A member asked:

Will mastubating lead to increase in body hair growth ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doesn't grow hair: If one starts masturbating in his or her early teen years, he or she will have more body hair by the late teen years. It's just a coincidence, because everyone gets more body hair over those years. Masturbating doesn't cause hair changes (won't cause more hair to grow anywhere, and won't cause hair loss anywhere either).
