Ok, I think it's about time I should leave a comment here. First off, english is not my main languages nor have I ever been grinding english lessions in school more than the very basics. So please, excuse any errors and what not you may find. Also please, read everything before you leave a comment.
This subject, masturbation and hairloss, has always been very interesting to me. I've done a lot of resarch on the web, read many articles, been talking to people about it.
I believe that masturbation is a contributer to hairloss. Now, relax before you jump on me. Here's why:
As of today, nobody can say with an accurate answer to why some men lose hair. We believe it's caused by DHT and there are many factors supporting this, and I do believe myself that DHT is one of the scoundrels in hairloss. However, I think there are more to it, things we yet have to discover. Then you'd ask, why doesn't all men lose their hair, because all men do produce DHT.
Because not every man has genes that are weak to it. As everyone's body is different, everyone's body reacts differently to DHT as well as every other substances in your body. Some people are more fragile to coldness, whilst other can bare it rather good. It's all genes.
Now, I'm sure you all already know this. But the problem is - if a person (call him A) that's fragile to coldness, how does that hurt him and how does he avoid it? For starters, he'd get a cold much easier than a average man would do. He would cough more than others, he'd have a stuffy nose etc. You get the point. And how does he avoid it? Simple, he stays away from the chill, doesn't spend his time outside in the winters etc. There's no medicine that can fully heal him, as the problem lies in his genes. Of course there are medicine that may help him, protect him from the cold, making him stronger for the moment being. And I think it's the same for us (person B) who suffer from bad "hairloss" genes.
Chill triggers person A, while high amounts of DHT triggers us, person B. And I think we won't lose our hair Just Like That. I think we can avoid it, just like person A avoids chill winters by staying inside or w/e (perhaps it was a vague example but we could take anything really, a man who suffers from epilepsy he'd have to avoid seizyues by not drinking alcohol or abusing any drugs that might trigger him). Our situation is though, as we all know, much harder because we don't know exaclty how to avoid it. But I'm sure there's something - and until we've come up with the correct answer (which very well can be masturbation) we won't know for sure.
When I hit puberty, at 14y/old I started masturbating. At the age of 15, i started losing my hair but I didn't really think about that back then. I did masturbate a lot, and I did also begin training hard at the gym.
I think that these two factors, masturbation and early hard weight lifting in combination with my bad genes, caused my hairloss. I believe that if I would Never had done any masturbation, nor train as hard as I did, I would have much more hair today. As we don't know anything else that could potentially cause hairloss today other than masturbation(and heavy weight lifting) we don't have much to work with.
We know that there's a connection between testesteron and dihydrotestosterone, and masturbating does increase your testesteron levels.(
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_masturba ... one_levels) And more testesteron in your body Could mean more DHT conversations. We dont, know, we dont know, but it's a possibility. And obviously if you produce more DHT it would damage your hair.
Finasterid is for us a medicine that helps us for the time being, like person A takes his meds for his cold. It doesn't cure him, nor does finasterid cure us. All it does is helping us for as long as we take it and the moment we quit, dht will go back as normal, exaclty the same as with person A, the moment he stops taking his meds he too will suffer from his cold. There's no medicine that completley cure us, we can't fight the genes; they will never give up and they will win the moment we give up.
I've seen many who are against the idéa that masturbation causes hairloss claims a research study on the subject. But really, how easy is it to do one of those reasearches? You'd have to find teenagers that are in the age of 14-20 that suffer from bad genes of hairloss that are willing to do this study as well as 'healthy' teenagers that does not suffer from hairloss. I don't think that's an easy task. And also, I haven't read any research that disproves this theory niether.
Oh well I think I made my points clear. I'm sure the numbers will stay the same - the ones that are against the idéa of hairloss and masturbation will continue stay that way and people like me will still believe that there's a connection will continue believe that. Please, these words are just my thoughts. It might be completley false or it might not be. I guess who lives shall see.
but I think that learning to avoid it is best rather than delete it, for me at least makes me go search for more new stuff when I delete the old stuff :hairy:
