Is DHT Good for You and Your Sexuality?

Hi Doc,

First off, thank you for your honesty and integrity regarding hairloss issues. I find it difficult to trust a lot of the information out there.

I was wondering — Is DHT good for you? This study seems to suggest it is of primary importance in male sexuality. Contribution of dihydrotestosterone to male sexual behaviour

Thanks!

For the young man who is going through puberty and prior to it as well, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) has a major role in developing our sexual characteristics like hair under the arms, pubic hair, beard, chest hair, etc. You can read more about DHT’s role at Wikipedia.

The article you referenced seems to reflect that the measure of DHT was made by monitoring the number of orgasms that young men aged 18-22 years, would have in a week. This measure has its limitations. The study is generally informative and worth reading.
