they see people spreading bullshit and then figure the whole thing is equally bullshit. There are many reasons not to masturbate, but losing vitamins/minerals is not one of them.)

 

No

 

My hairs are falling out also.

 

But guys, I am experiencing premature thinning of hair. I don't know how to deal with it. It may be due to excessive faping and over use of cigarettes had effects.
Now I completely quit smoking. And I am doing nofap. I hope it should stop further thinning of my hair.
And also you actually don't need to worry much about hair fall now days. Because hair transplant technology has been becoming popular and cheaper now days. You can complete your treatment with cost less than a I phone 7. It is very cheap when you consider it as a life long investment. So there is no big deal about hair thinning. Don't need to worry much.

 

Also I came across a website which claims that scalp muscle excersise can stop hair fall and bring back thickness. I don't know how true it is. But I am going to give it a try. It involve movement of muscle on forehead and muscle on back of your head alternatively. This involves great practice to gain control over these muscle. I going to try this. You guys can also give it a try.
If Anyone who is doing such excersise already can tell about results

 

I can confirm your experience with hair loss/thinning. This is the third time I have experienced the correlation. Other than that the superpowers have been real. Looking forward to keeping up with your investigation.

 

I have the same exact problem. I have been on nofap streak for 3 months but then I lost so much hair that I had to back to fapping and saw the difference. I dont like to fap at all but I am slowly reducing the count per weak instead. I also feel tingling over head where its thinning.

 

The only thing that provokes allpecia is chemicals, severe stress and a lack of vitamins. These are the main causes of alopecia. Also do not forget about genetics. It was because of this that my uncle developed allopecia and, moreover, his hair fell out so quickly that he did not even have time to begin treatment. Just imagine. In just two weeks, he was completely hairless and this is really very terrible. Nevertheless, he did not come to terms with this and constantly reads articles on hair transplantation like http://thehairlossadvisor.com/hair-transplants/hair-transplant-turkey/. In any case, the whole family wants him to abandon this idea, because despite the effectiveness it is a risky step!

 

I don't know about the rest of males who masturbate but I have been losing hair during my fap days, I am losing hair now with 48 days fap-free.
Seems like I will be bald no matter what. Nothing works for me!
