Does Sexual Arousal Increase DHT?
This isn’t another “does mastrubation cause baldness?” question but it is related. Many people seem to think that mastrubation increases testosterone which increases dht levels but does simple sexual arousion cause a rise in testosterone levels too? If I am sexually aroused, and find myself with an erection, is that enough to influence dht levels or is it ejaculation of semen that is the prime testosterone booster?
I guess this is another way to answer the same issue. Masturbation, erections, sexual arousal, ejaculation, etc do not cause hair loss. Your genetics are the cause of male pattern balding.
I’m not trying to be rude here, but I get this question many times a week and have answered it dozens of times already. And every time I write about it, I get emails from guys that disagree and tell me tales of going celibate with all of their hair regrowing on their previously balding scalp. I don’t buy it. If that was the cure to balding, I think the world would look very different.
If you believe masturbating or sexual arousal can lead to hair loss, then feel free to leave your genitals alone and stay away from anything or anyone that might sexually excite you. If you see your balding continue, you could probably find something else to blame it on.
maybe masturbation causes hairloss in those that are genetically predisposed to baldness. Masturbation its self might not be the trigger, but if one has the gene for male pattern baldness than it can trigger it. I could be wrong though, so no one take this at face value lol.
That’s not really answering the question which is about hormone fluctuations and not just about hair loss….???
Well…masturbation causes you to grow hairy palms. So maybe we can FUE that hair to our heads! LOL!
Masturbation doesn’t cause ‘hormone fluctuations”, which also don’t cause male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness is – as Dr R has answered a few hundred times – caused by a genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to DHT (which isn’t affected by masturbation).
No wonder I’m going bald!
The Doc is right, it will not cause your baldness. Intuitively it doesn’t seem far fetched that you would see an acceleration from smoking, drinking, the life of fried food and no sleep, and yes even perving out 24/7 to porn could probably accelerate things to whatever extent your abusing your body. And not having sex at all? Well we know that’s a pretty intense stressor too. Moderation my friend, anything extreme might trigger your genes to rebel prematurely. So stop worrying and relax knowing that a cure will probably be found before you lose it all.
Nobody is saying masturbation can cause MPB in all individuals.
Masturbation does increase DHT because the prostate has to produce more semen therefore raises DHT levels, there are papers about it masturbation causes DHT levels to rise therefore it DOES have an impact in those GENETICALLY predisposed to hair loss.
LISTEN PEOPLE….
i started loosing my hair when i was 18..im 26 now..balding like crazy and i would mastubate everyday…
dont listen to these people…im a bio major..masturbation has a correlation with hairloss
I believe that sexual arousal increase hair loss, because it increase testosterone and about 5% of it became DHT which increase hairloss. But sexual arousal can’t be cause of hair loss because it’s genetic problem.
Why, Why Why don’t you read the question. the only place this question is ask is this page and you don’t even read it. The Fuck your doing not even reading the “This isn’t another “does mastrubation cause baldness?””
