Does masturbation affect hair loss?

Balding is mostly genetic but it can also be accelerated by excessive fapping. @blunt.ever i think @YDKM made a very informative post (in case you're looking for the science behind it), at one point I used to take DHT blockers but I continued to fap not knowing that it was causing the build up of DHT. Also bald men tend to have higher testosterone in general so maybe a good portion of that gets converted to DHT, rather bald men are more sensitive to DHT which causes male-pattern baldness.

 

I started watching porn in 2000 and was a heavy fapper and suddenly in 2001 my hair started shedding like crazy.

 

thanks for the sharing.
Most people will still deny this as "unscientific".
balding never seemed to me like something a healthy young person should experience.

 

My hair is better than before.

 

I’m convinced it can cause hair loss. If nothing else then by the stress pmo causes. I got a bald spot when I was 22 for fucks sake

 

a

are you kidding?

 

I come from china,though TCM say too much ejection can cause hair loss,but i don,t think so.I belive the modern medicice.

 

In hinduism hair would be more about the loss of manomaya kosha than annamaya kosha or pranamaya kosha.

 

DHT is produced in the testicles.

Its like a factory, when you are jacking it.

I am skeptical, but if doctors think porn and masturbation are healthy, and we know it isn't, then it's highly likely that excess masturbation causes hair loss.

When my hair was longer I would notice weaker hair the next day, and strands falling out.

 

My personal experience-I was masturbation 3 to 4 times a day and not exercising or focusing on a healthy diet, my age is 27 and my hair got thin after that I stopped masturbating for few days and also it affected on my energy and I started paying attention to exercise and healthy food, I think when you masturbate you lose a lot of vital nutrients from the body. So I guess it could be a reason for hair loss.

 

Scientific studies stating that masturbating is healthy was well funded by the porn industry. Look into it. Then the doctors read into it and then promote it themselves while they are popping those anti hair loss, anxiety, adhd, and dick drugs.

Hair loss drugs are a multi million dollar industry...and as a side effect is a limp dick. No thank you.

For those stating that people masturbate and have no hair loss...well look at the bigger picture.

"Propecia, which earns its parent company Merck ($MRK) $400 million in revenue per year according to financial records."

$400 million a year ! And then those that take it get a limp dick in exchange for hair. Then they take dick drugs to compensate for such loss of libido so they can continue fapping away.

I'll stick to my NoFap regime and see those hairs continue to regrow.

 

Are they actually regrowing?

 

I really belive so because before nofap, my hair was brittle af, whenever when I would pick my hair it was so flimsy, my hair would fall out easily. Now being on pmo my hair is alot stronger and resistant.

 

I can honestly say from personal experience that excessive pmo'ing accelerates hair loss and causes hair thinning. I notice a drastic change in my hair when on NOFAP, the first time I experienced thick and firm hair was last year when I hit over 100 days of NOFAP. I pay attention each morning when I comb my hair with how many strands of hair fall out, and when I'm on NOFAP there are barely any hair strands I notice in my comb. Unfortunately I fell into a bad habit and relapsed a few times about a week ago due to this whole self-isolation/distancing in relation to the pandemic (COVID-19). And one of the first things I noticed was how my hair looked and felt. Thin, greasy, easily falling out, and shit volume/density. Now obviously there are individuals out there that say "but I have PMO'd daily almost all my life and my hair is as thick as ever with no signs of balding". Understand that those individuals are part of a lucky percentage of men who aren't predisposed to balding. So yes genes play a role, but if you are predisposed to balding, then pmo'ing will speed up the process dramatically. Lastly, I also believe specific types of P*rn and what men choose to get off to can accelerate the balding process even more. As for some men, watching P and whacking off causes anxiety levels to rise as well as stress levels to increase (due to guilt and so forth), therefore leading to rapid hair loss (as stress/anxiety is a major cause of hairloss). There is also scientific evidence that indicates that testosterone converts into DHT when a man PMO's, and of course excessive amounts of DHT is the major reason why males lose their hair.

 

true

 

At the very least it exasperates the hair loss process. Shortly after orgasm there is a spike in prolactin and cortisol hormones. Both of these hormones play a part in the production of DHT. It is DHT which triggers hair follicles into dormancy and also seems to have an inflammatory effect on the scalp. There is a reason why the same medication used to stop hair loss is also used to shrink prostate inflammation.
