Masturbating definetly has some effect on hair loss

[jedimindtricks]

Ok, beating your meat definetly has some effect on hair loss.

One day I'll beat and that night I will have like 50-60 hairs come out in the shower.

Then another day I wont beat, and I have like 10-12 hairs come out in the shower.

And I have been accounting this for a month, I switch on and off and it is exactly like this.

WOW.....some of these posts are just amazing, you have too much time on your hands :roll:

 

[blondeguy]

Egads. That's the only word I can think of to describe this.

This subject has come up time and time again but you will only get shot down for exploring this as a possible contribution to hairloss.

In my humble opinion anything in excess can be harmful to you, including ejaculation. Your body is expelling chemicals that control DHT and Testosterone levels how can it not have an effect if you beat the bishop in excess!?

And if your forefathers have ever ejaculated excessively whats to say that this body change isn't passed down through genetics to you.

This is just a comment so don't shoot me down you won't get a response.

re:

This topic is shot down for one reason only: THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE CORRELATING MASTURBATION TO HAIRLOSS.
From my point of view, this forum is open to any discussion on causes, treatment and prevention of hairloss as long as the discussion is based on defensible arguments and not old wives tales and conjecture. If someone was to bring some defensible information relating masturbation to hairloss (and not ridiculous accounts of the amount of hair lost in the shower) then I for one would listen and I believe many other people on this forum would. Until that happens, these sort of discussion should take place in other areas of this website so that Newbs are not reading bogus information presented as if it is a fact.
We had this same sort of debate with the shampoo guys (and I am sure this sort of thing will continue) as people were not necessarily shooting down the idea that shampoo can cause (or even drastically effect) hairloss, instead the debate related to the fact that the basis for shampoo causing hairloss was some pathetic website and fact sheets stating that large doses of a common shampoo ingredient can be toxic. My point, if people presented accepted peer reviewed studies correlating shampoo to hairloss, then believe me people would listen.
There are so many snake oils and bullshit products that claim to be the only solution to hairloss because companies try to take advantage of consumers who are desperate and vulnerable. This forum tries to help men make better decisions by asking the simply and responsible question of "why" these product work or don't work.

The only problem is that shedding is completely unrelated to Male Pattern Baldness.

ALL people shed, every day ALL homo sapiens humans continuously lose hairs... this is because hair grows in cycles. The hair grows, is shed, and then another hair starts growing down in the root.

The difference between people who are suffering from Male Pattern Baldness and people who do not is that the male pattern baldness sufferer's hair grows back slightly more thin and weak than the previous one, and in successive cycles the hair slowly turns into peach fuzz.

Thus, counting shed hairs is NO indication that you are going bald.

And if you don't believe me, you can run the brush over my Golden Labrador's coat a few times, see what a REAL shed looks like, and the dog is FAR from going bald...

ive fortunately never lost anything like that amount of hair wanking or
otherwise but i definitely think it has an effect. proving it is an another matter
entirely though.

 

[haunted-ballroom]

Er.....so what if masterbation leads to hairloss? Its not as if your gonna give it up! :lol:

 

[JayB]

heres the solution- never masturbate or engage in sexual activity with a partner ever again.

There you go, easy problem, easy solution. No need to post these topics anymore, case closed. Now go stop shedding hair.

re:

Why is always assumed that masturbation is bad for hairloss? Perhaps it is a good thing that one cleans the pipes as that could be removing harmful testosterone build up. The fact is that we have zero information that masturbation is bad or good!
My point, this is just another example of people "reaching" for some outside factor that is causing and/or greatly accelerating their hairloss. This gives them more control of their plight. In fact, I would guess that other factor like diet, medications, stress and environmental issues could have more impact on hairloss then masturbation.
I also find it funny that it is always masturbation and not sex that is causing all this hairloss. You never hear someone come onto this site and say "man I have been having so much sex that my hair is falling out". Perhaps that's because someone who was getting that much sex would never waste their time on a hairloss forum because they were having too much fun.

Give me a break. Just because a study hasn't been done on something, doesn't mean there is no significance behind the claim. I believe masturbation does have an effect on hairloss.

Give me some reasons why studies should be trusted anyways?

If you haven't noticed yet (and please, tell me you have), everyone has something to gain in this physical reality.

The difference is that masturbation is dirty. And being dirty will make your hair fall out.

Sex is okay and good for the hair, but you have to only do it in missionary position, and you have to be in a committed relationship. Any other sex is dirty, and also makes you lose your hair.

re:

SnowRider,
Look man we are talking about published peer reviewed studies that are produced on a wide range of topics and can easily be found.
I am settled on this issue because long ago (when I was in denial) I researched this subject and I am very confident that masturbation and hairloss are unrelated so frankly I don't care about this subject. I am not trying to avoid the subject, I just don't have the desire or energy to discuss this subject further and find all the documentation I read two years ago.
Don't you find it a little crazy that you have a point of view on a subject without (from what I can conclude) any scientific evidence, any expertise on the subject matter and no facts what so ever. Not to mention you are on a website that is full of people searching for absolutely anything that will solve their hairloss and you are talking about a subject matter (masturbation) that has been discussed constantly, so don't you think that if there was a correlation between masturbation and hairloss, that someone on this site would have found it by now.
Do whatever you want and believe whatever you want, I prefer to accept things only after I see clear evidence.

masterbation does'nt cause hairloss. :roll:

but, hairloss causes masterbation. :wink:

 

[BornBaldDieBald]

masterbation does'nt cause hairloss. :roll:

but, hairloss causes masterbation. :wink:

Haha, dam straight. But hey, if you are worried about beating your meat and losing hair, just jump straight on 5mg of Propecia and take 5 times a day. You will probably not be beating your meat anymore. Two birds, one stone... pun intended.

 

[dietcola]

wearing hats also causes baldness!!!!!!

This is so funny. The way it's supposed to work is that you use a study to come to a conclusion, not come to a conclusion first and then say "Well, it hasn't been DISproven!" You're essentially saying "I'm going to ignore science and simply believe what I want. You can't prove a flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist either!"

 

[Framer]

Wasn't it just a couple weeks ago that many people were saying shampoo causes hairloss? Now people are saying masturbation causes hairloss. The problem I have is a double whammy as I masturbate in the shower and use Head & Shoulders shampoo as a lubricant on my penis? Is this wrong and will it also cause pubic shedding as well? Because I notice alot of pubic hairs in the towel when I dry off not to mention head hair.

 

[abcdefg]

It could. I mean most likely it has very little or no effect but you can never say for sure it doesnt do anything. I think there is little science can totally prove is irrelevant to male pattern baldness when we dont understand male pattern baldness completely. In all this time no one has linked the two so its a pretty safe assumption it has very little or no effect on hair loss.
