Masturbation without ejaculation would be punishment and not pleasure.

There is no medical link between baldness and sexual activity. It is in the genes and can be affected by hormones. DHT may, or may not, play a major role in baldness but it has much more important effects on the prostate.

Causes and cures for baldness have been debated since time immemorial. The fact remains that if your mother's father went bald, you will, too. Whether or not you play with yourself.

I’m sorry, this is just moronic. This is so far from science it not funny. Brandye knows what she is talking about.

DHT is a possilbe link to hair loss. (or at least from research) See testosterone is converted in the body to either estrogen or DHT or it will stay test. DHT give you power, strength, and deals greatly with sex drive. So by masturbating, you are in fact increasing test (for only a few hours though apporximately 3-4 hrs later it goes to baseline or may even decrease)

This increase in testosterone could lead to an increase in DHT.

Also dht is believed to cause hairloss because it is stored within fat, and it seems to find its "home" in the scalp, which is believed to in essence "strangle" the follicle and kill off the hair. Perhaps that is why people with extra fat in their heads are bald.

Neither the act of masturbating nor the resultant ejaculation has any effect at all on levels of DHT in your system. That is the direct answer to your question.

I looked up DHT and baldness and it seems that some hair loss "treatments" focus on reducing DHT in the body. The only way I know to reduce DHT is the use finasteride. This is a medication used for some prostate conditions and to treat hair loss. Regrowth is doubtful but the loss can be slowed.

If you do want to reduce DHT in your body talk to your doctor about the potential outcomes of doing this. They are not all good.

I read somewhere that masturbating causes hairy palms. I tried to cease and desist and couldn't for more than a couple of days and yet no hair grew there.

Now my hair is thinning on top, I wonder if we should cut out sex? I guess I am destined to become bald someday.

Im sure if it was true there would be a heck of alot more bald men in the world :D:p;)

Every man on my mother's side of the family was crowned by their late teens. Every man on my father's side has a full set of hair. I've been puzzled but pleasantly surprised that in my mid 20's....I still have hair....though I doubt it will last.

Interesting subject. I've given this some thought...here goes. I'm balding and my brother is not. I am married. He is not. When I got married, my wife ate wedding cake. I heard that when women eat wedding cake at their wedding, they stop wanting sex. Thats when I started to masterbate again and now I'm almost bald! I think you're on to something...

Dude, you can't be serious. ??

This is so rediculous that I just had to write this. HaHa!

Masterbation leads to baldness? You have to be kidding? Everybody knows that masterbation doesn't lead to baldness, but it will make you blind and stunt your growth!

Ha Ha

I always wondered why I have to use a walking stick and why I am 3 feet shorter than the rest of the family..........

Sorry LangstonW, but that is not even close to a reliable source. One persons experience and a bogus study that assumes a connection without actually proving it means nothing in science.

[QUOTE=LangstonW;231639]Now Im not saying there is any evidence, just that its a possibility, I wouldn't bet money on it, but its not proved otherwise as well.[/QUOTE]

This is want we, in the scientific community,call a religion my friend.

Hey Langston,

I bet you are the guy at the party that no one ever wants to talk to because they know from previous conversations that you will always take the controversial side of the topic. They also know that you will either have "scientific proof" or "lack of scientific proof" to argue your point.

You are also the type of guy that has to get the last word in so I can almost guarantee that you will have to reply to this post.

Both sides agree that there is no proof, so why is this still a debate. I say that masturbation makes your ears bigger, I have no proof but I am saying it anyways.

I say masturbation is great .. who cares if all the men in the world go bald:D

mmm bald headed men are sexy:p

Did all happen to notice the forum sponsor (s)? And his occupation??

Hair Replacement!

Of course he is going to have every theory & when he puts the plugs in an you masturbate? They fall out?

Or the orgasm from masturbation is different than the one from a woman?
Therefore, a more sexually active man would be bald too!

All these years...I thought the men in my family were bald due to genetics! Now explains my high libido!

"It is simple logic. 1) Orgasm = higher levels of prolactin released into the bloodstream. 2) Prolactin stimulates the production of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase 3) 5 alpha reductase converts testosterone into DHT. DHT = hair loss."
[/quote]

Hypothesis is; the more men Orgasm the more prone they are to baldness [based on this statement...this is not correlated to masturbation]. Masturbation is only one way...poor guys.

I wonder about Prol in women...is that why they go bald???

"You are also the type of guy that has to get the last word in so I can almost guarantee that you will have to reply to this post."

I knew you'd have a reply!! The only thing I should have mentioned is that you would have some type of wise crack.

How many readers out there think he is going to have something else to say?

mmm post 669 very nice lol

You guys may have scared him off. What I dent get is why are people still locking for a reason playing with your self is bad for you.

P.S. I wrote this on my BlackBerry so please forgive any type o`s.

Heres the trick to it, if you're that worried about going bald because you're jacking off then dont do it, simple solution lol

Hey Langston,

Sorry for busting your chops. I should have read your profile first. I had no idea you were so young.

Listen, stop trying to figure everything out. Just let nature take its course. When you find the right person, things will be great and you'll have plenty of sex. Here's a little bit of extra advise...don't fall for the first one. I did and fell hard when it ended. I also wasted 2-1/2 years of college with the same girl when I could have been sampling many others!

the process of losing hair due to testosterone is from DHT but unless you're injecting yourself like some kind of weightlifting anabolic steroid program you aren't going to do much much from sexual activity even if you are jerking off 10 times a day.

genetics is way more important and the strongest correlation between baldness and genetic history is with your maternal grandfather (mother's dad). if he went bald there's a pretty good chance you will too at around the same age.

I just turned 48 on the 13th of Jan. I've slept with a ton of ladies, yet I still rub one off here & there. If this were true my head should look like my ( Y ) BALD! LOL WHo comes up with these things? :D
