You're fine: Hey man. The stuff you read online about jerking off making you bald is a pack of lies. One of the cults made it up to frighten teen-agers. If you're losing your hair, get with your physician; you may have telogen effluvium, a fungus, or a thyroid problem. It's not from doing what every healthy teen does. Enjoying your body is great and prepares you to be an adult. Think about a happy marriage.
