Okay, so I am sure all of us have heard this theory before: “Masturbation contributes to hair loss”. I have done a significant amount of reading on this and to be honest, it is hard to know for sure. Different sources are saying different things. Some say that masturbation/sex accelerates male pattern baldness and others say it does not play a role at all. Putting aside everything I have read elsewhere and looking at my own experience with hair loss, I struggle to accept that masturbation has been a causative factor. I am 24 now and only began experiencing hair loss last year. So from the ages of 15-22, I was masturbating A LOT and didn’t experience any hair loss at all. So how could masturbation be a causative factor? I am curious to hear other peoples thoughts.
Your genes almost certainly kicked in causing your hair loss. Your years of masturbating have nothing to do with building up of stress, if anything it reduced your stress. You are, most likely, just developing a genetic balding process.
