A Heath Website Says Over-Masturbation Causes High Levels of DHT
Here is a quote I just found on a health & fitness website:
“Over-masturbation or over-ejaculation converts too much testosterone into dihydrotestosterone(DHT). High levels of DHT overload the body causing baldness and possible prostate enlargement. Reducing the frequency of masturbation or ejaculation will help maintain low levels of DHT and avoid hair loss.”
So should I really believe this stuff and, well, ‘keep it in my pants’? I’ve never heard of ejaculation elevating DHT before, so any comment would be appreciated.
Older studies show masturbation cuts prostate problem risks, but a more recent study shows that it could possibly increase prostate troubles for younger men. Yet the study suggests that older men should have frequent sex or masturbate more frequently. Some male health experts believe that men should either have sex once a day or masturbate once a day, but the evidence is really not scientific.
Every man has DHT, yet not every man loses hair. For those that are susceptible, DHT is a cause of hair loss. But even if ejaculating caused a DHT increase, you’d have to be genetically inclined to lose hair for it to actually cause hair loss. Why does this not make sense to people? Masturbating doesn’t cause hair loss. Genetics does. If you never masturbated or had sex in your entire life, you could still lose hair.
I think the point that the article is trying to make that the people who have the gene for hair loss, would be prone to lose their hair faster if they masturbate to an excess.
In other words the more you masturbate the more chance you have for triggering hairloss earlier if you have the gene.
