    so read a lot of stuff about how NoFap can stop shedding and even promote regrowth.
    is it true?

    I am not bald, but my hairline is showing signs its about to fail, and my crown is thinning.

    I started abstinence almost 6 weeks ago, and going strong, had one nocturnal emission though.

    I don't think that's true. Genetic baldness is caused by a form of testosterone,DHT, not fapping won't make the DHT go away so.

    mmm don't think so, I heard genetics is pretty stupid, when it comes to balding, as there are baldies with no mpb in their families, but full heads of hair in a family filled with baldies.

    the body does get rid of dht, but slowly, so no fapping might give it time to recover without adding extra dht to deal with.

    I am jewish, and I might add that jewish rabbis say fapping causes baldness period, and it is even supported by the bible, I would post verses + explanations if you want.

    the number 2 reason I believe the two are indeed linked, is the FACT that there are more baldies at younger age, and less baldies in 3 world countries, it is safe to assume the rise of porn is responsible to younger males getting bald, and little to no porn in 3 world countries.

    The bible isn't exactly a scientific correct book :/, so please don't use any of that. And the matter of fact is, is that white people are more likely to go bald, because of genetics and most third world countries are non-white countries. And the first part of that is because the gene for baldness is on the X chromosome. If your mother has 1 baldness X and 1 non baldness X. Then you could have 4 brothers who have the non baldness gene, and you could have the bad luck and have the baldness gene.

    So i would try Minoxidil and Finasteride (propecia) to prevent your baldness from advancing.

    the bible is very scientific... not going to get into it now.

    finestride only works by killing the sexual urge, thus stopping dht, cause NoFap...
    it is better to just stop fapping than taking those dangerous chemicals.

    I heard many people claiming NoFap is the cure to baldness, thought that you guys would claim the same.

    The bible isn't scientific at all, it's just a book filled with fairy tales. And Finestride actively stops the DHT from getting produced. You should do some research before making claims about how it works.

    this is not the place for a such a debate, if you wish to debate about the bible, I would be more than happy to do so, but not here.

    so... why not just NoFap, thus not producing dht.

    It doesn't work like that at all. Every men produces DHT. Baldness depends on how your hair follicles react on it. You still produce testosterone and it still gets turned into DHT even when you don't fap.

    Baldness being on the X chromosome is flat out false. There used to be some thinking along these lines but it was found not to be true.

    So either use the treatment that are proven to be effective or accept that you are gonna go bald.

    It is interesting about hair being related to PMO because if addiction causes hormonal changes then why couldn't there be a connection? I don't know that it would help, though, because testosterone is supposed to increase the chance of baldness, so then abstinence should seem to promote baldness more?

    what other activities convert test to dht?
    I am sure that if such exist, they don't come anywhere close to how much is produced by ejac.

    It happens naturally and only medicine influence it, not activities.

    testosterone has nothing to do with baldness, DHT has, and dht is converted from testosterone by ejac.
    the only times the body produces dht in significant amounts other than ejac, is in the womb when the embrio is changed to male, and in teens to promote growth of facial hair.

    What are you even on about. I don't know where you learned all that crap, but if you don't want to believe me then fine. Go bald then I don't give a fuck.

    in the old days, men used to go bald only after they got married and had sex on regular basis.
    but now, males in their early 20s are going bald, and the numbers are only increasing!
    the only reason I can find, to why such a thing happens, is PORN and our overly sexualized society.

    this is my primary motivation for going on NoFap regiment.

    read somewhere that after 3months I should notice slight regrowth.
