Anonymous Coward User ID: 1373653 United Kingdom 05/07/2011 05:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wasn't the guy who posted the thread you're talking about. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1372939I've been studying hairloss for many years, and the most common denominator seemed to be DHT. DHT seems to be linked to sex drive in men, as well as erections. So, I realized that if I gave up sex/masturbating, then my sex drive would naturally decrease along with DHT levels. I put it to the test and discovered that it works. I think the younger you are, the higher the chance of you growing your hair back. But I don't know that for sure. I'm 32, and all I know is, my hairline is producing more hairs all the time. Hopefully it will soon be completely restored. I can't put an exact time limit on when that will be. I apologize for suspicion but I had to check if you're on agenda of some sort. If you feel it helps you, fine. I'm still skeptical about it and would have to see a proper scientific research into this matter to believe something like that. It is a rather important issue, guys say they'd rather go bald than stop wanking, so I'm sure there has been some research. So far, I haven't seen any corroboration of this hypothesis which has been around, but as it would seem predominatly on herbal supplements sites. Yes, I don't blame you for being skeptical; after all, there are so many so called hairloss cures out there, but none of them truly deliver. I just decided to post my discoveries on here to help other people out (or to try to at least). You created a follow up post to this about hormones not being responsible for hairloss. It's not the hormone itself that has any sort of chemical affect upon follicles; like I previously mentioned, DHT is a very powerful metabolite, which superheats the blood, and it's the bo Without sounding crude here, but next time you wank, just pay close attention to how hot your temples become; this is because this red hot DHT filled blood is being dispersed byway of the temporalis arteries around your temples. Again when cells are exposed to temps beyond 40C they cannot go through cell division and they begin to shrink. Basically, there is a component within the follicle which contains stem cells, this component is known as the 'hair bulge' and it lays on the command to the dermal papillae to produce hair. When the hair bulge is exposed to high blood temperatures, cell division ceases, and hair stops growing. This is especially true in men who produce more DHT than others, because DHT is a very powerful metabolite, and makes the blood really hot, hence the term, 'red blooded males'. Again, it's not just wanking that causes hairloss, but stress does also. Stress hormones are metabolites, which also cause the blood to become superheated. Cortisone and adrenaline are the stress metabolites in question here. I remember when I was 21 and my ex would cause me to become really angry all the time. I used to rage with anger, and as this went on, I began to notice that my hair began to seriously thin. We split up not long after that, and when she was gone, my hair began to thicken up again, because the stress was gone. The difference between stress induced hairloss and masturbating induced hairloss, is that stress hormones don't actually clog up the capillaries connecting to hair follicles, they just cause the blood temperature to rise, and thus have an inflammatory effect upon follicles. With DHT induced hairloss, DHT is chiefly formed from cholesterol, so each time you masturbate, not only does the blood become really hot and inflame the follicle, but it also deposits DHT within the capillaries connecting to them. As I previously mentioned, the small eccrine sweat glands attached to the follicle become clogged with DHT, so body heat cannot be released effectively, so this heat lingers within the scalp and inflames the follicles, thus causing them to shrink. I understand why so many men don't think it's worth giving up masturbating in order to regrow their hair... totally their choice. But not only is my hair starting to regrow, but I'm looking more athletic than I've ever looked, my penis has grown even bigger, and I'm full of energy everyday. |

Jism contains a lot of life force, it is produced obviously by the testes which come under control from the kidneys, which, also are responsible for hair production(and marrow, ect). Aparently in tantric sex there is a technique where you orgasm but not ejeculate, thus keeping the life force within you. I'm giving up wanking.....tomorrow lol. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1372939That's more than I ever wished to know about masturbation right there. I've not done it for two weeks and counting though, so perhaps my hair will start growing back. |
Duke Nukem User ID: 1373673 United States 05/07/2011 06:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From balding forum: Quoting: TheBlackVegetable 1372464[link to www.baldingforum.com] Here's the deal. DHT does not simply cause hair loss. It causes hair loss in men who are genetically predisposed to have DHT cause alopecia in them. There are no scientific studies that show how much (if at all) masturbation may increase or decrease the rate of hair loss. Your testicles produce testosterone, and in turn that gets turned into DHT. DHT is what causes hair loss in men who are genetically predisposed to MPB. Now, your testicles will ALWAYS produce testosterone. So even if you wore chainmail underwear and never ejaculated ever again (which is impossible cause you'll just do it in your sleep anyway), you'll still produce testosterone, and in turn DHT. My point here is that, even if there were scientific studies (which there aren't) that showed that your body produces much more testosterone and DHT if you masturbated a lot, in turn speeding up your balding, what's the point? You're still going to bald in whatever norwood pattern you're predisposed to, just a little slower. Oh and you'll be miserable and sexually frustrated. The only way that you're going to have any impact on your hair loss by messing with your sexual organs is to properly castrate yourself. Which I don't recommend. This. And the best way to fight baldness ive found is not to deny your sexuality, but to utilize shampoo that effectively removes DHT from your scalp daily.. I use Nizoral which works well and also a product called Nioxin which does same thing. OP, your first sentence is correct, you dont know whats going on here... Dont sacrifice your sex life, just take care daily to wash out the DHT so that it doesnt accumulate and cause hair loss "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

I know, I've taken this into consideration also, and all I know is, my hair is regrowing. I think the category of men you're talking about, suffer from what I term type 1 pattern baldness. Within the hair bulge, there are stem cells (this is proven), and the stem cells program the dermal papillae to produce hair. Type 1 baldness sufferers follicular stem cells go into decline atypically after puberty, and baldness results. Again, this maybe down to the fact that DHT clogs the capillaries connecting to the follicle, or it does something else (please take careful note of what I'm about to tell you) DHT is a very, very powerful metabolite, and it raises the metabolism of cells to a level where they begin to inflame. Imagine an electrical appliance running on too high a voltage? It would go on fire because of the amount of energy running through it. This is a very similar process with DHT and the hair follicles; they simply inflame. I'm a type II pattern baldness sufferer, whereby baldness is not hereditary in my family, yet my lifestyle choices contributed to me losing my hair. This is like diabetes type I and type II; the former you are born with, the latter occurs due to lifestyle choices, like type II pattern baldness, but it can be reversed. |

I'm not talking about follicles at all. In Chinese Medicine they work out what is wrong with a person & link it to the organ that is involved with that part of the body, then they trerat that organ. Hair production is ultimately tied to the kidneys. I know, so many variables, & organs wear away with age anyway, soetimes sooner in some people than others. I'm not going to reply to every variable, just use your own common sense. |

Stopping masturbation lowers your testosterone levels & yeah you may inhibit losing hair, but you also giving up your alpha male status. Why do you think some very attractive women end up with bald men. Would you rather have hair & a woman. Your hormone levels are also vital to the longevity of your life. Lowing levels could be killing you faster. |

Found out the way I pull is based on an exercise to lengthen. But if it works for some, stop. I know I can't. :) That's because your hair follicles don't contain many androgen receptors, whereas men who are geneitcally predisposed to hairloss, have follicles which contain many receptors. You can do it as much as you want, and wont go bald. My case is completely different. Still, I don't mind though; my hair is growing back, and I'm looking better than I ever did. Giving up masturbating has similar effects at lowering DHT levels, as the anti-hairloss pill propecia. The only difference is, you're lowering it naturally without having to pay any money at all to do this. |
