Can excessive masturbation or sex cause baldness for men?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Despite some of the blogs and websites that are out there suggesting excessive ejaculation (whether via masturbation or sex) can increase Dht levels and thereby increase the risk of male pattern baldness, there is no validated, scientific approach to those claims and faulty conclusions. If such was the case, baldness in men would be a pandemic and rogaine (minoxidil) more popular than tyelenol.

No: The claim about raising hormones is totally made up. Men lose their scalp hair depending on genetics and particularly how much chest hair they were blessed with as teens. Enjoy yourself and love responsibly.
