or if you rub cayenne pepper on your head it'll grow your hair back, or if you drink your own piss (i'm not kidding, there was an entire thread about it and several people tried it) it'll grow your hair back. Its all ridiculous sh*t that seems to come in waves on these forums.
the difference is, opposed to other bs theories the masturbation one actually has some ground because it does alter hormone levels. knowing this, a guy new to the hair loss world could easily become suspicious and raise questions.
i know this was the case with me. those questions wouldn't arise if there was a study regarding this.
Alters hormones? So does eating red meat, the amount of sleep you get, having sex, drinking green tea (apparently raises dht level), working out, etc.
Its ridiculous to think that quitting having sex, working out, and masturbating is going to solve your hair loss. Its not. You still have normal levels of DHT in your body..your hair is genetically pre-disposed to miniaturize and fall out due to DHT...so its going to continue to do so whether you jack off or not.
You can come up with a pseudo scientific explanation for almost anything. There was a thread maybe a year ago, as i mentioned previously, where this guy had people convinced that if they rubbed their own piss on their heads, or even drank it, it would help their hairloss. He had a whole explanation for why this worked. He had MULTIPLE guys on this thread buying into this and trying it, believing that it was actually doing something. Guys do stupid sh*t like this, and fool themselves into believing its having an effect because they want so badly for there to be some secret treatment that is better than finasteride that will stop this...some crazy technique or rare african herb or whatever. Its all a gigantic circle jerk of denial in my opinion.
