    Hi all,

    I'm a 23 year old that has excessive masturbation problems. I've realised that this has probably caused my ED, but I was also wondering whether anybody has experienced hair loss too? I've done some reading online and found out that DHT can build up in the scalp with excessive masturbation and that this can cause a receding hair line. I am sure that this isn;t genetically caused because I have always had extremely thick hair, as does my brother, father and grandfather. Having realised that my masturbation problem might cause it, does anybody know if I start nofap, whether the effects are reversible? I really noticed the "triangle" had gone where the hairline begins to go back!

    Thanks

    Umm, are you saying bald men are wankers? :p

    I always thought hair loss was associated with testosterone, but this page suggests that it is the product of testosterone with an enzyme that drives baldness

    However, that means the more testosterone you have the more DHT you can produce which in turn could lead to some hair loss.

    But it appears MO has no affect on testosterone so in turn that would suggest MO has no affect on hair loss.

    This is by no means scientific theory, but I would be inclined to suggest that you are going through what we all go through as we get older. Things about our body change and sometimes bits drop off.

    Hi, my hairline receded once when I was about 19 years old which was unusual. It ended up being a temporary thing as was apparently stress related. I seem to remember my barber calling it alopecia but I don't know if that was correct?

    Congrats on getting your hair back? Do you remember what steps you taken to aid the reversal?

    Well, uh... a famous online artist known as Akairiot has hair problems. He's in his twenties and has nearly lost all of his hair. Coincidentally, he draws a lot - and I mean a lot - lewd art. (Some of which I'll admit that I screwed myself to.) It's not unreasonable to believe that he also self-screws quite a bit (because honestly, with art like his to make and view, it'd really almost be impossible not to).

    Link between heavy PMO and hair loss confirmed?

    Haha, okay. Has anyone consider a transplant, I mean the treatment is much more affordable and craftily done you can barely even tell the different. Obviously do your research. I'm getting my hairline restored this summer after years of fapping causes minor receding - I believe.
