    Hey guys,

    I'm a 19 year old guy who, aside from the usual consequences of PMO, is relatively healthy.

    However, in the past few months friends have been casually pointing out to me that I have a fair number (hard to judge exactly as can't see them in the mirror) of individual grey hairs on the sides of my head. I laugh it off, but obviously this is a source of great insecurity. I cannot think of any explanation for this other then the long-term effect of PMO. It stresses you, it clouds you mind, hell, it even gives you acne so it can have physical effects too.

    Is there anyone with medical knowledge who knows why this might be? I feel like porn has literally been draining my youth and life-force, and this is another manifestation of that. Why is this happening? Is there a way to reverse this? At the moment it's just isolated strands, so I'm praying it won't spread.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hair turn grey cause of the overproduction of cortisole from excessive and chronic stress. Chronic hypercortisolaemia inhibits melanin uptake from the root of the hair thus turning them grey and eventually white. Stop pmo at once,start controlling yourself and all the symptoms will disappear. Its a reversible situation since youre young and healthy but you have to start today.

    Dose pmo cause hair loss. I started to loose hair from age of 19. And I have been a addict to PMO from age of 12. Dose this have correlation. No one in my family have experience the premature hair loss.

    During an orgasm, your body's testosterone is converted to the famous di-hydrotestosterone (DHT) which causes acne, hairfall etc...so yes, pmo will cause hairfall.

    thanks, this is useful information. Put of interest, how reversible is this in your experience? i.e. if I hold back from PMO now, since I'm still young, can the effects be reversed? Are there any other thing to be done to reverse this?

    thanks really hope this will be the case. If nothing else, it's just a reminder of how serious this addiction can be, when it begins to manifest itself PHYSICALLY. Thanks

    true, and obviously I've got bigger things to worry about. Was just worried that it might start to spread, and that's certainly not normal at the tender age of 19.

    I have also experienced early grey hairs. I think they could well be related to PMO for some of the following reasons:
    • You stay up late masturbating, so suffer from sleep deprivation.
    • You excessively expel nutrients and minerals in your semen.
    • Having wasted time and feeling exhausted and unprepared for the next day, your body reacts with immense stress to enable you to perform your usual activities.
    Let me know which of the above applies to your situation.

    Don't worry about the greys. That's not too uncommon, and could be genetic.

    Not uncommon. More likely tied to genetics. Same with balding.
