I think there is a very fundamental misunderstanding here, and I really find it very confusing how people miss it.
We are not arguing that everyone who masturbates or engages in regular sexual activity will lose their hair, and everyone who doesn't won't.
We are not arguing that quitting masturbating will necessarily cure your hair loss (or at least I'm certainly not).
The point I am trying to make is that anything that impacts male hormones has the potential to affect male pattern baldness, as it is a hormone-triggered condition.
Most of you would agree that injecting some balding dude with DHT will probably make him bald faster, and decreasing his DHT would probably make him bald slower (this seems obvious to me, at least).
So why is the idea that activities that have an effect on androgen levels may also have an effect on male pattern baldness so illogical?
I have yet to hear a scientific counterargument to this basic logic.
